Haunted Mansion Virtual Queue

Hey Disneyland Vacationers! Exciting news! After an extensive refurbishment, the iconic Haunted Mansion at Disneyland is set to reopen on July 29th. Disneyland made the announcement on social media on July 25, 2024 sparking joy and anticipation among fans. The attraction, which closed on January 22, 2024, will reopen as the “holiday” Nightmare Before Christmas version, bringing a spooky yet festive twist to the beloved ride. Let’s look at what you need to know about the attraction reopening and how to use the new Haunted Mansion Virtual Queue.

What’s New with the Haunted Mansion?

During the closure, Disneyland took the opportunity to redesign the queue, making the waiting experience more immersive and enjoyable. Additionally, an all-new retail shop celebrating Madame Leota will eventually open, offering unique and themed merchandise.

To manage the high demand and ongoing construction in the area, the Haunted Mansion Holiday will implement a virtual queue system. This means that guests will need to use the Disneyland app to request access to the attraction, as a standby queue will not be available at this time.

Here’s what you need to know about the Haunted Mansion Virtual Queue:

  1. Preparation: Ensure your MyDisney account is linked to your group’s park tickets. Each guest can only request to join the virtual queue once per day during regular park hours. A theme park reservation will also be required.
  2. Daily Opportunities to Join the Virtual Queue:
    • 12:00 PM (Noon): Guests inside Disney California Adventure Park with a Park Hopper ticket or inside Disneyland Park can request to join the virtual queue.
    • 7:00 AM: Guests must have a park reservation for Disneyland Park with a one-park ticket or a park reservation for Disneyland Park with a Park Hopper ticket to request to join the virtual queue.

By following these steps, you can ensure a smoother and more enjoyable experience at the Haunted Mansion Holiday.

Tips for a Spooktacular Visit

  1. Plan Ahead: Make sure you have the Disneyland app downloaded and your MyDisney account set up before your visit. This will save you time and hassle on the day of your trip.
  2. Set Reminders: With only two opportunities to join the virtual queue each day, setting reminders on your phone for 7:00 AM and 12:00 PM can help you not miss out on your chance to experience the Haunted Mansion Holiday.
  3. Stay Flexible: As with any theme park experience, flexibility is key. Be prepared for changes and have a backup plan in case you’re unable to secure a spot in the virtual queue.

The reopening of the Haunted Mansion is a highly anticipated event, and with these tips and the virtual queue system, your visit can be as magical and smooth as possible. Whether you’re a long-time fan or a first-time visitor, the Haunted Mansion Holiday promises a thrilling and festive experience that you won’t want to miss.

So mark your calendars for July 29th, download the Disneyland app, and get ready to join the virtual queue for a spooktacular adventure at the Haunted Mansion Holiday!
