A total classic for the park, but it's even more fun during the fall-winter. Try looking up the history on the ride and story behind it all while in line!
Every Halloween the mansion features a new completely edible gingerbread house on the table in the main dinning room. Make sure you spot it. The cast eats it after the holidays!.
In order to beat the crowds inside, once you enter the elevator stand closest to the wall facing the other elevator. Then at the bottom the doors will open right in front of you and you'll be first.
Quite possibly my favorite ride. If you enjoy anything Halloween related, you will love this! Oct-Dec THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS takes over making it even better. Make this a top choice!
Mi ride favorito de todos los parques de Disney. En orlandoby Tokyo no me tocó ver a The Bride lo que hizo este diferente. Me podría subir unas 5 veces seguidas.
Visit after Thanksgiving for Nightmare Before Xmas theme. Turn long waits into photo opportunities. Keep eyes open for hidden gems. At end sit on ends to see your passenger ghost best
Make sure you make a visit during Halloween thru January. You will not want to miss the "Nightmare before Christmas". For the 13th Anniversary they added some cool new things ;-) 2013
During the Nightmare Before XMas set up, take notice to Sandy Claws Naughty/Nice list. You'll notice Tim's (Tim Burton) name is the only name on the list that has a skull & crossbones next to it.
Hidden Mickey SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!..... As you enter the attic (the room with the bride after the ballroom) look in the lower half of the clock, it's a Hidden Mickey! Happy hunting!
Opened in 1969, this was one of Walt's favorite creations, though he never saw it completed. This Haunted Mansion has nine-hundred, ninety nine happy haunts, but there's always room for a thousand.
One of my favorite rides here in Disneyland! Unfortunately they were closed due to decorations going up for Halloween. They'll be up and running on 9/12 though!
I prefer to ride this attraction in the twilight hour or later. It's a much better attraction once your eyes have relaxed and adjusted from being blinded by the sun all day.
Great fun any time of year. Late September to early January you can enjoy the "Nightmare Before Christmas" version as well. Nice change up for the holidays!
The Disneyland resort adds a special twist to this classic attraction from early September to late December. This is the only Disney park in the world that features this twist.
If you're sitting on the left-hand side of the buggy more of the skeletons in the graveyard will pop out at you (3-4 during the total length of the ride).
The Nightmare Before Christmas version of this attraction during the holidays is not as spooky as the usual Haunted Mansion. Fun for Tim Burton fans, but sort of a letdown from the typical experience
Find the hidden "red"Mickey in the stained glass in the "elevator" when you walk in look to the 1:00 position of the room for the panel. Hmm this might be for holiday only I forget.
Every year for Haunted Mansion Holiday they make a different REAL gingerbread house. Early on in the Halloweentime season, you can still smell the fresh gingerbread when you enter the dining room
They turn the HM into the Nightmare Before Christmas from Sept until the end of the 1st week of Jan. This year (early 2012), the enhancements were spectacular!
When ur 1st escorted in2 the Grand Foyer tell the Cast Member that u want a "Death Certificate" & give them yr name or the name of a member of yr party. U get it @ the end, so cool!
