Disney previously confirmed Haunted Mansion Holiday would return this Halloween season. According to the calendar on the attraction’s webpage, the ride will be closed beginning on Saturday, August 9, 2025. While this closure has not been confirmed to be for the holiday overlay, the timeframe for the switch lines up.

Haunted Mansion 2025 Reopening

The ride is scheduled to reopen as Haunted Mansion Holiday on August 22, which will be open through January 7, 2026. In 2024, the holiday overlay reopened early — in July — because the ride had been closed since the previous holiday season. In years before, the holiday overlay opened around September 1.

Haunted Mansion 2024 Closure

During its 2024 closure, the classic attraction received updated grounds, an ADA-accessible elevator, and Madame Leota’s Somewhere Beyond gift shop. When the regular version of The Haunted Mansion returned in January 2025, it debuted a new version of the Bride.

Haunted Mansion The Nightmare Before Christmas Holiday Overlay

Haunted Mansion Holiday, featuring “The Nightmare Before Christmas” characters and decorations, is up annually through Halloween and Christmas. Though the overlay is approximately the same every year, it always features a new, unique gingerbread display in the ballroom scene. Watch our video of last year’s overlay:
