The ride
Haunted Mansion is a slow dark ride through a house of ghosts in Liberty Square, more funny than frightening.
The story
An unseen Ghost Host welcomes you to a house with 999 happy haunts and room for one more. After the stretching room, a Doom Buggy carries you through the library, the music room and an endless staircase. Madame Leota summons spirits from her crystal ball, ghosts throw a party in the ballroom, and in the attic you meet Constance Hatchaway, a bride who has outlived every husband. It ends in a singing graveyard, where three hitchhiking ghosts try to follow you home.
History
It opened with Magic Kingdom on October 1, 1971, two years after Disneyland's original. Marc Davis, Claude Coats, X Atencio, Yale Gracey and Rolly Crump were among its Imagineers, and Paul Frees voices the Ghost Host. Florida's version added scenes Disneyland lacks, including the library and music room. It has since gained the Endless Staircase (2007), an interactive queue (2011) and the Hatbox Ghost (2023), a figure cut from the original in 1969.
Good to know
- No height requirement. The scares are gentle and played for laughs.
- You board from a moving walkway; cast members can slow or stop it for anyone who needs more time.
- The hands-on crypts, including a musical tomb and a sneezing sea captain, are in the standby queue.
Look for
- The tombstones out front honor Imagineers who built the ride.
- The Hatbox Ghost, near the Endless Hallway, more than 50 years after his first appearance at Disneyland.
