construction of an expanded reimagined queue and will reopen as Haunted Mansion holiday this fall when the standard attraction experience returns in 2025 though the hanging corpse in the stretching room may be covered Disney has considered removing the hanging corpse from The Haunted Mansion for several years due to the sensitivity surrounding suicide in 2023 almost all noes were removed from Phantom Manor the Disneyland Paris version of Haunted Mansion a few years ago The Haunted Mansion at Disneyland was refurbished during its 16-month long closure due to covid-19 imaginer Michelle Hobbs managed the refurbishment and did say that removing the hanging corpse had been discussed and was definitely something we were thinking about according to our sources Disney is still undecided about the hanging corpse if you don’t recall the exact context of the scene the corpse is implied to be that of the ghost host and the stretching room the disembodied voice welcomes guests to the mansion He points out that there are no windows and no doors leaving guests to f way out he then says of course there’s always my way the hanging corpse is then revealed by bolts of lightning through a scrim in the ceiling on haunted mention holiday the ceiling is covered with a tarp and projections purportedly the tarp May remain up for the standard version of the ride when it returns uh we’ll see the other major change likely coming to the ride is at the end as previously rumored the hitchhiking ghosts who appear in the guest ride Vehicles will potentially be updated to the same effect as the Walt Disney World version of the ride currently the ghosts are projected into the Doom buggies thanks to the peppers ghost effect in short there are real audio animatronics to the ghost moving on the other side of the mirror and well-placed lights make their Reflections appear the same effect of course is used in The mansion’s Ballroom in 201 the Walt Disney World version of Haunted Mansion changed this effect to a CGI projection so the ghost Reflections can move all around the scene in addition a new bride and new scene will also reportedly be added to the attic portion of the ride for Haunted Mansion holiday at Disneyland the hitchhiking ghosts are replaced with gifts from Oogie Boogie but the peppers ghost effect is the same these rumors are not confirmed and Disneyland’s plans can always change so while we think this is probably going to happen can always change at the last minute here’s a hot scoop for you the magic happens parade at Disneyland Park may have its 2024 season cut short amidst cost cutting entertainment cancellations throughout the resort the rumored end date for the parade is August 22nd a short Cavalcade of characters would then perform daily before a Christmas fantasy parade returns for the holiday season on November 15th earlier this summer Club Pixar performances were cancelled two months before the end of Pixar Fest in Avengers campus Dr Strange Mysteries of the Mystic Arts closed at the end of June Disneyland later confirmed they were limiting performances of Warriors of wakanda the disciplines of the DOR malaj and citizens of buav Vista Street Avengers assemble and Guardians of the Galaxy awesome dance off also have performances scheduled on only select days of the week now so a lot of scaling back going on there with the opening of Fantasy Springs Tokyo Disney C added another in Park Hotel according to the story of Fantasy Springs a duchess who discovered the land constructed the Tokyo Disney sea Fantasy Springs hotel as a palace for herself and her friends well the hotel has a dedicated entrance into the new land and is home to Fantasy Springs gifts there are two wings of this hotel the more expensive Grand Chateau has
