I'm glad this is finally happening, but the dates stink! I'll should be there from June 23-30. I know the Mansion needs the refurb, but you think they'd do it in the off-season? (Don't get me wrong, I'm glad its finally confirmed.)

Based on crowd flow over the past couple of years I can tell you that there really is no off season anymore, just a few slow weeks here and there. They would affect crowds no matter when they close it. However is 3 months long enough to do all that needs to be done, Small World was down longer than that and it wasn't in as near bad a shape as the mansion at least as far as the guests knew.

Anyone know if the completion date could fluctuate? What I am trying to say is, could they have a built-in week of extra time and actually open it a bit earlier?
Reason I ask is that we will be leaving two days before the scheduled reopening date and we have two first-timers along.

Small World had to have the ceiling removed and rebuilt. Asbestos.

At this moment (3:18 central time, March 8th) the official website states that it will be down from June 6-June30th. Is this the first phase?

:lol:
What he said. :wave:
Although... If they're really going to do this new catacomb gift shop thing (which I could definitely do without), you'd think 3 months isn't enough time. So either:
1. That's not really part of the plan, OR...
2. They'll just wall that part off and finish it after the HM is back open.
Either way, thank HEAVEN it's finally announced.
So....... Should I start the debate on the "ring" now, or leave that be? :lookaroun :lol:

It's closed beyond that. If you're looking in the operational updates section, change the month you're looking at to July and it shows it closed from the 1st through the 31st. Change it to August, etc...

Ok. Thanks for the help. Guess we'll miss it.
Just have to go back in October.

Just how much of Haunted Mansion is not working, exactly?
Keep in mind that we do a lot of preventative work to ensure that things run smoothly. Just becasue an attraction is scheduled for refurb doesn't mean things are broken.

Thats true, but the Mansion has not been running smoothly for a while now.

I realize that, but a lot of you are really excited about this refurbishment, so there must be a lot of noticable things that need refurbishment, but I haven't noticed too much other than the sound quality. Is there more?
