What happens when holidays collide? Guests are going to find out the fun way, when Disneyland introduces its quirky "Haunted Mansion Holiday" attraction. The Haunted Mansion Holiday headlines this year’s holiday celebration at Disneyland. The new attraction opens October 5 and continues operating throughout the annual transformation of Disneyland into the "Merriest Place On Earth."
In a well-intentioned attempt to celebrate the Christmas season, Jack Skellington from the film Tim Burton’s Nightmare Before Christmas will descend upon the world-famous Haunted Mansion attraction to bring his vision of the holidays to life. A unique Holiday overdressing of the Haunted Mansion will take place, complete with hilarious gags and playful twists upon the original Haunted Mansion storyline.
Jack Skellington, donning his holiday "Sandy Claws" outfit, will set the stage by welcoming guests to a Haunted Mansion now decorated with stalks of hay in the shapes of Christmas trees, a coffin sleigh, a spider webbed countdown clock reading "0 days ‘til Christmas," and hundreds of flickering candles along the mansion’s rooftop.
Inside, the fun begins in earnest as guests enter the familiar "stretching" room of the Haunted Mansion, only to find it decorated for Christmas. New holiday paintings adorn the walls, but later stretch to become hilarious images of Halloween Town’s vision of Christmas.
Guests will board the attraction’s "Doom Buggies" and be treated to a fun-filled tour of the mansion’s many rooms, all decorated for Christmas by Jack and his dog Zero. But as one can expect, when Halloween celebrates Christmas, there might be some flaws.
Sharp-eyed Disney fans will find some notable twists to their favorite attraction: Madam Leota will deliver a chilling new holiday greeting from the séance room, and the famous ballroom scene will be transformed into the ultimate Christmas Ball, decorated with bizarre images and strange Christmas toys inspired by Jack’s creative mind. Even the final scene through the mansion’s graveyard will look strangely familiar -- except now it will be covered in ghostly white snow, where playful ghosts are making their own unique Christmas trees.
The sound track throughout the attraction will also be completely changed, encouraging guests to scream along on cue. The extensive transformation leaves no gravestone unturned, with scores of surprises and two new Audio-Animatronic® figures, thus creating a one-of-kind experience for the 2001 holiday season.
