@Magic Feather presents... Gracey Estates
Gracey Estate is the new mini-land that encompasses The Haunted Mansion, and the brand new "Master Gracey's Swinging Wake". The fence that used to seperate the Haunted Mansion from Fantasyland has now grown out, all the way to Dumbo, and inside, a multitude of fenced of graves lie all around, surronding Ghoulish Delights, a snack cart, the new stone Haunted Mansion Entrance, and the gardener's shack that leads to "Master Gracey's Swinging Wake".
Using the small plot of land between Critter Country and the Haunted Mansion, guests will enter through a haunted greenhouse, and through the servants entrance into the masion, where you will travel down corridors to the parlor(s there are really two, so that as one loads, the other can be in the showbuilding.). Here, guests will board a Haunted Easy chair,
before they magically wind though a corridor into a massive ballroom, using LPS, trackless technology, where they can dance with other carts, and wander the ballroom to trigger effects such as the organ blowing steam. Similar yo the Heffalump scene in Hunny Hunt, other dancing ghosts dance atop their own LPS bases as they glide around you, allowing for a magnificent experience, and addition to Gracey Estates.
At Halloween and Christmas, the ballroom is decked out for a Halloween or Christmas Gala.

Gracey's Gardens
When the wealthy Master Gracey's wife died, he refused to accept it and travelled the world studying the paranormal and collecting artifacts in an attempt to bring her back.
Decades later, his mansion is now a rest home of sorts for 999 happy haunts and can be visited by the many guests here at Tokyo Disneyland.
Now, more of the Gracey property is available to visitors than ever before as the gates to the courtyard on the side of the house (with a lovely fountain in the center) are open, replacing the Wonderland Maze.
Through the courtyard, guests can access and walkthrough The Garden of Paranormal Wonders (similar to the garden of wonders in Hong kong, but more paranormal themed and interactive) to see the artifacts collected by Master Gracey, learn the sad tale of Master Gracey and his mansion, and visit the Garden Party to eat light snacks and tea while listening to classy live (well, dead) music from many eras.
Lastly, enter the side mansion entrance to enter the ballroom (a show building hidden behind the mansion) and board your Haunted Ballroom Buggy to dance along with (pepper's) ghosts inspired by the hauntingly beautiful dancing ghosts in the iconic dining room scene (the ride itself would be a spinner like the teacups, but the cars spin slower and bounce).
For Halloween, the garden's will host a "party" in the Garden Party area with a live (well dead) show hosted by the one and only Pumpkin King, Jack Skeleton, a meet and greet with Dr. Facilier, and trick or treat trails in the gardens themselves.
For Cristmas, the gardens are rethemed to tell the tale of the three most famous Chirstmas ghosts and the Christmas Eve they spent with Ebenezer Scrooge (So, a Christmas Carol from the ghost's perspective).

Lol, I just posted like the exact same idea even down to the name, I wrote it out last night and just copied and pasted it in. I might have to change some things since you beat me to it haha
Great minds think alike haha
I changed my name from Graceys Estate to Gracey Gardens and change my ride system for the ballroom ride to differentiate it.

It's retail the week before Black Friday, it's madness LOL. I usually used to think about these challenges and then come home and type them out just before the midnight deadlines LOL. Got home tonight at 10:30 and said oh well I guess I missed the 7 PM. But was glad to see the postponement and I will try to find time during the day tomorrow.

The Happy Haunting Grounds
Welcome foolish mortals to the new mini land centered around the beloved attraction, The Haunted Mansion, but this new expansion features 2 new eateries, a snack option, 2 new forms of entertainment, a gift shop, and several new details all centered around the story and characters of this ride.
As guests wander into this land, the Haunted Mansion stands proudly as the central focal point, but tombstone lined paths (with humorous epitaphs relating to the current residents of the old mansion) to either side of the mansion beckons guests to venture further, and should you need to rest your weary bones, please sit on some of the comfortable benches found along the way, but beware, you may hear restless spirits inviting you to stay (as a ghost of course).
The left path will lead first to Madame Leota's gypsy wagon, but this time (instead of a merchandise cart), this is a full scale replica where guests may wander in and experience the interactive features of the spooky dwelling and find clues of Leota's journey to the mansion, but guests who follow the path further will run into the Sea Captain's Shanty, a quick service eatery dedicated to legend of the sailor "lost" at sea.
The right path will take guests past the ice cream snack cart, There's Always Room For One More...I-Scream, before stumbling onto the Caretaker's Shack where if you catch him on his break, he will regale you with stories of the ghosts of the haunted mansion residents, and he has many different stories so guests will need to return many times to hear them all (while his dog whimpers in his dog house).
At the end of the path is Gracey's Grand Ballroom, a sit down restaurant designed as a replica of the ballroom scene, complete with ghostly footsteps on the ceiling, dueling portraits, spirited dancers, and organist playing an endless, haunting refrain, and after a hearty meal, guests can wander through The Museum of the Weird, a gift shop showcasing the interactive, haunted items of the supernatural while selling Haunted Mansion related merchandise.
For Halloween, this land seems to be continually covered in mist, and strange eerie noises (like a werewolf howling) echoes from the woods, and don't be surprised if you catch a glimpse of the headless horseman (just hang on to your head.)
During this spirited season, the ghosts from the Haunted Mansion will roam the land at night, interacting with guests and telling their stories (both humorous and chilling), but don't get too chummy with these spooks, because they are always searching for the 1,000th ghost.

Hunting Cottage
Issues with hunting is when the spirits leave the body in a cursed land they are stuck there forever, increasing the happy family of 999 to way beyond. To fit snugly thematically this land will be rustic western with the original flair of the Haunted Mansion. In the current location of the maze will be a walkthrough of an underground graveyard (similar to the scene in the phantom manor) though instead of human remains it is those of animals (from the exterior there is a . You are greeted by a decayed man pointing his rifle at a decayed bear who he never got the chance to shoot. The walkthrough will contain a narration on the horrid hobby of trophy hunting and the majestic feasts that were held at the haunted mansion in which wasted their corpses.
Holiday overlay : Since it is western themed Thanksgiving is a must. In the walkthrough, turkey squeals will be heard as well as the decayed man has a pilgrim hat. As well as the decayed bear is replaced by a decayed turkey. At the actual Hunting Cottage itself, there will be 3 turkeys hanging by their feet on a clothing line.

I like that its low-key, and the details like waterfalls would make it a real joy to spend time in that area. It would also be nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the park. My only concern with the whip ride is that there will be a Wreck it Ralph one in Tomorrowland, but that's minor. Also props for going first!

I like the victorian style, it would be a nicer transition point from Fantasyland to Critter Country. Also, a ride with a walkthrough half way through it would be awesome! I wish you would have gone into more detail, though but great foundational ideas!

The Graveyard
As an expansion of the Haunted Mansion area in Tokyo Disneyland - there will be a walk through experience in an expanded Haunted Mansion graveyard to the right of the attraction. In the walk through, you'll get an added spook and adventure as you essentially walk through the graveyard scene in the Haunted Mansion. You see Master Gracy's arboretum, which contains many old and died out plants from long ago. You can sit next to a grotto or other small canopies and enjoy a unique view in the park.
For Halloween, the area is decked out in decorations to celebrate the season.
like @michmousefan I like the low-key style, a pretty place to rest that helps further immerse you into the headliner: The Haunted Mansion. I like the expansion of Gracey's story too, and the name is great! Great job!

This is terrifyinglyTERRIFIC. Would it be proper for me to say that this seems like a cross between the Haunted Mansion and harry Potter?The Shadowlands
This new mini-land features a terrifying backstory in which a beautiful kingdom in medieval England suddenly vanished, and was replaced by this dark castle. All of the citizens of this castle. however, were found dead inside the dungeon, and a mysterious being called the Necromancer has been luring new victims in every day to add to his undead army growing inside the castle. The Haunted Mansion has been heavily updated to become The Haunted Castle during daytime hours, with incredible animatronics, beautifully dark scenes, and a new ride system (trackless). Ride the Mansion at night (9 pm onwards) and have a more terrifying experience, such as having cast members in heavy makeup jump into your "Doom Carriages." This new mini land also features a new table-service restaurant, which is set in a cemetery, replacing the Alice in Wonderland buffet, called "Dead Man's Feast."
For the month of Halloween, the dungeon of the castle opens for a scary walk through event.
I like it, I feel like the Castle would be a good transition point from Fantasyland. That table service though is creepy, but I feel like it would actually be pretty neat. I don't know the audience, as in what the Japanese would think of this darker take on the classic attraction, but I think since you mentioned after 9:00pm it would be cool. I know I would ride it, but there probably should be a minimum age requirement. Great job! BTW stalkers really do add to the scare level.
