Haunted Mansion Holiday at the Disneyland Resort: A closer look, just for fans.

October 13, 2012 in All Posts by Babes in Disneyland

One of the biggest draws to the Disneyland Resort this time of year is Haunted Mansion Holiday. In mid September each year, the Haunted Mansion goes through a big transformation when the residents of Halloween Town take up residence and the magic and whimsy of Tim Burton’s Nightmare Before Christmas comes to life (or death…) in New Orleans Square.

The bright colors and highly-stylized decor of the Nightmare Before Christmas takes over every aspect and angle of the attraction from the inside out.

I recently had a chance to interview Jack Skellington himself and Brian Sandal the senior art director for the Disneyland Resort and learned some exciting news about next year’s Haunted Mansion Holiday and Jack Skellington’s take on moving into the Haunted Mansion each year. 

  
As mentioned in the interview, one of the highlights of Haunted Mansion Holiday is the gingerbread house, as mentioned in the video. It is a major undertaking for Resort Cast Members and a sweet surprise for guests. The surprise is so incredibly sweet, that guests can smell the gingerbread all the way in their Doom Buggies! Learn all about the annual gingerbread house process in this video.




Although this interview was shot two years ago, the process is still the same and it is pretty incredible to see all of the detail and hard work that goes into bringing the Haunted Mansion Holiday gingerbread house “to life.”

And don’t forget, unlike the rest of the Halloween decorations at the Disneyland Resort, the Haunted Mansion Holiday continues through the holiday season until early January!

    That was an interesting nugget of information about next year being the 13th edition of the attraction. It seems like a great excuse for them to add some new bells and whistles to this overlay.
