I just love the Haunted Mansion. It debuted at Disneyland in 1969 and has been a fan favorite at Disney World for over 50 years since the park’s opening.
It is just so creative and well done. No matter how many times you ride, you’ll notice something new. It’s not simply a ride, it tells a story- many stories of the 999 happy haunts who live there. Don’t forget to get a magic shot done by a photographer or use a special filter if you purchase Genie+!
Fun Fact: Madame Leota, the fortune teller in the crystal ball, was voiced by Eleanor Audley, the same actress who voiced Lady Tremaine and Maleficent. Her image is based on the likeness of imagineer Leota Toombs, whose daughter continues to work as an imagineer at Disneyland. And coming this year to - the long awaited arrival of the iconic Hatbox Ghost!
