We saw the Haunted Mansion queue! | Complete Tour via stand by

[@AquaOrBlade]

DAVID WE MUST SEE THIS AT NIGHT!!!!! with all the lighting

[@cherylbell327]

Now that is a STUNNING queue. The landscaping is absolutely gorgeous, the statues, the light fixtures, the music! The wrought iron detailing on the fences, everything. Absolutely stunning. Bravo Disney.

[@brianwisdom8051]

The safe looks like a Victorian era ship’s safe. Little nod to the old ship’s captain storyline in the early concept art for the Haunted Mansion. So many nods to the original storylines and Imagineers who made it possible. I think it’s even more beautiful at night and can’t wait until they finish the hillside with all the original tombstones!

[@Graphite42]

This is going to look even more gorgeous once the vegetation and trees have grown in.

[@GabeV12]

I love that the queue music seems dynamic and changes up the instruments depending on where in the queue you are. As much as I’m gonna miss the music box, I actually really like the new BGM.

[@Glitermagic]

I absolutely love the new que. The old will be missed for the nostalgia, but the new adds an extension to the magic that Mansion provides. I bet this will look spooky at dust and into the evening. Can't wait to see it at night!

[@gerin.6418]

Same here!!! 😁

[@MCastleberry1980]

I'm just glad so much of the original was preserved for this, while also expanding.

[@oaarbh]

as a gardener/horticulturist, this queue is STUNNING! i cant wait for the vines on the pergola/veranda to grow in and bloom. they are wisteria and will be ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS in the spring when they are covered in purple hanging blooms 😍😍😍 excellent nod to the old fastpass queue

[@MelanieBarkley]

As a wheelchair user I love when the line becomes accessible. You miss so much of the pre show when you skip the line. Haunted Mansion was definitely one of the more awkward lines for wheelchair users, so I’m glad they’ve improved it.

[@davidstrutt77]

Yeah, I’m gonna need an hour loop of that queue music in my life.

[@lmsarmiento]

OMG. Disney completely outdid itself with the queue. It looks absolutely amazing. I can't wait for my Peasant Pass to come back to form in January. Thank you for the video.

[@gerin.6418]

LOL! 😆 Peasant Pass!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@im_nic]

I knew the queue would look good, I'm blown away with how well it came together. They really took a page out of Rolly Crump's book, and just bought weird, eclectic little knick knacks to fill the space and add detail. Stellar work

[@thebluetarp]

I agree but some pieces look hobby lobby. Too small and cheap looking

[@elinamonian4342]

I love the changes. It’s like strolling through a lovely garden even though it’s a queue. Love all the details. Thanks David!😊

[@egulino]

The obsession with this queue is like the funniest, and weirdest, and best thing.

[@gerin.6418]

Agree 💯🤣

[@embeetoast2211]

Haha right??

[@ryan7032]

First a Kendrick Lamar album, then I get hired for a new job and now this just top off my week and it's only Tuesday!

[@a_cowwithlegs]

Kendrick fans are really winning rn

[@Rrusso92]

Congrats on the new job!

[@ryan7032]

​@@Rrusso92 Thank you!

[@BingChilling-hr1hh]

Drake is sussy

[@gerin.6418]

Awesome comment! 😉

[@nightknight6845]

How the imagineers are able to visualize and make use of limited space is simply brilliant. This queue already looks and feels like it has been part of the attraction since day 1. Bravo to all involved.

[@mcc309_7]

Also the "museum of the weird" vibe really came through and that's beautiful. 😅

[@GuyNamedRy]

I think the safe is a nod to the first haunted mansion!!! where the butler hid the love letters to the owner of the mansion!!!

[@salgallucci6403]

Plus it would make a great place to hide irrigation controls! Or Fountain!

[@rochestas]

That queue really is gorgeous!

[@Eggman4444]

🧑‍🍳💋!!!!! Absolutely beyond fenomenal!!! I was in tears watching you walk through the queue! I am very thankful that you Fresh Baked were the first one to show me around and not just once!! Thank you also for all your precise construction updates along the way too! Disney did an insane job here and it magnifies the queue visually and audibly by 1000 fold!!

[@deaconronchristolear5849]

I have to say as someone who finds change very difficult, I am really impressed with what Disney imagers did with his queue. It’s not just plus, it’s Megaplex. I do have to say that I don’t care for this particular music during the Christmas season. It would be great for the regular part of the year. It reminds me a lot of the music for Disney World’s haunted mansion, but I can live with it. Thanks for taking the time to show us the queue twice.

[@itzjoshh93]

18:36 They definitely seemed to have pushed out the entrance from its original spot. A good reference point is that huge tree that they’ve kept that’s to the left as you enter the HM entrance. If you look back at old videos you can see that the tree used to be much farther away the main entrance.

[@peterharris8471]

First thing I did this morning was check and see if you had to get in a virtual queue for HM. STAND BY IS OPEN! 😁 Thanks for the tour, Fresh Baked!

[@ryan7032]

Not gonna lie, I'm convinced everyone excited for this checked the app as soon as the park opened. I'm not even near the park and I checked it.

[@AbandonedMines11]

Very cool seeing the new queue! Once all that ivy grows up and all over the walls, it’ll look even better.

[@HollyMarie72]

David I wanna see this queue at night! I bet it’s gunna be freaking amazing at night with lights!!!! I hope the orbs light up!!

[@cosmicql]

Was in the parks for the first time in 5 years last week! Thanks to your tips we got everything done and didn’t wait longer than 40 minutes for any ride! 😊

[@ladypufie]

What a beautiful standby line! The music is perfect!! Thanks so much for uploading this!!

[@Golden_Embers]

New Que looks incredible! I just hope they add more Haunted Mansion Holiday decorations next year in the new que area. Otherwise it won't feel as connected to the theme.

[@Hye_Bruin]

It's even better at night with all the lights!

[@nf1nk]

Get a screen shot on Google maps now of the old queue so on the next mapping pass you can do a good side by side. This was a great video.

[@Cigsnvalentines]

The music has me melting omg, all the ways it changes as you move through the queue…literally perfect

[@CornellCrits]

It is an amazing new queue, but still reminds me so much of the gardens in Winchester Mystery House when I worked there during Fright Nights. Well done Disney on a beautiful update.

[@chericrabbypelley]

That new queue music is delightful! I'm so excited to see this in a week. I actually want to wait in a line 😂

[@AimeeML]

We will be there too!

[@suaveclt]

Disney has made a lot of mistakes recently but this and the tree house are both amazing

[@courtneyedwards9124]

And Toontown!

[@red600]

I bet it looks even better at night

[@MrFrankd1962]

The lattice work near the table & safe gives off the vibe of the endless corridor in the Manison.

[@iamcarsontaylorvideos]

You’ve been THE ONLY CHANNEL covering this weekly. Very thankful for your coverage! 🎉

[@wesl8787]

Great Job Freshbaked!!! I am ready to see what the new que looks like tonight. I think the Disney Imagineers got the que perfect. It feels so original. It was nice seeing you today!!! Freshbaked!!!!

[@peterharris8471]

Ohh look at the lanterns in the tree! Can't wait to see the garden at night! Bet it's freaking amazing!

[@gerin.6418]

Yes! Can't wait!!! 😁

[@johnhinojos1907]

Love the queue. Disneyland did an amazing job. I have no issue with the style of the gift shop as it looks like either the kitchen or a carriage house for the plantation. It would not have the ornamentation of the main house.

[@1rhpsfan]

I noticed a couple of things not seen in Disneyland's Mansion before, referencing the Manors, 4:38 Monkey King Statue, (Mystic Manor) and in the concept artwork for the Gift Shop, 23:13 on a table next to a chair in the back behind two Candle Wax Men figurines is what looks like a bust of Henry Ravenswood. (The Phantom of Phantom Manor)

[@michaelsullivan3581]

The new queue is fabulous! It is luxurious and oh so haunted! At night it is gonna get spooky! Such a brilliant job! And... why IS that safe there? A locked entrance to another one of Laffite's tunnels? Oh, the mystery!

[@ginamonsen4792]

Got to see David today walking up Main Street!! My husband noticed him right away. Was pretty cool! Fresh bakkkkkkedddd!

[@terri_blueberri]

How badly do I want to sit and have tea in that gazebo area😅

[@GeriMars]

@@terri_blueberri I was thinking the same thing and am taking notes for my garden. 😊

[@tom_reagan]

Your sincere enthusiasm is second to none, David. We appreciate you. 😊

[@gerin.6418]

The HM giftshop is definitely Home Depot/ she-shed-ish looking, but it's definitely a nod to Walt's Carolwood Barn at Griffith Park. The original has the same architecture, yet it's painted a reddish-brown barn color... it's too bad they couldn't have painted it exactly the same, it would have fit in perfectly with Critter Country! 😉 LOL! 😂

[@pinbot76]

An upgrade I suppose, but it gives off Mediterranean/Italian vibes. Minus some gothic statuary, I feel like I’m walking into an Olive Garden.

[@johnmckinney692]

Thanks for your help David ….. you work hard for us …. Appreciate ya !!!!! 🎄🎅🤶

[@GuitarGuyAl]

They did an amazing job. I can't wait to see how they light it up at night.

[@MatecaCorp]

I am very impressed with the queue, and the new music is so good!. The mausoleum in particular greatly exceeded my expectations. The style of detail is very similar to the treehouse, which makes me wonder if they have a team of Imagineers that solely works on Disneyland exclusive projects.

[@bvh94117]

imagine if they let this a+ talent update tomorrowland

[@a1m4thah3d]

I love the names on the mausoleum! I.L. Beback, G. I. Miss You, Theo Later, Ray N. Carnation. Great stuff :D

[@kellscrawford9076]

Packing for my Thanksgiving trip to Disneyland tomorrow while watching this is **chefs kiss** perfection😎

[@srayj]

I love that it looks like it has been there the whole time, just seamlessly blending with the Mansion. Very exciting! I don’t remember if the queue used to go into the walkway as badly as Pirates always does, but either way, this should definitely help with crowd management.

[@matthewpoole7362]

You are going to have to ride it again to see the globes and how cool it's going to look at night

[@NicholasBergerson-dm1dq]

Excited to see it during the Night Time!

[@jacksonkamikaze5977]

It's beautiful

[@DisneyParksMusic.]

So happy and in love with the new queue from what I saw so far in the video, it looks absolutely amazing!!! I’m just sad I was right when I told everybody that Disney was lying when they said when Haunted Mansion Holiday reopened Stand-By Pirates of the Caribbean would lose its Lightning Lane and ofc they haven’t done that and they probably never will. 😢

[@VanOaksProps]

They definitely pushed the front gate further out to allow for the new queue line to be accessible within the redesigned footprint of the ride. The overflow to the left of the entrance used to be the queue outside the ride.

[@DrStarlander]

Great job Disney! A lot of people don't go to Disney Parks because "THE AWFUL LINES." But if you make the lines -- queues -- thematic and intriguing and atmospheric, it makes standing in line all day sooooo much better (and makes guests want to come back!). It is money well spent. Imagine what a richly detailed and thematic Space Mountain queue could be like in the upper plaza and Starcade, or a prop and S.E.A. backstory-filled chalet-themed queue for Matterhorn, or a Pirates of the Caribbean queue that takes us up into Redd's apartment (in the 21 Royal space) where we see her treasures and artifacts and where she is writing her memoirs of a life at sea. Immersive queues are a great investment that pay off with decades of happy guests...and they get crowds out of the walkways, making the park *feel* less crowded (the "crowded feeling" being another reason some guests don't want to visit Disney Parks).

[@loosebacontrails666]

Freshbaaaaaked!!! Thank you, awesome video as usual, the queue looks amazing! Can’t wait to see in person soon, cheers Happy Holidaze everyone!

[@rexnewcombe8337]

David this is so much better and exciting than WDWs Haunted Mansion. All the new things that they have added. ❤

[@ericgerds3980]

Great reporting. It does look great. I can't wait until we see it at night.

[@PhoenixVic21]

I like how the new que feels very wondering through the grounds. The music gives that creepy vibe while also showcasing that famous tune. 4:00 11:00 I love this look of the extended hallway in the gazebo! 22:55 now that looks like a cool shop! Definetly need to see the new que at night!

[@tim.kaiser_aka_timmaay]

Oh wow, it looks amazing! Awesome job Imagineers and crew!

[@akydo7070]

to bad the imagineers ruined splash with Tiana and Rivers america with off road dirt track cars ride and horrible star wars Hotel

[@parkerpowers2841]

Amazing. Absolutely amazing. Love to see it, Fresh Baked!

[@julieclarke621]

Hi David…. Am absolutely loving your day!!… yes, we are all sooo back!… Thank you for your speedy posting…🎉❤

[@lilliessunshine4993]

It looked very plain from the outside but there is so much interesting detail inside. Well done! There's lots of neat statuary to look at. The plants are exquisite. Plus, the music really sets the mood.

[@TWAAAAACKS]

Disney nailed it!! Love this queue!!

[@karenjones6135]

Disney did a fantastic job. The music is great and the ambiance is perfect. It will be interesting to see it at night!

[@patrickperalta59]

I saw a youtube video of the Phantom Manor in Disneyland Paris....the music , story, and how it looks is great...plus the story is not just the Manor but the land surounding the Manor at the park.......I love the Phantom Manor. I grew up with the Haunted Mansion and love it but the Phantom Manor is my favorite. the narrator at Phantom Manor is Vincent Price my favorite horror actor.

[@Lemoncoder103]

My best guess is that the safe is for a fire hose, it looks about the same size as one of those boxes you’d see in an apartment. The placement would make sense if it would be for the queue or perhaps the train station nearby?

[@datakechi]

Can only imagine it at night. I would deliberately set up for night time queuing just to check it out.

[@gerardogonzalez8705]

Wow that queue is amazing!!! Can't wait to see it in person when we go in December. Thanks again for another great video Fresh Baked!

[@CartersOutings]

Thanks so much for taking us on this journey through the queue transformation of the Haunted Mansion, Dave! I'm so excited to be taken through it with you as it opens.

[@Heyzamboniguy]

This is a home run. It looks like it's always been there

[@raphaelmarquez9650]

The background music for the new queue does kind of ruin the overall anticipation of getting inside the mansion because now there's no false sense of security for new guests before hearing that foyer music for the first time.

[@BertL1]

Thanks for the preview - I can’t wait to be there in person in a couple weeks. I’d also LOVE to see the queue at night in the dark. Disney always does such a great job with their lighting, I suspect this new queue may be pretty special and almost worth the wait to see the environment around the next corner.

[@dragonfaery71]

I love how you filmed everything. Now we need a night shot of everything . Maybe even side by side.

[@HauntinMatthew1969]

So excited to see the queue in person soon!!

[@WWatch48]

The old standby line went all over the place (going to the front, going to the back, going back and forth); This appears to be functionally better in that aspect by far, and I like that there are more things to look at while waiting. It is definitely an improvement.

[@anthonypecorara]

The plaque at 5:29 isn’t Madame Leota, it’s actually Medusa. It’s a fairly common way that she’s presented in Italy and even in the Sicilian flag like that.

[@eddieg6436]

…..and Versace logo.

[@davidbartholomew7812]

This is not a queue, it is a walk through attraction on its own!😊

[@rebeccaheuer3255]

I've been skipping videos on tiktok and waiting for this upload. 😊

[@lamartya.4042]

Very nice. Disney did a nice job on this queue. I would like to see how the ADA works, but looks good. Also, nice job David, on getting this out before your vacation. And I do hope you 3 have an enjoyable time away. Happy Thanksgiving, to you three, and all your viewers.

[@josh__mclendon]

This queue is seriously good taste. It doesn't have any cartoony gimmicks like its sibling in Florida. It feels like it is just the right amount of mysterious. I'm curious if the mansion will have anything new come January.

[@FreshBakedDisney]

agree. don't like those interactive gizmos.

[@marksmall7790]

Oh boy!!! This is exciting for my upcoming visit that the queue is open. Fingers crossed that Big Thunder will be opening earlier than what they have, I want more than maybe one day to ride it

[@MikePhillips-wc9po]

Imagine how amazing its going to be at night...

[@jamesmcmann2719]

I was hoping that there would be more interactive elements in the line similar to the ones in the Magic Kingdom.

[@kelsmister]

Beautiful.. I just hope maybe put some shade over those slats? Like.. seems an obvious give guests some cover from the cali sun.

[@The_Disney_Doll]

Magic Bands have to be used with all these new elements in the queue I’m betting! They would be fools not to have incorporated that into the new area!

[@candlelady3313]

You would think, it’s a great opportunity…I hope they didn’t miss it!

[@TheParkLarkPrivate]

Awesome first look, David! You’ll need to go back after dark to report on new queue lighting and effects!

[@ALBBproductions]

what a goregous queue! as much as I love the holiday overlay, I can't wait for the full experience with the new queue going straight into the OG haunted mansion!

[@cathyweiss6944]

So beautiful! Thank you for this from all of us who live just a bit too far away to pop on over. You are appreciated!

[@JeanetteBarnard-st9uy]

I love seeing your reactions and your smiling face in this video. David you are very talented at what you do! Thank you 🌟😍✋🏻

[@BernardManansala]

Is it just me or it looks too clean and new. Throw some dirt on the walls. Greenery will grow in though.

[@morganbailey7920]

Are we sure the first area is for Master Gracie? The area with the book, mermaid, and the safe with the lighthouse.There is too much nautical imagery so it leads me to believe that section is for Captain Gore.

[@dkk922]

omg how fabulous! i was worried with that oversized gift shop but they really did a good job on the new que!

[@farfromdeathstar]

looks great! i was hoping they would add some weathering to the walls, looks a little too clean but hopefully it gets like that by aging

[@thaakiidty]

They knocked this outta the park! 12/10! Excellent work Disney! ❤

[@GeriMars]

If the figure you ID'd as Madam Leota has snakes, it's probably Medusa.

[@FreshBakedDisney]

yes its sounding like i've mis identified her.

[@eddieg6436]

Used as the Versace Logo (Medusa head, with Greek key surround). …..I wonder if they’ll sue??

[@GeriMars]

@@eddieg6436 I doubt it. Versace didn't invent the figure. Medusa is Greek mythology's most famous Gorgon. There were two others: Medusa's sisters Euryale and Stheno.

[@eddieg6436]

@ yes, OF COURSE Versace didn’t invent the Medusa. But the way she’s in the middle of the circle that’s surrounded by a Greek key……it’s EXACTLY the Versace logo!! 🤷🏼‍♂️😀

[@GeriMars]

@@eddieg6436 The last time I checked, Disney wasn't selling Versace-knockoff queue walls.
