I think they pretty much confirmed the removal of the practival hitchhiking ghosts like reported. Look at the fade in at the start and theres a scrolling line on the ? coffin. Rip

[@ItzAdrian02]

Also they tilt back and forth, they never did that

[@maxickingdom]

@@AmusementLabs 😭😢

[@FunInfinite126]

Where

[@maxickingdom]

@@FunInfinite126 At the end of the ride when you face the first mirror as you enter the Hitchhiking Ghost scene. During the holidays they have presents in place of the ghosts.

[@MrAaronVenn]

Yeah that's gross. What's next? Replacing the Ballroom with a Universal style screen instead of actual illusions? Boo-urns

[@sarayasage]

Seeing Zero above the Christmas Tree in the ballroom scene always makes me smile 😊

[@irisc1021]

They really heard Christmas in july and went with it

[@skellington15]

"Where'd you get that mistletoe? It's July!"

HAUNTED MANSION HOLIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ThemeParkFullestYT]

The gingerbread house this year looks AMAZING!

[@funnyvideostv8461]

It’s actually a Frankenstein gingerbread display the coolest one they have this year

[@ThemeParkFullestYT]

@@funnyvideostv8461 Ah yes, mb

[@sarayasage]

It really is, i'm so blown away!

[@midnightgirlofthelunarmoon1164]

I believe they were honoring Dr. Finklestien.

[@kidpoison9293]

Well at least the dangling corps can still be seen in the Haunted Mansion holiday

[@ItzAdrian02]

For now

[@jeontaekook1594]

Haha I never noticed that, I think they used the original video bc the graphics still look the same, nothing abt it changed just the surroundings

[@ItzAdrian02]

For those saying its too early, disney didnt have a choice as (They kept the interior decorations up after the holidays) and with -Itself -Tiana's -Pooh -All of Critter country Is closed Eventually space mountain closing on August 5th . They needed to open early as too much wss closed at disneyland

[@DisneyFan-eg3oz]

That’s true, I still don’t understand why so much is permanently closed in tomorrowland Any idea why?

[@ItzAdrian02]

@DisneyFan-eg3oz disney doesnt know what to do with tomorrowland ciz fear of accident having a 98' failure again and trying to make a tomorrowland that can last for plenty of decades without changing it

[@jeontaekook1594]

0:36 the music box in the queue is one of the main reasons i love the haunted mansion! I'm so glad to hear it again!

[@goo83]

the attic is pretty different! I think the old pop up ghost mechanisms are totally defunct and they've stopped using them for the pumpkin, skeleton and cat pop ups 😢

[@johnversoza9358]

Happy Christmas in July 2024!

[@franciscoalvarez5466]

Did anyone noticed the bat in the birdcage return at this spot 7:13

[@iamcarsontaylorvideos]

Great eye! I didn’t even see that. I wonder if it’s only for Holiday or if it’s staying in that spot.

[@VampyrEquinox25]

Omg I was wondering where it went! Lol I'm glad they put it back i love that decoration 🦇

[@ajs7883]

7:15 ITS THE BAT CAGE!

[@Anthony-go3er]

The seance room is my favorite part of the Manson I just love Adamek leotia floating

[@joeymatus]

9:37 I noticed rolly’s candle man a few moments before this time

[@dannyfain3961]

Wym?

[@VampyrEquinox25]

​@@dannyfain3961There's a tribute to an imagineer who worked on the haunted mansion. His name is Rolly Crump and he had an idea of a candle wax man to be put in the haunted mansion when it was originally gonna be a "house of weird" or something like that lol. After his passing they added a tiny version of the candle wax man in the attic scene. I think it's at 9:20

[@maxickingdom]

09:29 Looks like both Jangles and Krusty the Clown made it on the Jack-in-the-Box designs! Clearly the most notable changes in the attic- they moved the snake to the left side and now there's a portrait of Jack Skellington where the snake used to be. Also, I don't think we saw a Jack-in-the-box actually based off Jack Skellington. The two pop-ups were also moved to the end and don't pop up anymore, which I don't quite understand.

[@ItzAdrian02]

I fond it interesting, the portrait of Jack was on tje left where tje bride was and now itd on the right... and in Tokyo the bride is on the right side like the old one was as well

[@fifthrider]

Good eye. I wouldn't have noticed the Krusty if you hadn't have mentioned that. Thank you.

[@maxickingdom]

@@fifthrider Thank you! Great video quality too which helps :)

[@W1ldestride]

It’s crazy that the first piece of Simpsons representation in a Disney park is krusty of all characters and it’s in the haunted mansion

[@maxickingdom]

@@W1ldestride Right!?

[@jolliwoodstudios]

look i totally get why they reopened it kinda early this year. and it looks great! but DAMN is it still jarring to have a CHRISTMAS ride in OCTOBER

[@kentslocum]

It's actually a Christmas ride in JULY! 😅

[@ascallednobody]

If they opened it with haunted mansion it would only be on for like 2 months then they'll need to turn it into haunted mansion holiday again

[@rmannayr2129]

WOW THEY RELEASED IT SO EARLY THIS YEAR!

[@marcuscheng2507]

Happy Opening Day Haunted Mansion Holiday!! I’ll be there on September 9th!

[@mr.diznoid1955]

Dude, a lot has changed on the outside! WOW!

[@iamcarsontaylorvideos]

Kinda very bummed they didn’t do anything to the doombuggie loading area. For the Holiday overlay it’s fine but when it comes back and it’s just blue light being projected on a dirty black wall, as a fan it’s disappointing.

[@Michaelwapnerthedrummer]

oh man the shortened the queue a whole lot nice to know now you can just literally walk up the the front of the house.

[@ethanshackleton]

They’re building a new extended queue right next to it, currently it’s virtual queue only which is why there’s no physical queue.

[@710moose8]

God I wish they did this for Disney world so impressive for an overlay!!

[@Sorcerhoot]

This is just like phinese and ferb Christmas and October in July

[@user-dz2fm5ro2v]

Merry Christmas in July!

[@charliemacsart]

4:15 The Hanging Man can still be seen, maybe they won't remove him after all?

[@VampyrEquinox25]

Omg I never realized that he was still in the holiday version

[@Happyhottle]

One of my favorite rides and movies when I fist whent on this ride as little girl It was my first time at Disney but I loved the nightmare before Christmas

[@steventuscano9233]

9:29 - Spotted in the Boxes it's Jangles (Inside Out) and Krusty the Clown (The Simpsons)

[@LauriCarlson-ld9gq]

Happy reopening day of haunted mansion holiday

[@cayayossimi1191]

I can’t believe they actually switched the Exit Crypt mirror effect to be a screen after all☹️ That was the one rumour I was really hoping to not be true.Loving the others alterations though.🎃

[@B4ttery_acid37]

I went on this ride the same day you did but at night, but i started crying because of all the people touching and bumping into me trying to get into the line.(it was during the water show and a ton of people were walking in the same spot) it was extremely stressful but i ended up having the best time ever, i even have a recording and you can hear me sniffing 😭🙏

[@DS-pe8tt]

Yahoo! Does this mean that anybody who starting their day at DCA has to wait till the 12 PM virtual queue to join it? I assume that the 7 AM is not allowed because they won’t let you park hop until 11 AM so you wouldn’t be allowed to park off if your virtual queue gets called before 11 AM.

[@christopherwynn727]

Happy 23rd Anniversary Haunted Mansion Holiday 🎄🎃

[@Areekurou]

It looks like they finally gave the holiday decorations the TLC they needed. My mom and I go see the overlay every year and we’ve noticed that the decor has been pretty run down in recent years. Everything looks like it did years ago so I’m happy about that!

[@LaurenluvtoonZ]

It means the spooky season is here early!

[@HauntinMatthew1969]

I’m so happy it’s back!!

[@moirad3895]

So they covered the bride. Are they working on her?! A new bride rumor?!

[@Erinisawsome12]

They might be updating her

[@bcb_2024]

they are

[@ascallednobody]

​@@Erinisawsome12it's pretty much confirmed most likely the bride will be covered like this every haunted mansion holiday unless they decorate her

[@Erinisawsome12]

@@ascallednobody huh good to know I never knew that until now

[@JoshuaOrro-MustangPrinceOR-YTB]

I hope she still has a hatchet

[@SlushysSecret]

Sorta early but I guess I’m glad to see the mansion back again

[@saffiregoat6432]

So exciting!!! It’s crazy to think we get haunted mansion holiday for 5 months! It’s my favorite

[@matthewhahn1132]

Welcome back too

[@theterrarian404]

I didn't expect Haunted Mansion Holiday to open this year.

[@bazeelle_playsroblox]

YES ITS OPEN

[@themaxcollective]

it is literally July

[@jdolaktv]

It LITERALLY closed with the overlay still on. Doesn't make sense to take it all down, just to shut the ride down again in a couple of weeks to reset it for Halloweentime.

[@breenotcheese746]

was just wondering if they would do this this year

[@kathleenbeachmaui]

Thanks for the video!

[@davidgerhardt5324]

Screen at the top of the elevator makes it look so flat the depth of the illusion is gone

[@mikakini]

13:13 minutes long video! genius editing again! 👏 bravo

[@cotyhoepfner9380]

probably the best haunted mansion overlay ive ever seen. damn

[@miguelvasquez5361]

I Have 2 Questions: 1. If The Overlay Were To Come To Magic Kingdom In Florida, Then Would Most Assets Be Like A Combination Of The Ones From California And Tokyo? 2. If The Overlay Were To Come To Phantom Manor In Disneyland Paris, Then How Would It Work Out?

[@WDWNT]

Tokyo’s overlay was meant for Magic Kingdom, so that would be it

[@DislikeDisney]

New projections at the end?

[@DimitriyMykhaylovDisneyFan]

Welcome Back, Haunted Mansion Holiday! I Never Knew You Would Come this Year due to the Refurbishment going on back there that is supposed to last for about the Rest of the Year

[@gsjohnson22225]

I know its hard to predict but, in your experience.. how often does Disney finish refurbs finish before schedual? My Trip ends September 4th.. Just kills me seeing it reopen just after ive left..

[@matthewhahn1132]

Well great of 23rd anniversary too and too early

[@Hypagemie]

As someone from the uk its crazy to me the halloween/christmas mansion is open at the end of July 😅

[@deshawnedwards6412]

Already? Seem too early to start off the Haunted Holiday.

[@ethanshackleton]

It’s because the Holiday decorations were left up from when it closed for refurbishment, so they kept them up rather than taking them down for a month.

[@ItzAdrian02]

Also space mountain is closing for a month during d23 and they need something open cuz there's too much closed rn

[@ulisestorres1122]

The Tarot Cards floating

[@WanderingMage82]

did they fix the glass in ballroom scene?

[@dedi-ir]

❤

[@americanmoron4314]

Is it just me or does the hanging ghost in the stretching room after we see the window break look completely different and more like a projection instead of practical?

[@WDWNT]

It’s been a projection for Holiday for many years

[@BlueOrangeNY31]

I’m confusing in July

[@sommersonnenwende]

Meeting at Disney: Bob Iger: Next year Universal will destroy our Orlando empire. Does anyone have any suggestions? Little Nobody: How about a real-life film adaptation of Snow White. Bob Iger: Very good, but we came up with the idea a long time ago. Anyone else? Little Nobody 2: Let's turn the Haunted Mansion into a gingerbread house in July this year. Bob Iger: Very good. We are saved.

[@ascallednobody]

They have been doing this overlay for years? They only kept the decorations when they closed it since if they fully turned it back to haunted mansion it would only have 1 month to shine then haunted mansion holiday again.

[@wolf2912]

Halloween this early?

[@WDWNT]

Yes this opened in July actually

[@DaveysWonderfulWorld]

It’s not even Halloween yet

[@anamelessyoutuber1462]

Did they seriously open this already? Halloween isn't even close.

[@XachWithUke]

Why did they bring it back so early this year

[@eddieg6436]

Splash Mountain and Critter Country are closed. Mansion was closed. Disney HAD to open Mansion ASAP……people we’re getting angry, and the park needs CAPACITY.

[@oosthakker]

​@@eddieg6436 yeah but why is it in christmas decoratian already?

[@eddieg6436]

@@oosthakker That’s the Nightmare before Christmas overlay the ride does every year, every fall….it’s just EARLY this year.

[@oosthakker]

@@eddieg6436 i understand but they never removed it this year or?

[@ascallednobody]

​@@oosthakkeryes because they would need to put back the decors in like 1 or 2 months if it was opened as regular haunted mansion

[@SMTraz]

So the new queue area isn't open yet?

[@eddieg6436]

No, it probably won’t open until mid January 2025.

[@kazuthesamurai7346]

Holiday !? WTF 🤷🏻‍♂️ It's still July. This makes absolutely no sense.

[@bethanymargason8383]

So we got the Christmas in July treatment, huh? 🙄
