Haunted Mansion – closed!?

It seems the restless souls at Disneyland have gotten into the other holiday spirit and are making the transformation once again into the Haunted Mansion Holiday, meaning the ride will be off limites to the living until Sept. 20th.

For this ghostbuster, the Haunted Mansion Holiday thing is worn out, especially since the Haunted Mansion itself was renovated a bit recently with some new additions, and at any point is always superior to the Nightmare Before Christmas overlay. I was under the hopeful impression they’d retired the overlay for at least a few years… which would have been more than welcome considering the overlay “overlay is operational for over 25 percent of the attraction’s total yearly schedule,” according to Doombuggies.com.

Alas, it gives me a true haunted attraction to look forward to early next year in the “off season”.
