Overview
- Disney Parks announced the experience on Instagram on September 24 with a preview titled “The Haunted Mansion Happy Hunt: A DisneyBand+ Experience.”
- Players begin by scanning their DisneyBand+ in the Haunted Mansion Parlor, then find hidden ghosts and return them to Madame Leota for a swinging wake.
- DisneyBand+ activations prompt ghostly animations on portraits across the vessel, including non–Haunted Mansion artwork such as Pocahontas and Steamboat Willie pieces.
- The ship-wide scavenger hunt echoes past Disney Cruise Line games like The Muppets Midship Detective Agency but uniquely requires DisneyBand+ to play.
- Some outlets suggest the experience could extend to other ships like the Disney Destiny, though Disney has not confirmed broader rollout.
