Haunted Mansion Exterior Work Expands With New Scaffolding at Magic Kingdom

The activity aligns with permits for show-focused construction prompted by new sightlines from the Piston Peak project.

Overview

  • Crews installed additional scaffolding at the mansion’s left rear that now connects to earlier scaffolding in the graveyard queue, with green scrim already covering the older structure.
  • A large portion of the front lawn has been cleared of shrubs and small trees, exposing areas near the patio railing and creating space for ongoing exterior work.
  • Public filings show Walt Disney Imagineering permits for general construction and installation of set elements, with one permit assigning work to Mecca Productions.
  • Outlets report the work is preparing a slight extension or refresh of facade and graveyard elements to address views that will open with the Piston Peak walkway to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.
  • The attraction remains open and operating normally, and Disney has not announced interior changes, with rumors about scene alterations remaining unconfirmed.
