Overview
- Multiple outlets report signs suggesting Walt Disney World is considering show-focused changes to Haunted Mansion after 54 years.
- Disney has not announced any plans, timelines, or construction details for the attraction.
- Disneyland reworked the Constance Hatchaway scene in January 2025 with a more sorrowful portrayal, a change not adopted in Magic Kingdom.
- The successful addition of the Hatbox Ghost in late 2023 at Magic Kingdom is cited as proof that selective updates can fit the ride's tone.
- Analysts expect any work, if approved, to emphasize improved animatronics plus refined lighting, sound, and subtle projection effects rather than a full reimagining.
