Reports Point to Targeted Haunted Mansion Update at Walt Disney World

Coverage frames Disneyland's recent character tweak as a trial that could inform a measured refresh in Florida.

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.
