The closer we get to Halloweentime the MORE exciting news we get of all the new and returning things at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure! 

This is Halloween!

We know that Oogie Boogie Bash is RETURNING this year to Disneyland Resort, and we can’t wait! One of the more popular traditions at Disneyland is when the Haunted Mansion gets a The Nightmare Before Christmas makeover and its name is changed to Haunted Mansion Holiday! Well, after a year of going without the spooky overlay, Disney had some EXCITING news to share today!

We thought this might be the case, and now it’s official.

The bad news is that the Haunted Mansion will be closing for some updates on August 16th. The good news, however, is that the reason for this closure is the Haunted Mansion Holiday will be returning!

This is also the 20th appearance of the iconic gingerbread house that is placed in the Haunted Mansion’s ballroom. Remember, it’s different every year, so we can’t wait to see what’s in store for the decoration’s major milestone!
