Haunted Mansion in Disneyland Park is no longer using a virtual queue because the BRAND-NEW queue is officially open!
Back in January, the attraction was closed for renovation until July 29th. However, when the attraction reopened, the queue was still under construction so Haunted Mansion has been using a virtual queue.
The virtual queue is no more for this attraction! The queue reopened on November 26th ending the need for the virtual queue, so we HAD to stop by to check it out.
The gardens in the queue are being protected by some animals including a raven and a crouching cat. It looks like the cat is ready to pounce!
Once inside the queue you will come across a garden retreat designed by Master Gracey. You will see some faces on the wall, including the face of a sea maiden.
As you continue moving forward you will also spot an iron gazebo with a book, astrological armillary sphere, and a smoking pipe in an area that was used by Master Gracey.
Next up, you will enter into Madame Leota’s garden. There is a variety of statues and trinkets located throughout the garden. You will also see a repeating motif of fortune-telling orbs.
Further into the queue, you will enter into the Mansion Greenhouse. You will see some of the resident’s unusual plants hanging from the ceiling.
You will also find a pet cemetery within the queue.
You can also spot a familiar fountain in the queue! This Spanish fountain used to be in the middle of Magnolia Park.
We also spotted some interesting details in the queue. Is that a bone we see inside the storage chest?
You also can’t pass by these markers without reading the names and chuckling a bit. And of course, have a moment of silence for people such as U.R. Gone and Pearl E. Gates.
After our first time walking through the queue, we felt like the new additions are a seamless fit. We loved seeing all the little details, and they were all over the place in the queue! Our biggest wish was that the queue included a bit more shade, but we were still impressed with the renovation. It hasn’t quite reached the level of the Haunted Mansion queue in Magic Kingdom, but it is getting closer.
The transformation of this area is ALMOST complete, right now we are just waiting on the new merchandise store to open up. The new store will be called Madame Leota’s Somewhere Beyond and is expected to open winter 2025. Inside, the shop is filled with Madame Leota’s eclectic furniture and even her crystal ball. You never know when she might drop in either!
