The season of returning pre-shows has begun, and we are absolutely here for it!

Now that Disney World has started to implement relaxed restrictions around the parks, fully vaccinated guests are able to go maskless inside attractions and most other areas. That means that attractions have also started to return to normal as pre-shows for attractions like Dinosaur and Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway have been reinstated.
And, now one of our FAVORITE pre-shows of all time is finally back in the Magic Kingdom! Last year when Disney World reopened, the Stretching Room at the Haunted Mansion was closed as a health and safety precaution. And, as other attractions also closed their pre-shows, we’ve been waiting for the Stretching Room to give us those spooky chills again!

But, the wait is finally over because we’re BACK at the Haunted Mansion to catch the paintings stretching and listen to the Ghost Host welcoming us to the mansion!

When we entered the pre-show area, guests were directed to the dead center of the room once again. The show conducted as per usual before everyone was lead outside of the room and towards the Doom Buggies. Even though the Haunted Mansion is supposed to be spooky, we couldn’t help but cry a few happy tears with the return of the iconic scene.

We’ll be sure to give you a look a the other attractions that open soon to guests. And, you can stay tuned with All Ears for the latest Disney entertainment and news!
Face coverings are now optional for fully-vaccinated Cast Members
