As twinkle lights fade, seasonal treats disappear, and the parks begin to feel just a little less merry, Disneyland enters that in-between moment where one chapter ends, and another begins. While it’s bittersweet to watch the holidays wind down, this shift also signals an exciting time to start dreaming about what 2026 has in store. But, there’s still time to experience one beloved holiday ride overlay that always makes this transition feel especially emotional — but you’ll need to be QUICK if you’re planning to get in one last ride!

If Haunted Mansion Holiday is a must-do on every Disneyland visit, consider this your friendly heads-up! Jack Skellington and his friends are getting ready to pack up the gingerbread and twinkle lights for the season.

Once January 12th rolls around, the attraction will go dark briefly as Disney works its magic behind the scenes, transforming the mansion back to its original, ghostly glory. When it reopens on January 23rd, we can once again expect the classic Haunted Mansion we all know and love — 999 happy haunts, Madame Leota, and all the timeless spooky details that make it such a Disneyland staple.
