The holidays at Disneyland are quietly slipping away…and it’s harder to say goodbye than we thought.

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.

Disneyland has officially confirmed that Haunted Mansion Holiday will have its final day on January 11th, meaning January 12th marks the start of a temporary closure for the beloved attraction.

The good news? This downtime is short and sweet because Haunted Mansion is scheduled to reopen in its classic form on January 23rd.

If you’ve been meaning to squeeze in one last ride through the Nightmare Before Christmas-themed overlay, now’s the time. Haunted Mansion Holiday is a fan favorite for a reason — where else can you get spooky vibes and holiday cheer all wrapped into one delightfully eerie experience? From the iconic gingerbread house to Jack’s mischievous takeover of the mansion, it’s a version of the ride that many guests wait all year to experience.

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.

If you’re planning a mid-January Disneyland trip, this is definitely something to keep in mind while mapping out your park days and Genie+ strategy. Either plan to catch Haunted Mansion Holiday before January 11th, or look forward to welcoming back the original version just a few days later.
Either way… no matter the overlay, this attraction remains simply meant to be part of any Disneyland visit (kinda like how we’re your trusted Disney news source right here at AllEars!) Be sure to stay tuned for even more Disney tips, hints, secrets, and fun — why? Because we’re serious about fun!
