Haunted Mansion will close for refurbishment at Disneyland Park on Saturday, August 8, before Haunted Mansion Holiday returns later in the month.

On Disney's August 7 schedule, the New Orleans Square ride is listed from 8 a.m. to midnight. On August 8 and August 9, Haunted Mansion is closed for refurbishment for the full day.

Haunted Mansion Holiday is scheduled to return August 21, the same day Disneyland Resort's 2026 Halloween Time season begins.

The closure lines up with the annual switch to Haunted Mansion Holiday, the seasonal version built around Jack Skellington, Sally, Zero, Oogie Boogie, and the attraction's holiday gingerbread house.

Disney has not posted a detailed refurbishment scope. For guests, the practical note is simple: ride the regular Haunted Mansion by August 7 if it is a priority for an early-August Disneyland day.

Holiday Season Context

Disneyland Resort previously confirmed that Haunted Mansion Holiday, it's a small world Holiday, Mater's Jingle Jamboree, Luigi's Joy to the Whirl, and Cars Land holiday decorations are all returning for the 2026 season.

Haunted Mansion Holiday usually bridges Halloween Time and the Christmas season at Disneyland Park, so the August 21 return gives the overlay a long run before the year-end holiday calendar begins.
