Haunted Mansion

I hear on another forum that there are same changes since it reopened from HMH. Anyone have pictures or video or have been on it and can say?

Interesting. Like what? Did by any chance Monsieur Hat Box Ghost reappear like some kind of fantôme prodigal son? Now that would be exciting!

The person mentioned a new window after leaving the attic and something in the corner the Hatbox Ghost used to be in but they couldn't make it out. Another said the corner he would be in seemed to be blocked off, which if true would indicate to me that those rumours of him returning before the 60th Anniversary in May are true.

The new window:

I was on it today and I noticed the new window. It didn't look like something permanent. I also noticed more hanging artwork than I've noticed before. One was a headshot of the hat box ghost. Not sure if it's new or just something I hadn't noticed before.
No big changes though.

Thanks for the info.

Here's a video of it (not mine, to clarify):

Unless I'm mistaken, the vehicles didn't used to pivot towards where that wall with the window is now. So...curious why they do now? That plus, as you said, the temporary look of it makes me think that the Hatbox Ghost rumours are true and we'll be seeing it in the near future in that spot. Or something else perhaps, but I can dream.

Just went I it and you no longer see yourself with the hitchiking ghosts at the end!!! Also, Madame Leota now floats. Did she always?

I was at the HM on Sunday. Madame Leota wasn't floating however I did see the new "window" as you leave the attic and begin to head down to the graveyard. It's a nice addition. I wondered if I'd simply not noticed it before.

Now that Jack Skellington has given the Haunted Mansion back to its 999 happy haunts, the classic attraction is open once again for Disneyland park guests. And those with a keen eye will notice something strange when they leave the mansion and enter its spooky cemetery on their Doom Buggies … but what disquieting metamorphosis is happening in this space? Leave your guesses in the comments and I’ll tell you as soon as this specter receives your sympathetic vibrations and is ready to materialize!

Ooohh......... sounds exciting and most enticing indeed! Thank you for the update.
Hat box ghostie?...... oh, how I would love that. It would help with making the major shock and sting of losing the Court of Angels bite less. Just a bit, mind you. Yes, indeed, only a bit.

Disney Blog says Hat Box Ghost won't be appearing this year, huge bummer but they did say that they are adding something to the cemetery area, so wonder what it will be.

Not the cemetery, as you leave the mansion to go to the cemetery. Which is where the new temporary wall is.

In Erin Glover's Parks Blog from today, the only thing I saw her say (in response to everyone's comments about the Hatbox Ghost) was:

"...Unfortunately this grim, grinning ghost is not ready to make its presence known just yet. I’ll have details to share as this mystery develops."

That was from today's blog -- HERE.

Did she say somewhere that the Hatbox Ghost won't appear this year?
