How is the area around Haunted mansion/Splash right now?

[Pluto468]

With the construction going on at HM and Splash, is there alot of congestion around that area? I'm assuming there are lots of fences that make pathways narrower.

Honestly, it hasn't felt any more congested than usual, IMO. Not that it ISN'T congested at all (between HM and Rivers of America it always gets packed in the afternoons), just no worse than usual. The lines for POTC have been a bit rough since HM closed and they put POTC on Genie+, but I've also noticed that if it looks awful, walk away for like 20 or 30 minutes and when you come back it will usually be much better.

It may get worse in May, once Pooh Corner goes down. But with most people just using that area as a path from Frontierland to Galaxy's Edge, it doesn't feel as awful as it could be. (Again, all IMO.)

Honestly once Critter Country closes in 5 weeks or so there will be very little, if any reason to even go past Tiana's Palace.

Are there any rumors on when the Mansion will re-open? 2024, 25, 26?

The current rumor is it will open for Haunted Mansion Holiday, in August. But that is only 5 months away, so who knows. Though my dad told my mom that he had heard that it was closing for two years.

Maybe, instead of winding it back and forth, they'll just extend the POTC line into Critter Country.

Speculation is late August to coincide with Halloween season, barring any construction issues that might arise. (I know some Mansion CMs have told others that it’s what they were told.)

The only area that was a choke point was right by harbour galley. It felt tight and they actually had a cast member there trying to direct traffic. But the ramp over the drop of splash felt not bad at all. But this was also mid morning, so I don’t think crowds were too intense yet. (This was last week)

Was that because of the queue?

That's the area I was wondering about. Thanks!

I was able to mobile order the cookies! That’s what I was going there for. lol. I don’t recall seeing a long line for harbour galley. But to be honest, I was hungry and focused on the cookies. Haha. They are worth the hype btw. Yum!
