Haunted Mansion Holiday to open Wednesday, Sept. 24th - LA Times
Haunted Mansion reopens at Disneyland with ‘Nightmare Before Christmas’ theme - Travel - LATimes.com

Quote:

Disneyland‘s Haunted Mansion is expected to “soft open” on Wednesday, Sept. 24, 2008, with the now-traditional Halloween/Christmas holiday overlay.

The official reopening of the refurbished Mansion — on Friday, Sept. 26, 2008 — coincides with the kickoff of Halloween festivities at the Anaheim theme park.

I know there is mixed feeling on this attraction but I love it. I wait all year for this. To me the holiday season officially kicks off after I ride this (I consider Halloween part of the Holiday season).

Yes it did, and I LOVE the new Gingerbread house (the only real change in the attraction).

Spoiler


It is a tribute to the Knott's Berry Farm Coffin near the Stagecoach.

A Coffin is in the middle of the table, and the lid opens up to show a Gingerbread person, who then rises (top half) out of the coffin, then goes back down, and the lid closes... Repeat about every 20 seconds...

This is the best part of the Holidays to me! Not only that but let me tell you we did not go to Disney World this Holiday season because they said there is no HMH is this true?!
