Halloween Time is in full swing at Disneyland Resort, which means The Haunted Mansion is under temporary new management. The Pumpkin King is in charge–or at least Sandy Claws, his gift-giving alter-ego, is. This time each year, The Haunted Mansion receives a full make-over, in honor of the Halloween (and Christmas, too!) classic, The Nightmare Before Christmas. It’s a special treat for Disneyland goers which isn’t repeated at Walt Disney World. Many Southern Californians and Disneyland die-hards have learned to love this seasonal change of scenery, which has only been going for… well, we can’t tell you how long, because it’s time to take our Haunted Mansion Holiday Transformation Trivia Quiz, and that would spoil the surprise!
