Calling All Grim Grinning Ghosts! Celebrate All Things Haunted Mansion at Walt Disney World on August 9

I’m so excited for this!

From the Disney Parks Blog and written by: Sarah Domenech

As you may have read yesterday, Disneyland is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the beloved Haunted Mansion with commemorative special anniversary merchandise! We are excited to share today that this collection will also be available at Walt Disney World where we will also be celebrating the anniversary on August 9 at Magic Kingdom Park! Celebratory merchandise and a themed treat will be available.

Memento Mori, Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe and Frontier Trading Post are your key locations for these haunting must haves!


Make
your way to Memento Mori to discover our brand new Host-A-Ghost collection!
From her Séance Circle, Madame Leota invites all the guests of the Haunted
Mansion to become caretakers to one of its “999 Restless Spirits.” With a simple tap, and a ghostly
giggle, Leota, as the head spiritualist, will channel your spirit to
materialize for you. You will receive a “death certificate” that officiates
your role of caretaker for a resident and happy haunt from the Haunted Mansion.
Guests can choose from a selection of dearly departed souls, including
Constance Hatchaway, Professor Phineas Plump, The Hatbox Ghost, among others

You can also find commemorative items such as an ear hat, ornament,
mug, magnet and even a toy replica of the doom buggy vehicle with glow and new sound features at Memento Mori. If
you’re looking to complete your cadaverous look – keep an eye out for a PANDORA
charm set*, ALEX AND ANI bracelet, light up headband and 50th anniversary
apparel at this location.

At
Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe, you can find a Haunted-Mansion inspired Dooney &
Bourke collection including a tote and cross body bag. And Passholders, the
collection will have an exclusive satchel just for you!

And of course, there are also keepsakes for every type of
collector. Check out Frontier Trading Post for the commemorative “day of” pin,
mystery pin collection and a glow in the dark Madame Leota Funko Pop!

As part of the celebration, you can enjoy special Disney PhotoPass Magic Shots featuring your favorite Haunted Mansion residents that will be sure to put some fright in your fun!

Looking for a sweet treat while you’re enjoying all the frights?
Make your way to the Haunted Mansion ice cream cart for the Host-A-Ghost
chocolate cupcake made with a dark chocolate truffle filling, crispy pearls,
buttercream icing, and milk chocolate decoration. Delicious enough to bring you
back to life!

For guests of this special merchandise event at Liberty Square, all of these ghoulish goodies will be available for purchase at 7:45 a.m.! Guests will also have early access to the Haunted Mansion attraction at Liberty Square during this time. So hurry on over, we would like your company!

But, that’s not all! While all guests will have access to this merchandise starting with the special event on August 9, guests attending Disney Villain After Hours on August 8 will have access to certain items in advance. The Funko Pop, pins and Dooney & Bourke handbags will all release on the morning of August 9 and will not be available during Disney Villains After Hours.

For more information on Disney Villains After Hours and to purchase your tickets, visit DisneyWorld.com/VillainsAfterHours or call the Disney Reservation Center at (407) 939-2742. Disney Villains After Hours tickets cost $139 plus tax in advance and $144 plus tax on the event night.

So, who else is going? Will I see you out there?

As a reminder, merchandise is available while supplies last and admission
