Uhm, hey Disney? Please don’t touch that.

Disney World’s Haunted Mansion

There is major work going on in Magic Kingdom, and we’ve been watching dirt move up and down for a while. While one of our favorite nearby classic attractions has had some work done, we’re starting to think it’s more extensive than we thought.

The Haunted Mansion has been undergoing exterior work, so to combat this, they put up a whole poster of the ride’s front (cause you know, you can’t tell the difference, right?).

Yikes!

Well, our bestie @bioreconstruct on X (who posts the absolute best aerial photos) shared a photo of the manor, and it’s starting to look more intense than we thought. You can see scaffolding and scrims all around, and the brown coverings are protecting the roofs.

The ride is operating normally and doesn’t even have a message on the website saying there’s something happening, so it’s currently only exterior work. We wouldn’t be surprised if they do some sort of indoor refurb soon. Who doesn’t love a little spring refresh?

Now, next to the Haunted Mansion, there is Piston Peak, the new land replacing Tom Sawyer Island and the Rivers of America. It’s themed to our favorite Pixar cars and will feature two rides, including a road rally racing one and a more family-friendly one.

Because of this construction right next door, could Disney be retheming the sides of the mansion so it blends in better with the Frontierland theming? The Haunted Mansion is technically in Liberty Square, which doesn’t typically align with Frontierland’s theme, so we’re interested to see how Disney ties it all together.

A peek at construction in Magic Kingdom!

While we’re talking about construction, we can’t forget to mention Villains Land, which is going behind Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. The land will have its own theme but will still be next to Frontierland, so the transition space between the lands will be interesting.
