Disney Confirms Haunted Mansion Facade Refresh at Magic Kingdom; Ride Remains Open

Permits indicate a nearby transition structure tied to upcoming Villains/Cars projects to preserve sightlines.

Overview

  • New photos show a large green scrim and scaffolding now covering most of the Haunted Mansion’s exterior as of February 5–6.
  • Disney states the work is a routine exterior refresh that includes paint and trim updates, stone stabilization, roofing touch-ups, and temporary landscape removal.
  • Officials and reporting reaffirm no changes to interior show scenes, with the Stretching Room and its classic effects remaining intact.
  • The attraction continues to operate during the exterior work, and reporting suggests the refresh could run for at least several months without a firm end date from Disney.
  • Walt Disney Imagineering permits and active land clearing for Villains Land and the Piston Peak expansion show a new building rising beside the Mansion to manage sightlines, with any interior uses not yet confirmed.
