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!
