Celebrate All Things Haunted Mansion at Walt Disney World on August 9th
Happy Haunts will be materializing at Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World in just a few short weeks! As we mentioned yesterday, Disneyland is pulling out all of the stops to celebrate 50 incredible years of the Haunted Mansion in New Orleans Square and the ghostly relatives on the East Coast have decided to get in on the fun! On August 9th, visitors to the park will be able to stock up on celebratory merchandise. We can’t wait for you to take a look!
Memento Mori, Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe and Frontier Trading Post are your key locations for these haunting must-haves!
We are so excited to share with you a first look at the 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 (pictured below), ornament, mug, magnet and even a toy replica of the doom buggy vehicle with glow and new sound features at Memento Mori (Haunted Mansions official gift shop located next to Columbia Harbour House). 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 crossbody bag. And Passholders, the collection will have an exclusive satchel just for you!

And it wouldn’t be a celebration without a frightfully delicious sweet treat! 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.
