Aerial Photos Show Haunted Mansion Wrapped in Scaffolding as Exterior Overhaul Advances

Overview

• New aerial images posted Sunday show the conservatory and the manor’s east side fully covered by scaffolding, with the attraction still operating.
• Coverage from park reporters points to roofing and chimney repairs, brick and mortar restoration, and resealing of the glass conservatory rather than any story change inside the ride.
• Disney has hung photo‑realistic scrims over the scaffolds to mask the work so the building still looks on-theme to guests in Liberty Square.
• The project grew from small January repairs to a full facade effort by April without a long closure, which has rerouted parts of the interactive queue and limited classic photo spots.
• Reporters note nearby construction has exposed backstage walls and could be driving expanded theming, and a new structure near the queue may serve as a future gateway, though its purpose is not confirmed.
