Disneyland Confirms Two Short August Closures as Park Prepares Halloween Overlay
The scheduled conversions mark the park's move from anniversary programming into Halloween then holiday lineups, potentially altering guest itineraries.
Overview
- Disney confirmed that Haunted Mansion will close August 8 so crews can install the annual Haunted Mansion Holiday overlay and is scheduled to reopen August 21.
- Main Street Cinema is set to close August 10 following the 70th Anniversary’s August 9 end, and Disney has not published a reopening date for the theater.
- Main Street Cinema has been showing The Last Verse for the anniversary, which is expected to leave when the celebration ends but Disney has not officially confirmed post-closure programming.
- Disney published a broader summer refurbishment calendar that lists other July–August closures, and visitors are advised to check that calendar because short shutdowns can affect itineraries during peak travel season.
- Haunted Mansion Holiday is a long-running seasonal overlay inspired by The Nightmare Before Christmas that began in 2001 and typically runs through Halloween and into the holiday season.
