The Hatbox Ghost will appear to guests as they pass the Endless Hallway making him the first visible ghost guests will now encounter. However, in a recent tweet by Disney Parks we now have confirmation that the Hatbox Ghost will make his debut later this year which we already assumed but more importantly his confirmed location. It was originally speculated that when the Hatbox ghost is finally added, he would be set to appear after the bride at the end of the attic scene as is the case with the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland Park which returned in 2015. With the confirmed closure of the Haunted Mansion at Magic Kingdom on August 7 - 9, 2023 many were speculating that this could be in order to add the Hatbox ghost but is was quickly confirmed that although installation would begin in this downtime, we would have to wait a little longer for the Hatbox ghost to make his long awaited debut. The Hatbox Ghost appeared on the 2023 list which was fantastic news for Disney fans. We assume this work was in preparation for the Hatbox Ghost to make his big Walt Disney World debut.Ī timeline of planned openings 2022-2024 was announced at the D23 Expo in Anaheim back in September 2022.

The red flickering glow now helps to illuminate the rest of the scene. Back at the end of June, we saw that Disney had been doing some behind-the-scenes work at the Haunted Mansion which included the addition of new interior lighting for the hearse in the graveyard scene.
