@@memethyst My initial thought after realizing 50 rides was impossible was to ride it 19 times (for 2019) but even that proved to be far too difficult with the time I had

It’s pretty fascinating to see a ride to have grown so much. I do hope it continues to grow more as the years go by. Like Walt said “Disneyland will never be completed”
violetgraveyards definitely. Haunted Mansion Holiday is literally a Christmas ride. The fact that they change it for Halloween is just stupid and doesn’t make any sense
@@annarobbins213 But Nightmare Before Christmas is a Halloween X Christmas film, which is why the overlay spans the fall & winter seasons spotlighting Halloween & Christmas, with Thanksgiving as the afterthought holiday shoved into the middle between the other 2 & Veteran's Day being looked at no different than Memorial Day or Labor Day, in all honesty, to the point that it's even more forgotten than Thanksgiving itself has become.
@TherealRNO the movie is Halloween and Christmas, sure, but the ride is Christmas only. Have you ever been on it? The whole idea is that it’s the HM on the Christmas that Jack took over. They have a goddamn sign on the front saying 0 days until Christmas for cryin out loud. It’s not a Halloween ride.
So long as they don't have to worry about getting attacked by startled guests or having to unfortunately pry apart snogging couples ruining the ride experience for everyone else by trying to get it on unseen whilst in the creepy dark ride's pitch blackness (except for those times when it relies on blue UV light for special effects) again like they had to (these instances took place right before the Living Knight aspect was removed entirely due to safety concerns & cost cutting measures), I'm up for it.
I work at one of the most intense and best haunted houses in the country. It’s a hard job but you definitely get used to it. They would find actors that can do it. Mark my word. The haunted mansions pretty layed back when it comes to haunted houses
I told my wife when I die I wanted a haunted mansion themed funeral. I imagine it looking just like this evening. We’re gonna crank the fog machines to 11
"Grim grinning Ghosts" is one of my favorite songs from the Haunted mansion. i get "Ghost (goose) Bumps" when i listen to it. its simply, "Thrilling" to listen to. it speaks to my "Soul" hehe... im all out of Puns now, some one "Pun-ish" me haha. ok, ok im done lol... i love Disney. great place to hang out and enjoy with family, especially the little ones. completely different experience than simply going as a kid yourself. now you get to enjoy it form the more experienced side of things as an adult ye know.
Haunted Mansion will forever be one of the greatest Disney rides in history! Also did they combine Paul Frees and Corey Burton as the voice of the Ghost Host for this? There are parts where I hear Corey but some of it sounds like Paul.
Jean Lafayette is 13 letters Offhand Disney is 13 letters Dallon wanted to ride the haunted mansion 13 times in the 50th anniversary coincidence maybe hotel Trivago
Idk, they did show some respect for the hulk coaster by giving a near perfect ride an overhaul that was necessary (but nobody knew that it was until riding it after the improvements) At least HHN gets some respect

Thank you for sharing this video!! It was wonderful getting to see the events. I started crying while watching this video. I don't know why, could have been the return of the live actors (a feature I hope persists), could have been the fact Hatty made it back in time for the 50th, but whatever it was, I know it's not because I'm upset I couldn't attend.

When I attended CSU Long Beach some of my friends worked at Disneyland. One friend, Jeannie, worked at the Haunted Mansion. I ran into her there on one of my many visits to the park and she gave me an unauthorized backstage tour of the mansion. It was amazing getting to see it from the perspective of the cast members.
No offense to catty schizo Constance as the Black Widow Bride, but I much rather prefer mysteriously forlorn "Beating Heart", whose undying yearn for tragic love, I feel, suits Disney's "Happiest Place on Earth" public image (seeing as the woefully melancholy Bride can reunite with her Groom in the hereafter, since the Mansion is not just a retirement home for ghosts across the ages, but in several attempts at concocting a working narrative for the mismatched attraction's scary but funny conceptualization, the lore indicates that the previously opulent but now foreboding estates that the various Haunted Mansions - Phantom Manor in Disneyland Paris included, with it being the only rendition of the eerie attraction with a cohesive working story that still has ties to it being a haunted house that's chock full of not just the standard ghosts like its American & Tokyo counterparts, but also flailing zombies entombed in Phantom Canyon's catacombs & of course, vengeful land baron Henry Ravenswood, who had the house made for his family to live in during his lifetime as primary benefactor & head proprietor of the adjacent nearby mining town of Thunder Mesa before all of the gold reserves dried up & his stubbornly adamant refusal to heed the tribal native's warnings of a mythical Thunder Bird supposedly located within the belly of the mining excavation sealed his fate once a massive earthquake struck & ultimately capsized the town, however even death couldn't keep Henry Ravenswood away from the equity of his decaying manor, largely in part due to his borderline incestuously creepy desire to force his only daughter Melanie to remain there for her entire life in the house with him even after he was believed to have perished during the earthquake that swallowed up Thunder Mesa whole [not counting the operational duplicate of the town in its Gold Rush heyday that continues operating Big Thunder Railroad by way of the equally iconic Big Thunder Mountain, since Phantom Manor & Big Thunder Mountain share the same overarching plot thread & reside firmly in Disneyland Paris's clearly romanticized depiction of the Old West in Frontierland, instead of existing as its American counterparts do as an antebellum plantation settlement in New Orleans Square off the nearby Blue Bayou sharing water with the Rivers of America in California's Disneyland nor a gothic Victorian estate plopped into colonial era Liberty Square in Florida's Walt Disney World, with neither of the stateside Mansions carrying a proper storyline, aside from various conceptualized retellings of the attraction's multiple mythos], he returned from beyond the grave as the cackling Phantom [who just so happens to be fittingly voiced by lauded horror icon Vincent Price] in order to hang Melanie's latest groom from the rafters of the Foyer after all of her prior previous suitors have likewise met with their own unfortunate ends as well [the use of multiple fiancees was a post-2007 story element added from both of the American Haunted Mansions to Phantom Manor's own 2018 refurbishment, along with the return of the Vincent Price English narration, in correlation with the Changing Portrait of Henry Ravenwood morphing into the leering visage of The Phantom to finally confirm, at long last, that Henry Ravenswood IS The Phantom] - used to be when their owners were still among the living became cursed over time due to housing all 999 restless souls trapped inside the attraction, who are forever unable to crossover onto The Other Side, because "they seem to have trouble getting through" despite usually disembodied seer Madame Leota summoning them "for a swinging wake" with her incantations) over gleeful murderess Connie spouting cheesy wedding puns, especially since, as a ghost, the "until death do you part" thing has already happened as just due karma for Constance murdering her well-off husbands-to-be during their perceived honeymoons.
Thanks for sharing this! I was there the day it opened. We got in line about dusk and were approached by a cast member. I was asked if I'd carry a paper with the time on it and if so we could ride for free (no giving up our D Tickets). Of course, we said yes :) It was a once in a lifetime adventure. Difficult to believe it was 50 years ago!
Awww this made me cry for nostalgia reasons.. thank you Dallon.. I was born and raised in Anaheim and Disneyland is a part of my soul. 2020 and recently moving inland to Arkansas has me frequenting your channel quite obsessively. But this video really hit a soft spot for me. Thank you!
Thanks for making this vid! It’s awesome to see Disneyland do a tribute like this! It’s been a long time since I’ve been back ever since I moved away from Southern California. Thanks for bringing us peeps who didn’t get to attend along for the event! :)
My favorite movie is The haunted mansion Pirate of the Caribbean's Tower of terror Toys story Goosebumps haunted Halloween The country bears Nightmare before Christmas
This is why the haunted mansion is my favorite 😭💀😍 Walt Disney would be so proud! He put so much effort and love into this ride! I wish he could have seen it 😭😭
It would have been super amazing if SOMEHOW they found the original Hatbox ghost and placed it in the mansion for it's one day 50th anniversary, but considering how we still don't know where Hatty ran off to, I doubt we'll ever find him. Although I'm wondering if maybe hatty maybe got re-purposed into another animatronic after it's mysterious removal the rough week after opening. Considering it would make a bit of sense. The only problem would be trying to figure out what animatronic resembles hatty form in the attractions from that point in time.
While you were watching the opening ceremony at the riverfront, I was making my first of only two rides that night. The Knight was positioned against the right hand wall when I went through, so I didn’t see him until he stepped out into his attack pose. It was an awesome reason to jump in my seat. I only got to ride it once more, because there was so much to do! By the way, it was nice meeting you at the check in that morning, for as quick a meeting as it was.
Love the ride despite never being able to ride it save through videos... one day though... but anyway. Dude, Where did you get those shoes and where can I get them?
what's crazy man is I was there that day and had no idea it was going on. I grew up about a mile from the front gates and I went there nearly every day of my childhood, I basically lived there and now I live so far away I can only go once every couple years. But this was my one day back in a long time, and it just happened to be the same day! Now I know why all those people had 50th anniversary tags around their necks and why when I stood on my grandma's front porch i heard extra spooky stuff way after the nightly fireworks show. So cool!
Happy Birthday Haunted Mansion!!! :D I am a very big fan of The Haunted Mansion and Bug Thunder Mountain Railroad as well! I’m glad to see one of my favorite ride is all time at Disney turn 50!
This is pretty cool. Its relaxing and nastolgic to watch. Just discovered this channel and I realized how much I kinda miss going to Disneyland. I wish I was there for the event
@@StillNotYourSenpai The crowd did cheer & applaud after the riverside song & dance was over, it was just drowned out by the music & firework pyro effects.
Ahhh I’m so early! I’m taking this advantage to tell you how much I love your channel! I could watch it all day it’s spooky and Disney and that’s like my two favorite things. Keep it going cuz it’s amazing!
I’ve come here to say that I managed to ride the Haunted Mansion (in Walt Disney World) 13 times over the course of 3 Magic Kingdom days. The first: 2 The second: 5 in a row +1 The third: 5 but spread out By the time I was done, Ghost Host’s voice was seared into my mind, the Grim Grinning Ghosts song echoed in places it wasn’t being played, and the hitchhiking ghosts always remained behind my eyes. I broke out into maniacal laughter after the final ride. Was it joy? Relief? Insanity? Maybe all three. But I did it. The goal was accomplished, and despite it all, The Haunted Mansion remains my favorite ride.
They need to do this more often or make it part of the Not-So-Scary (With less things to not take away from the anniversary nights, of course) because... It's... It's so beautiful...
ugh im so annoyed we wasn't there my dad would have LOVED this, I can't even say how much he would enjoy himself...he loves things about ghosts and myths and the haunted mansion so this would have been perfect!!
Thanks for capturing this! Haunted Mansion is my favorite attraction, and I went to college with the woman who played "Madame Leota" in this performance, so I would have liked to have been there in person, but I no longer live in So Cal, and could not afford the expense involved.
That atmosphere is incredible. They really need to do some of this more often. I've never seen the Halloween overlay, but this seems like it would top it.
This is amazing! I would have hoped that they would keep this the same for the whole year, or at least for a month. Unfortunately, we will be missing this, or already did, but I’m glad it happened.
I like the Nightmare Before Christmas update that they do, but I would prefer to see all of this during the month of October, as well as September and the other related months instead.
Petition for Disney to have the Haunted Mansion look like this at night all the time.
Seriously the best comment suggestion on TH-cam.
It looked so cool!
Troy Lake I’ll sign it.
Where do I sign?
Oh YES PLEASE
Walt Disney’s lamp was especially bright, really adding a cherry on top of the night.
interesting thing as its said walt disney's ghost haunts that place with the lamp
aw i bet disney was really happy to see the haunted mansion come all this way
@@honeyhauntart yeah!
Can someone explain where the lamp is? I dunno where it is, I've only been to the Orlando park.
Commander Jason it’s in the window above the fire station at Disneyland
1:10 Yeah... I tried riding it 50 times. Only got to 13. Also, it was a pleasure meeting you and Fresh Baked at the event!
Event Horizon Poor Dallin couldn’t get 13 rides in
at least the number you stopped at was 13, perfect number for the mansion.
@@memethyst My initial thought after realizing 50 rides was impossible was to ride it 19 times (for 2019) but even that proved to be far too difficult with the time I had
What a chad
you are so lucky i was there but sadly i didnt get to see either
I like that Disney's using Tom Sawyer's Island for more than Fantasmic.
It’s not Tom sawyers it’s pirate cove and you can go on it always lol wrong!!
@@disneyforlife2466 Okay. I always thought it was called Tom Sawyer's island.
sebastian banguis I’m with you buddy. I still call it Tom Sawyer‘s Island. I’m not into the whole re-branding thing for it.
@@kmaprod Besides, it would feed into the old theming of Frontier land. Beck then it was themed to legends of the old west. So retheming it, or renaming T9m Sawyer Island to Pirates cove doesn't really do anything except promote the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.
sebastian banguis ya but it’s a great Book/Tom sawyer and I liked it much better but pirates of the Caribbean is a good ride too
My jaw dropped when the knight moved. Live actors in the Haunted Mansion again! That's awesome!
Here’s hoping for a 60th anniversary that I can get out there for.
yea same here my dude.
Same I'm a poor Midwestern blue collar even at 19 :p
I'm hoping for a 100th anniversary. I'll be 94, but I think it's doable. Worst case scenario, I really do become the 1000th haunt ;)
Same
Same
I shouldn't be this excited about an amusement park ride. You've done this to me and I've never been happier.
Not just an amusement park! An adventure through time, space, and different dimensions!
I have an impossible dream of seeing all old ride effects live again so I fangasmed so hard when I saw the knight the first time. The other two were completely amazing too. The deadpan parade was completely hilarious
Nothing is impossible - with $$$ and an annual pass for every year they celebrate an attraction like this! XD
Oh my god. My bf and I FREAKED. We were at the front of our stretching room group, and since the line was so short we were able to walk on from there so the knight was totally still until we were right in front of it. That was probably my favorite thing from the whole night.
They got alive actors again *THEY GOT ALIVE ACTORS AGAIN*
THEY GOT ALIVE ACTORS AGAIN!!!
Right?! I was freaking out XDD
Are they truly living though? 👻
HOLY HATBOX GHOST!!!
If they had ezra I WOULD, "DIE"!
It’s pretty fascinating to see a ride to have grown so much. I do hope it continues to grow more as the years go by. Like Walt said “Disneyland will never be completed”
"as long as there is imagination left in the world"
Amazing
I like Haunted Mansion Holiday, but Disneyland should leave it like this for the spooky season.

Anna Robbins yeah just have the layout for Christmas, and add a Halloween layout for the ride.
Dallen- I’m gonna do it
Future Dallen- no he wont
The live actors should be a permanent part of the ride.
So long as they don't have to worry about getting attacked by startled guests or having to unfortunately pry apart snogging couples ruining the ride experience for everyone else by trying to get it on unseen whilst in the creepy dark ride's pitch blackness (except for those times when it relies on blue UV light for special effects) again like they had to (these instances took place right before the Living Knight aspect was removed entirely due to safety concerns & cost cutting measures), I'm up for it.

Agreed.
Chashu ramen is the best.
I wanna go to disney
mind as well
Lucky.
Finally the living knights are back!!!!!!!!
I wonder how Jean Lafitte celebrated?
just for that event i believe
*spoilers*
Jean Lafitte is the knight
Jean Lafitte made the Haunted Mansion in Disneyland wonderful, WDW needs him
Avery The Cuban-American nah
who jean lafitte?
@@MsDisneylandlover let us tell you a tale as old as offhand Disney
50 years and they still haven't found their one thousandth ghost 🤔
Whats the story behind that 1000th ghost stuff?
@@SnakeEyesOfficial42 The Mansion has 999 ghosts and they want one more to make it a thousand happy haunts within the mansion.
So theyre gonna kill somebody just to make it an even number!?
Joshua West probably not, but I hear they’ll take any volunteers

SAME but I didn’t realize it until today.
Asher Keeling Ahahaha, at least I wasn't the only one!
The fact that I'll most likely be alive when the manor turns 100 years makes me very happy.
Ommgg, I think that was Cory Burton voicing the ghost host in the beginning, he's a perfect choice for a modern ghost host voice actor
Yes, he's a...DEAD RINGER for the late, great Paul Frees.
He also did the narration for HMH and voices Ludwig von Drake, another Paul Frees character!
A mint julep? To summon the ghost of Blanche Devereaux?
Michèl de Jong Either her or Scarlett O’Hara
@@lilsisasu They're practically the same woman :-)
Y E S Blanche would so try to hook up with the ghost host
@@randomecorner I mean you're not wrong
Haunted Mansion will forever be one of the greatest Disney rides in history!
Also did they combine Paul Frees and Corey Burton as the voice of the Ghost Host for this? There are parts where I hear Corey but some of it sounds like Paul.
I’m pretty sure it’s just Corey Burton, since most of the opening show seamed to be original.
Jesus I'm old. I was there when it opened.
Jean Lafayette is 13 letters Offhand Disney is 13 letters

When the crypt doors creak
And the tombstones quake
Spooks come out for a singing wake
Happy haunts materialize
And begin to vocalize
Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize
Now don't close your eyes
And don't try to hide
Or a silly spook may sit by your side
Shrouded in a daft disguise
They pretend to terrorize
Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize
As the moon climbs high o'er dead oak tree
Spooks arrive for the midnight spree
Creepy creeps with eerie eyes
Start to shriek and harmonize
Grim grinning ghosts come out socialize
When you hear the knell of a requiem bell
Weird glows gleam where spirits dwell
Restless bones etherealize
Rise as spooks of every size
Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize
Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize

This is why the haunted mansion is my favorite 😭💀😍 Walt Disney would be so proud! He put so much effort and love into this ride! I wish he could have seen it 😭😭
Actually, no he didn't. He died before the walkthrough idea was abandoned in favor of it being a dark ride using omnimovers (renamed to doombuggies).
I went on the 10th instead of the 9th but to see so many people rocking 50th merch made me realize how impactful this ride truly is
We celebrate 50 years of the mansion by making the Nightmare Before Christmas a permanent IP overlay
Perfect marriage of two great properties.
@@Homeschoolsw6 No. We don't want the holiday overlay to completely replace the original! Are you daft?!
Oh I thought it would be closed and turned into a marvel themes ride
I love your channel! I live in Oklahoma and its had to be a Disneyland nut when I can't go. Your channel helps. :)
Yup sure does I live in Oklahoma too and a huge disney nut
It would have been super amazing if SOMEHOW they found the original Hatbox ghost and placed it in the mansion for it's one day 50th anniversary, but considering how we still don't know where Hatty ran off to, I doubt we'll ever find him.
Although I'm wondering if maybe hatty maybe got re-purposed into another animatronic after it's mysterious removal the rough week after opening. Considering it would make a bit of sense. The only problem would be trying to figure out what animatronic resembles hatty form in the attractions from that point in time.
Your one of my favorite Disney youtubers!
Haunted Mansion will always be my favorite ride. It's the first ride I go on. Have not been in years 😭
Awesome post!! I’ve done Disney overnight like that....nothing better. Thanks for taking us along.
That looked like a really cool opening show to watch in person! It's nice how Disney goes all out in their celebrations!
ima start calling the dapper dans in this "the undead dans" 😂
also oh my gosh this was so amazing i wish i could have been there ahh
They're already called the CADAVER DANS officially when they dress as ghosts.
I knew you'd do a video on the haunted mansion, and I've been waiting for it
THANK YOU!! I am grateful I could live vicariously through you!!
While you were watching the opening ceremony at the riverfront, I was making my first of only two rides that night. The Knight was positioned against the right hand wall when I went through, so I didn’t see him until he stepped out into his attack pose. It was an awesome reason to jump in my seat. I only got to ride it once more, because there was so much to do!
By the way, it was nice meeting you at the check in that morning, for as quick a meeting as it was.
Love the ride despite never being able to ride it save through videos... one day though... but anyway. Dude, Where did you get those shoes and where can I get them?
AHHHHHH OFFHAND DISNEY AND FRESHBAKED???? I’m dying sorry they’re both my faves😍😍😍
what's crazy man is I was there that day and had no idea it was going on. I grew up about a mile from the front gates and I went there nearly every day of my childhood, I basically lived there and now I live so far away I can only go once every couple years. But this was my one day back in a long time, and it just happened to be the same day! Now I know why all those people had 50th anniversary tags around their necks and why when I stood on my grandma's front porch i heard extra spooky stuff way after the nightly fireworks show. So cool!
I just have one question, Where did you get the shoes? 😍
I love the haunted mansion 😊🎃👻
Happy Birthday Haunted Mansion!!! :D I am a very big fan of The Haunted Mansion and Bug Thunder Mountain Railroad as well! I’m glad to see one of my favorite ride is all time at Disney turn 50!
This is pretty cool. Its relaxing and nastolgic to watch. Just discovered this channel and I realized how much I kinda miss going to Disneyland. I wish I was there for the event
good camera action n i loved the ghost at the table
Everyone is so quiet during the performances. A little revelry might have...livened things up.
It's called respect for the dead. XD Besides, noises not part of the festivities would be wrongfully distracting.
@@TherealRNOwwfpooh but a spirited performance should always be applauded.
@@StillNotYourSenpai The crowd did cheer & applaud after the riverside song & dance was over, it was just drowned out by the music & firework pyro effects.
So much feels watching this! So much feels! I wish I got to see this event in person, but this video is amazing!
Ahhh I’m so early! I’m taking this advantage to tell you how much I love your channel! I could watch it all day it’s spooky and Disney and that’s like my two favorite things. Keep it going cuz it’s amazing!
I’ve come here to say that I managed to ride the Haunted Mansion (in Walt Disney World) 13 times over the course of 3 Magic Kingdom days.
The first: 2
The second: 5 in a row +1
The third: 5 but spread out
By the time I was done, Ghost Host’s voice was seared into my mind, the Grim Grinning Ghosts song echoed in places it wasn’t being played, and the hitchhiking ghosts always remained behind my eyes.
I broke out into maniacal laughter after the final ride. Was it joy? Relief? Insanity? Maybe all three. But I did it. The goal was accomplished, and despite it all, The Haunted Mansion remains my favorite ride.
They need to do this more often or make it part of the Not-So-Scary (With less things to not take away from the anniversary nights, of course) because... It's... It's so beautiful...
Most impressive video and coverage of the event...thank you!!!
I literally cried watching this.
ugh im so annoyed we wasn't there my dad would have LOVED this, I can't even say how much he would enjoy himself...he loves things about ghosts and myths and the haunted mansion so this would have been perfect!!
Where’d u get the shoes from?
That’s such a fun show! Great video 👍🏻
Wow! MARC-ing amazing! First a haunted Mansion show and the ride? The lights in the show are so beautiful!
Thanks for capturing this! Haunted Mansion is my favorite attraction, and I went to college with the woman who played "Madame Leota" in this performance, so I would have liked to have been there in person, but I no longer live in So Cal, and could not afford the expense involved.
This.
Was.
AMAZING,
So good
I love how they had the fountains dance in tempo with the music at the beginning! One second off, and the effect would have been ruined.
god PLEASE let Disneyland Paris do this for Phantom Manor’s birthday. happy birthday Haunted Mansion glad youre still haunting 50 years on ❤️
Looks like a great time. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Dallin! Great coverage! Loved the live actor in the Ballroom best- I could watch him all night.
Love all the shows thanks for sharing. Really wish I could have gone. Would be awesome if the cadaver dans could sing in the queue at night.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for the awesome video! Especially for the “live” shows!!! I really feel like I was there with you!😎
So awesome to hear Corey Burton doing the voice overs.
That atmosphere is incredible. They really need to do some of this more often. I've never seen the Halloween overlay, but this seems like it would top it.
This is amazing! I would have hoped that they would keep this the same for the whole year, or at least for a month. Unfortunately, we will be missing this, or already did, but I’m glad it happened.
I like the Nightmare Before Christmas update that they do, but I would prefer to see all of this during the month of October, as well as September and the other related months instead.
Thank you for filming this for everyone out there! This is awesome!
Outstanding!!
Thanks for the video!!
