Hiya Angela,
Welcome to planDisney! I'm grateful that the happy haunts have brought your excellent question; as a lover of all things the Haunted Mansion, I'm excited to answer it.
Being able to experience the
Haunted Mansion Holiday overlay has been at the top of my Disney wish list for a long time. Hopping into that Doom Buggy is already a treat, but it is extra special when Jack Skellington gets involved. As you may know, every summer, the Ghost Host closes the Haunted Mansion to prepare for the transition, as the grinning ghosts need time to get ready. This year, the closure will take place from August 9th to August 21st. So I'm sad to say that the ride will be unavailable for your entire anniversary trip (it is scheduled to reopen on August 22nd).
I'm so sorry I don't have happier news to share, Angela. I know it isn't the same, but make sure to check out
Madame Leota's carriage house during your visit. While the main mansion will be closed, the carriage house will remain open to showcase the wares from regions beyond. Additionally, since you're celebrating your love story, be sure to pick up a celebration button during your visit. Cast Members (and other Guests) love to celebrate special occasions, and wearing the button helps them recognize the special occasion. I hope you have a fantastic anniversary. Hurry back to see
us if you have any additional questions. There is always room for one more question here.
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
