The opening of Madame Leota's Somewhere Beyond treated the theme park's holiday visitors to a spirited surprise.
The shop, which pays haunting homage to the Haunted Mansion's famous medium, was part of the ride's outdoor reimagining, a major renovation that began in early 2024Haunted Mansion Holiday, the attraction's seasonal overlay, is on view through Jan. 6, 2025; the original Haunted Mansion experience will return a little later in 2025
The ride, which features Doom Buggies ferrying guests through a cavernous manse and graveyard, first opened in 1969, but fresh and frightful additions have often graced its ghostly footprint. Set to open at some point during the 2024-2025 winter season, Madame Leota's Somewhere Beyond made its official debut two days before Christmas 2024.
A portrait of Leota Toombs Thomas,"the Disney Imagineer whose likeness was used to bring Madame Leota to life," is on prominent display in the shop; other items, like a bat lamp previously seen in the Le Bat En Rouge shop in New Orleans Square, add to the atmosphere.
