Haunted Mansion Holiday 2016 - Disneyland - 09.24.16


Well I'm back from my Halloween trip to Disneyland. I had seven great, fun-filled days at the California parks. I also made a visit to Knott's Berry Farm and was able to ride all their coasters in two hours. But more on that on a later post. For now I wanna share one of the many videos I made while at Disneyland. As you know it is Halloween time at Disneyland and one of my favorite things about this time of year is the Nightmare Before Christmas lay-over of the classic Haunted Mansion attraction, also know as Haunted Mansion Holiday. This is a great way to connect the Halloween holiday to the Christmas holiday. This is one of the things I ALWAYS look forward to when I'm at Disneyland for Halloween. On this trip, I think I saw Haunted Mansion Holiday about 20 times. I did film the attraction a few times and I wanna share one of those videos. This video was filmed using my Samsung Note 5 phone. It did a really great job of capturing all of those crazy details. New for the 2016 edition is the addition of a Sally animatronic. This is simply AMAZING to see, I always wanted to see Sally in this over-lay instead of just the mini Sally that is seen at the exit of the ride. And it finally has happened!!! Sally just looks lovely. They did a great job with her, especially her eyes and legs. Wait till you see her in the video. She is featured in the Graveyard scene, right after you see Jack Skellington. Also this year there's a new gingerbread house that is based on the Sally doll. Its a patch-work, stitched gingerbread house that has a trapped ghoul inside. You have to see it, the detailing is pretty cool. This is the 15th year that Haunted Mansion Holiday features a haunted gingerbread house. So without further adieu, here is the Haunted Mansion Holiday of 2016. Enjoy!!!
