Haunted Mansion Liberty Square Magic Kingdom
Widely considered to be one of the best attractions in the Magic Kingdom, the Haunted Mansion is Disney version of a traditional haunted house. Unlike most haunted houses that rely on scare tactics, the Haunted Mansion features an array of impressive illusions. The attraction begins with a ghostly portrait gallery that mysteriously grows, stretching the paintings and revealing some hysterically grim images. After the short walk-through, guests board on “doombuggies” for a ride in the mansion itself. Along the tour visitors can spot ghostly figures dancing in the ballroom, the disembodied Madame Leota spouting incantations from a crystal ball, an attic home to a creepy bride, and a graveyard full of ghostly musicians.
There is no height requirement for this ride.
