Absolutely stunning with the "Nightmare" overlay for Halloween! The outside adds so many Halloween decorations it's hard to even imagine how they get this done in a relatively short amount of time - and the inside... WOW! From the Ghost Hosts to the opening stretching sequence be prepared to go to another level of Disney Imagineering. Lines, of course, but arrive at the opening rope drop and the wait will be mere minutes. Then go again! Indeed THE premier Halloween experience in a park full of holiday magic this is by far a great ride for all ages.

The theme was "The Nightmare Before Christmas." Children-based, and not as scary as the regular theme.

The Baseline: For a theme park attraction, a quality experiences must be provided, the attraction must be fun and engaging, an immersive environment must be established, the queue line must be themed, and safety must be a top priority.
Queue: The line for this ride moves fast but can be long. About 2 years ago the queue space was redone to include new great photo opportunities while you wait. The ride is continuous feed dark ride but groups must take the haunted elevator room down to enter. Overall this is one of the best queues in the park with a ton of fun themed items throughout the wait.
Attraction: This is a classic of a classic Disneyland ride that just binds you to the New Orleans Square portion of the park. It is a dark ride that takes you through a mansion populated by 999 ghosts via your Doom-Buggy. I love this ride and I love this experience. From Halloween season to just past Christmas season you get to experience the “Nightmare Before Christmas” overlay as it takes over the mansion to have added holiday joy throughout the ride as the characters that are normally there are integrated or replaced with The Nightmare Before Christmas characters. Scary Teddy shows up all throughout your Doom buggy journey and locks in the story and experience. It is a great ride to enjoy any time of the year.

What an incredible experience! The outside was decorated with Halloween themes like jack-o'-lanterns. Going inside the mansion felt creepy, and the cast members would put everyone in a small room. The room will then start to sink, changing the stained glass themes to Halloween. Once you leave the room, you're in a hallway with Nightmare Before Christmas portraits. Then, getting on the ride, you have a mix of convincing ghosts and Nightmare Before Halloween events. It was truly a sight to see. 100% worth going!
