When 2 Holidays Collide...

In Celebration of both halloween and Christmas, Disneyland Park in Anaheim has decked the halls of the Haunted Mansion for the holidays in a style inspired by Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas again! The attraction (Haunted Mansion Holiday) will stay in "holiday" mode with spiders, skulls, Jack-o-lanters, and creepy crawlies of every description through the Christmas season, and features Jack (AKA Sandy Claws), Zero, Sally & Oogie Boogie in all their yule finery. In addition, there are twisted Christmas Carols being played over the P.A. system while you wait in line with lyrics posted on the lamp posts so you can sing a long!. This event started in 2001, and is always a hit with locals and tourists alike - best bet is to get a FastPass early in the day...

And enjoy it while you can, there are rumors circulating that 2006 (next holiday system) will be the last time the NBX overlay will be used.
