Updated Haunted Mansion Facade Emerges at Magic Kingdom

Decorative scrim continues to be removed around the Haunted Mansion at Magic Kingdom, revealing the majority of the attraction’s refurbished exterior.

Scrim Removal

Although the attraction was down during our initial visit this morning, July 30, we noticed from afar that the majority of the decorative scrim is now gone from the front of the building. Only scrim on the far lefthand side remains, revealing the Haunted Mansion's refreshed look.

Starting at the top, the cupola dome is back to its green finish, as it had upon opening in 1971. The bricks are also noticeably darker. The stone elements around the building, like the banister and flower pot seen above, also appear to be lighter now. This also points to the color schemes the attraction had in its early years.

The Haunted Mansion has gone through several refurbishments since it opened with Magic Kingdom on October 1, 1971. In the above photo from 1983, we can see that the cupola dome was more of a bronze, though the brick was dark and the stone light around the building.

Over the years, the attraction received a more evened color scheme, which continued until the most recent refurbishment. The even coloration can be seen in the above photo from 2025 before the attraction began refurbishment.
