Is it safe to say that Walt Disney World just feels like one massive construction site right now?!

Haunted Mansion

Ok, we may be exaggerating a little bit, but there is a lot of construction happening across the entire resort. That’s only because Disney likes to keep everything in tip-top shape, and they have a TON of new stuff on the way, which we are very excited about. So, we’ll take construction! We’ve been patiently waiting for things to open and for construction to be finished, and we’re happy to report that the scrim is finally DOWN at a popular attraction in Magic Kingdom!

Haunted Mansion had been undergoing a lengthy exterior refurbishment and hiding behind a massive scrim for months. Disney tried their best to make it not seem too weird, as the scrim has a photo of what the Haunted Mansion building looks like. That being said, it did NOT look like the attraction we know and love.

Well, we noticed yesterday that the scrim is finally down! Doesn’t it just look so much better?!

No more scrim!

It’s nice to see Haunted Mansion in all its glory again. Some obvious work has been done on the exterior. The building’s colors have gotten a touch-up, and now the popular attraction is looking refreshed. Some of the stones and other details around the exterior look like they’ve been painted gray instead of the light brown they used to be! Take a look at the before…

…and after!

You can obviously see that work isn’t fully complete yet, as there is still scrim on the bottom part of the railing of the building. Based on the fact that the coloring has changed for other parts of the building, we’re thinking we could be seeing more color changes at the bottom of the building. Maybe to match the new color scheme and vibe of the building.
