Here is a ride-through of Haunted Mansion Holiday with the LIGHTS ON! Something malfunctioned while we were trying to ride Haunted Mansion Holiday on Friday, causing the lights to come on and the music to shut off. For some reason, we were not evacuated from the attraction. Instead, we were sent through the entire attraction with the lights on and the effects clearly visible. What an interesting way to ride Haunted Mansion Holiday!

We are not sure what the cause of the attraction failure was, but it happened twice during our visit. The footage from the loading ramp is from the second time we tried to ride it. The ride shut down right as we were about to get on, and we were escorted out through a door. Most of the video is made up from footage shot earlier in the morning, during the first shutdown. There was no communication from Cast Members at any point during the ride. The attraction stopped, the lights went out (almost like a power outage), and then the work lights turned on and the ride started. Hopefully, this will get sorted out soon! However, we're glad we got a look at some backstage Disney magic! It helps you appreciate the details that make up this classic attraction.
