If you love going on the Haunted Mansion during the holidays, then you may be wondering what the whole Haunted Mansion Holiday script is.
I’ll give you the full Haunted Mansion Holiday Disneyland script in this post!
The Haunted Mansion attraction at Disneyland gets a makeover during Halloween and Christmas time. It becomes a Disneyland Nightmare Before Christmas Haunted Mansion.
The Haunted Mansion speech is very different for the holiday ride than the normal Haunted Mansion ride script.
It features Jack Skellington quotes and the Ghost Host has different lines, like saying bar instead of safety bar.
The Haunted Mansion Holiday is one of my favorite things that Disney parks do for Halloween and Christmas.
Haunted Mansion Holiday Script
(Guests enter the foyer)
Ghost Host-
‘Twas a long time ago (longer now than it seems),
In a place that, perhaps, you have seen in your dreams.
For the story that you are about to be told
Began in the holiday worlds of old.
I know you’re curious to see what’s inside.
It’s what happens when two holidays collide!
(Guests move into the stretching room)
Welcome, my friends, to our Christmas delight!
Come witness a ghoulishly glorious sight.
It’s time for our holiday tale to begin.
There’s no turning back now—please, come all the way in.
Our holiday tale is a tale that’s quite charming,
But during this season, it’s sometimes alarming.
So relax and reflect, feel free to take pause,
While we tell you a tale about dear Sandy Claws.
(You can hear glass breaking as the room starts stretching)
Ghost Host-
‘Twas the nightmare before Christmas, and all through the house,
Not a creature was peaceful—not even a mouse.
The stockings, all hung by the chimney with care,
When opened that morning would cause such a scare.
The children, nestled all snug in their beds,
Would have nightmares of monsters and skeleton heads. (Laughs.)
(Guests hear glass breaking and can see Jack Skellington and Zero above them)
Jack Skellington-
Happy holidays, everyone! (Laughs.) (scream and crashing, then laughter and singing)

Ghost Host-
Now hurry along. As they say, “Look alive.”
This is one holiday you will want to survive. (Laughs.)
(Guests move into the hallway)
Ghost Host-
Jack Skellington came here from Halloween Town,
You’ll notice his handiwork scattered around.
This year, he’s decided to play Sandy Claws,
But when Halloween creates Christmas… you might see a few flaws.
And now, a dark carriage will take you away.
Sit back, rest in peace, in your black Christmas sleigh.
Your sleigh will accommodate one or two more.
We hope you’re prepared for what Jack has in store.
(Guests get into the Doom Buggies)
Ghost Host-
Don’t pull down the bar—it will float down with ease.
And keep a close watch on all children, please.
All good ghouls and boys must sit safe in their seats,
And keep in their sleigh all hands, arms, legs, or feets. (This is repeated in Spanish)
Ghost Host-
More rapid than vultures, the Mansion was changed.
All was soon covered, adorned, and deranged.
And what, to your wondering eyes, disappears,
Is Jack’s little friend Zero—the ghost dog reindeer!
Nothing here was forgotten—it all looks so pleasant.
“A coffin,” Jack says, “makes a fine Christmas present.” (Laughs.)
A man-eating plant makes a wonderful wreath,
As long as you don’t get caught in its teeth!
Jack’s holiday vision was unlike no other,
So ring out the bells! There’s more cheer to uncover.

Madame Leota-
On the 13th day of Christmas, my ghoul love gave to me
Thirteen rings of power—embracing strength that never ends.
Twelve signs of the zodiac that rule the future and transcend.
Eleven candles floating—their scent of mystery in the air.
Ten telling tea leaves that swirl with secrets yet to share.
On the ninth day of Christmas, my ghoul love gave to me
Nine magic crystals that sparkle with a force that is pure.
Eight balls of knowledge that answer with a truth that is sure.
Seven pearls of wisdom to keep my love bewitched to me.
Six mystic mirrors, reflecting futures yet to be.
On the fifth day of Christmas, my ghoul love gave to me
Five lucky charms, to understand the right from wrong.
Four wheels of fortune, to spin their rich and golden song.
Three life lines—extending help to those in need.
Two passion potions, that love and romance may succeed.
On the first day of Christmas, my ghoul love gave to me
A Star! A brilliant star for my fortune card tree.
(Doom Buggies enter into the ballroom)
Ghost Host-
With some treats and some games, you can make a scene merry.
Why, even a gingerbread house can seem scary!
All at once, happy haunts did materialize,
Like a nightmarish painting by Currier and Ives.
(Doom Buggies enter the attic)
Ghost Host-
A bag full of toys, Jack had slung on his back.
They were strange and bizarre—and on the attack!
(Doom Buggies enter the graveyard)
Ghost Host-
Sandy Claws worked his magic, both outside and in.
But one final touch made his bony face grin.
“Now what better gift on my friends to bestow
Than a graveyard that’s covered in ghostly white snow.”
Jack Skellington-
It’s Christmas! Have you been good this year? Ho-ho-ho! What’s this? Can you believe your eyes? I like this Christmas thing! See Zero—I told you they would like our Christmas! Fruitcake anyone?

Jolly dear old Sandy Claws,
While the graveyard sleeps,
Down the chimney dark and damp,
With your sack, you creep.
Happy haunts materialize
For a swinging wake.
Glowing pumpkins harmonize.

Tied up in a bow.

With the ghostly snow!
