The Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyland in Anaheim, California, will reopen on January 18, 2025 after renovations, featuring new looks and personalities for its main characters. Walt Disney Imagineering updates technology and backstory for Bride in Haunted Mansion, mansion's attic scene reportedly Los Angeles Times January 17th.

The redesigned Haunted Bride scene effectively changes the ride's storyline. The bride is now no longer a murderer but a mourner.

The changes only apply to the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland in California, not Walt Disney World in Florida.
