It’s been half a century since the grim grinning ghosts took up residence at the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland and it’s time to celebrate with a ghoulish bash and of course, plenty of spooktacular souvenirs.
Guests at both Disneyland and Disney World will have the chance to commemorate this very special anniversary beginning Aug. 9 with an incredible limited edition collection featuring apparel, accessories, collectibles and more. If you just can’t get enough of those hitchhiking ghosts, you can start by taking one home with you in a jar.

The Host A Ghost! glass jar allows you to conjure up your ghoulish pals at home thanks to a little magic from Madame Leota. The ghost selection includes Constance Hatchaway, Professor Phineas Plump, The Hatbox Ghost and more.
It wouldn’t be a Disney Parks event without special ears and you can score from a selection of commemrative ear hats and headbands. They’ll pair perfectly with Haunted Mansion Anniversary t-shirts and a Dooney & Burke collection of handbags.
You’ll also find jewelry collections by PANDORA and ALEX and ANI, commemorative pins, a toy replica of a doom buggy and so much more. One of the best pieces by far, however, is a FunkoPop collab featuring a miniature version of the all knowing Madame Leota inside her crystal ball.
Guests will also be treated to sweets like the Host-A-Ghost chocolate cupcake made with a dark chocolate truffle filling, crispy pearls, buttercream icing and milk chocolate decoration. You can also take home a special ghostly photo with Disney PhotoPass Magic Shots.
All of the merchandise will be available at select retailers at Disneyland and Disney World beginning Aug. 9 as long as supplies last.
