Haunted Mansion Exterior Refurbishment Progress at Magic Kingdom - February 4 2026
Posted: Friday February 6, 2026 8:45am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Additional scrim has been installed around Haunted Mansion's exterior as refurbishment work expands at Magic Kingdom.

The green covering now extends across a larger portion of the facade. Multiple sections of the building are concealed as crews continue restoration work on the mansion.

The scrim stretches across front-facing portions of the structure, including areas near the main entrance. Coverage extends along the queue line and is visible from multiple vantage points.

No completion timeline has been announced for the exterior project. The ride continues operating throughout the refurbishment period.

The surrounding area shows significant changes from the Cars and Villains Land construction, with cleared trees and construction barriers altering the usual sightlines.

Probably a little while, considering what they're doing.

Any guesses how long this is up? Initially thought it was a quick landscaping upgrade. But as the scrim grew and became themed that makes me think it’s not so quick anymore.

Agreed. Just one of those necessary evils that has to be done. I rather have it under a wrap and scrim every once and awhile than having it fall apart due to neglect.

It is due for replacement.

Since 2007, I've thought the canvas covered portion of the HM queue was temporary.

I actually think it's good they make the effort with the wrap. In a perfect world you'd never see anything blocking the building but it beats scaffolding, a blank wrap and at least from a distance looks more pleasant.
