Jeepers Creepers

Today I'm sharing the awesome Gingerbread creations created and displayed at Disneyland's Haunted Holiday Mansion!

All themed with spookiness of Nightmare Before Christmas and Haunted Mansion combined!

Disneyland sprays gingerbread scent on the ride for even more enjoyment for the riders!

I wonder what 2024 will be?!

2001: A twisted, monstrous version of the Mansion, with arms hanging off the sides to keep the house balanced. One arm has a cake, which the birthday ghost blows out. Around the Mansion, ghosts can be seen rising out of their graves to join the celebration.

2002: A stack of presents in the shape of the mansion.

**It was so difficult to find a photo of this Gingerbread creation! You'd think Disneyland would have one for archive purposes - NOPE! Sadly the photos I found probably don't do it justice...

IF you find any - please let me know!

2003: Oogie Boogie standing on a roulette wheel with a small gingerbread house in one hand, a bowl of ice cream in the other, and two dice cakes on his leg.

2004: Zero's doghouse with bones for columns. Around the doghouse are various treats for Zero, who appears in front of the house and flies around it before disappearing

2005: A mansion with a man-eating wreath on the front, impaling gingerbread men on the table with forks and knives.

**This was another Gingerbread creation with hard to find photos...

So sad! Again not being able to view it's complete awesomeness!

2006: A mansion with tentacles and snakes coming out of the sides, and skeletal hands prying off the top, like the man in the coffin in the conservatory scene.

**I LOVE THE HUGE HAND ON TOP LIFTING THE ROOF UP AND DOWN!

2007: A mansion jack-in-the-box, with Jack in a jester's hat and two jack-o-lanterns bouncing out of the top and a crank on one side.

2008: A gingerbread coffin, which opens to let the gingerbread zombie inside sit up.

**My LEAST favorite. Although I'm sure it was difficult to suspend Gingerbread with movement - this creation doesn't have an artistic "wow" factor...at least for me.

2009: A scary-go-round, with bone-deer and Zero spinning around.

2010: A mansion shaped like a tombstone with Jack popping out in a similar fashion to the pop-up ghosts in the graveyard. It also features the quintet of singing pumpkins in front.

2011: A mansion that transforms into a hideous monster, with glowing eyes, columns for teeth and a large tongue.

2012: Jack's house on top of a large hill with Zero floating around the top of the tower and a ghost train traveling around the table. The train carries a cupcake, which the birthday ghost blows out whenever it travels to her side of the table.

2013: An advent calendar mausoleum, with thirteen doors. Each week, a new door is opened, and a new cookie with Jack's face is added. The thirteenth door has Jack as Sandy Claws.

2014: An iron maiden like the mansion that opens to reveal a gingerbread man inside.

2015: A massive mansion of cards with spiders being used to lift pieces up like cranes while a construction worker gingerbread man stands around it. The house leans to the side as if threatening to topple over.

2016: A mansion that is similar in appearance to Sally. A ghost's arm protrudes from the mansion's front and its eye can be seen in the upper window. The ghost appears to be sewing itself inside, not unlike the ghost that appears to be walling himself in in the graveyard.

2017: A mansion that's covered in bugs that scurry around as a giant Oogie Boogie stands behind it, having pried the roof open, so he can eat all the bugs.

2018: A gingerbread house decorated for Christmas that is being uprooted by a giant spider.

2019: A mansion with various gingerbread figures of characters from the attraction both on and around it. At the center of the mansion is a man-eating wreath with a large number 50 within its maw to commemorate the Haunted Mansion's 50th anniversary. Figures of the Hatbox Ghost, Pickwick, the Tightrope Walker, Constance Hatchaway, and Madame Leota are seen on the mansion's roof, appearing and disappearing. To the left of the mansion are figures of the Singing Busts and the Hitchhiking Ghosts while the Caretaker and his dog can be seen on the right.

2020: No gingerbread house due to Disneyland's shutdown as a result of COVID-19.

2021: This gingerbread house was a conglomeration of several if not every previous gingerbread house, built to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Haunted Mansion Holiday.
