SUGAR PLUM FESTIVALS

Tuesday, August 26, 2025

Disneyland's Holiday Mansion just opened last week and here's a sweet little taste of the 2025 Gingerbread House the fills the haunted Ballroom with festive spooky spirit!

The theme?! : A Murder of Crows!

It's a poetic and folk-lore based term for a group of crows.

Click link below for a video of it!

The term likely arose from ancient superstitions and folk tales linking crows to death - as they are scavengers and have been seen around battlefields, gallows, and GRAVEYARDS AND CEMETERIES!

Disneyland has named the display: 
"A Murder So Fowl"

It stands 13 feet tall, there are 13 crows with 4 that move and all their eyes light up and watch Doom Buggies and future residents enter the Ballroom!

Edgar Allan Poe and his dark stories were a huge inspiration for the Imagineers when they were creating the Haunted Mansion, and that inspiration continues today. 

The Holiday Mansion will be open until January 7th, 2026!
