One of the things I am most excited about seeing at Disneyland is the Haunted Mansion Holiday. The Haunted Mansion isn't very different between Disneyland and WDW. Sure, at the Magic Kingdom, there's been some new enhancements in the cue and a little work on the inside in the last few years, but on the whole it's close. But the Haunted Mansion Holiday overlay is a big difference! I've never seen it, and of course Ross hasn't either. I don't want to ruin it for either of us by posting the ride-through, but I think listening to the soundtrack is a good balance between getting excited and getting spoiled!
(Now, that said, the "Haunted Mansion" at other Disney parks can be quite different. I understand that the Tokyo version is most like the Florida version, and does do a similar Nightmare Before Christmas holiday overlay. Mystic Manor in Hong Kong sounds a little more lighthearted, with an "adventurer" theme, and has much more modern technology. The only one I have visited is Phantom Manor in Paris, which is Western themed and quite cool, but uses a lot of the same show scenes. The story of the bride is a little more pronounced, she is the spirit holding the haunted candelabra! The scenes like the ballroom scene are themed to the Western wedding, and a Western ghost town takes the place of the graveyard, but includes the classic singing busts! This was probably our most-ridden ride at Disneyland Paris... Here's the Manor itself.)
(And here's a scene from the ghost town!)
