Splashy New Bar and Restaurant Holbrook House Opens In Downtown SF Next Week With Martini and Champagne Call Buttons
Table Of Content
These are meant to be like quick-service call buttons for these items — they each turn on a different light that summons either the Champagne cart, or the Martini cart, which will come to you for tableside service. It sounds like no one will be asking "gin or vodka?" though, because the cart will just be offering a selection of gins and vermouths, as well as garnishes — which is how it should be. We’re a nonprofit community benefit district working to enhance the downtown core, the traditional Financial District and historic Jackson Square through public/private partnerships, placemaking, activating the public realm, clean and safe operations, marketing support and more. We are the catalyst in building a vibrant community where business gets done, where people come to explore, where everyone feels welcome and memories are made. The ground-floor bar and restaurant is led by Philip Siegel, a veteran of the Julia Morgan Ballroom and the Merchants Exchange Club. The unusual design feature is among the five-star guest amenities built to match the grandeur of the expansive hall built to house a bank at 1 Sansome St. back in 1910.

Lunch, however, is where the more luxe dishes start to come into play, leading into the afternoon. There will be staples, of course, such as four different kinds of salads, four sandwiches, a double patty pork-and-beef burger, and a fried chicken sandwich with kohlrabi slaw on a brioche bun. Larger format dishes will be rotating, but expect items like a Petrale sole or mussels with sungold tomatoes, fennel, white wine, and basil, Stevens says. On the fancier side of things, lunch is where oyster and caviar service begins, with caviar served with deviled quail eggs and duck-fat fried hash browns, rather than the more traditional blini. Crowned by a soaring glass atrium that floods the fully unobstructed 8,100 square feet of primary space with natural light, The Conservatory offers a one-of-a-kind guest experience for the most exclusive weddings, corporate events, nonprofit galas and fundraisers.

Its latest transformation includes an oval-shaped bar, forest green old-fashioned barbershop-style chairs and lots of brass. Besides caviar, expect options such as escargot and a fun “french-fry flight” featuring sweet potato fries and two styles of potato-based fries cut in different ways, served with aioli. The skylighted "conservatory" area just beyond the restaurant can also be transformed into an event space with a capacity of 2,000, and the team says they already have some bookings this fall. The restaurant has been incorporated into the grand "conservatory" of One Sansome, in the 1910 neo-classical building that was originally home to Anglo & London Paris National Bank, and later Crocker National Bank.

The food menu, which will have options from morning to midnight, was created by chef Holly Stevens, a veteran of the kitchens of Aziza, Michael Mina, and Delfina. Seasonal toasts on Josey Baker bread will be part of the morning offerings along with egg dishes and Craftsman & Wolves pastries. Lunch will include a pork-and-beef burger, a fried chicken sandwich, as well as oyster and caviar service that will extend into the evening. Events in the Conservatory’s graceful atrium put guests at the center of it all, in what feels like an elegant outdoor agora, bathed in sunlight yet protected from the elements by sparkling glass above.
The restaurant is part of a $23 million makeover of the lobby at One Sansome that transforms the conservatory into a space that’s open to the public during the day, with the ability to pivot to private events such as weddings and fundraisers. It’s an addition to the bar, inspired by the grand hotels of Europe, says general manager and beverage director Hernan Martinez. The cleverness is fueled even further by the addition of two light switches available at the booths — the flip of one designated switch will turn on a light meant to summon a Champagne cart to your tableside. There are seven different Champagne and sparkling wine options by the glass, four available half-bottles, and a list of 30 producers for the full Champagne menu, Martinez says. For those deciding to flip on the martini switch, there will be a selection of gins and vermouths, a rotating cast of bitters, and house-made garnishes where visitors can pick and choose their accoutrements, or go with the bar’s classic and not-so-classic martinis on offer.

It's part of a $23 million renovation that began last year on this and the 42-story Citibank tower next door. Holbrook House, which we first caught wind of in May of last year, is one of several splashy openings in SF's still beleaguered downtown, with several bar owners and restaurateurs betting big that the area is going to be on the upswing soon. Located in the heart of the San Francisco Financial District within The Conservatory at One Sansome, Holbrook House serves California cuisine that celebrates local and seasonal ingredients. Observers hope it heralds a new era of elegance for the city’s beleaguered Financial District, as Downtown San Francisco strives to cement itself as a high-end nightlife destination, with openings of new venues, including the Dawn Club, Felix and Bar Sprezzatura.

Standing for generations as the nerve center of the San Francisco Financial District, The Conservatory's graceful architecture - punctuated by granite-clad 38-foot Doric columns - and unique indoor/outdoor nature makes the venue one of the City's most coveted gathering spaces. Boasting a standing capacity of more than 2,000 guests, on site-access to BART and Muni, and its position just four blocks from Moscone Center, no other San Francisco event facility is so uniquely prepared to host the most complex and important events. The Conservatory is also the home to the sumptuous and buzzy Holbrook House bar and restaurant, a triumph of design that burst onto the scene in 2023 to universal acclaim.

Martinez says head bartender Simone Mims, who’s previously worked at Palette, Foreign Cinema, and Blackbird, has had an impact on the cocktail menu, which will have 16 drinks to start, beyond the aforementioned martinis. The cocktails will be a play on classic drinks such as the Key, which incorporates cognac and scotch, together with Strega, an amaro, and orange bitters, meant to be a play between a Manhattan and a negroni. Off the cocktail menu, there will be a mix of wine options, from well-known producers like Matthiasson Wines to up-and-coming wineries or natural winemakers like Jolie-Laide, with bottles that start in the $40 range, and glasses that start at $12. There will be a rotating beer tap of local brands such as Fort Point Beer Company, Original Pattern Brewing, and more, as well as a Mims Cup, a play on Mims’ name and the Pimms cup, made with Pimm, strawberry, cucumber, and ginger ale, also served on tap. There are also some nonalcoholic drink options, featuring house-made infusions that will be made throughout the year, such as a tea infusion and a hibiscus infusion for drinks.
With over 20 years in the culinary industry, Holly stands at the forefront of Culinary Services at Holbrook House, the Conservatory, and One Sansome. A San Francisco native, Holly's passion for the culinary arts was ignited early, driving her to master her skills at the renowned California Culinary Academy. Her journey saw her at the helm in James Beard award-winning restaurants and Michelin-starred establishments, including Bar Agricole, Delfina, Aziza, and Michael Mina. Notably, as the executive chef at Trou Normand, she initiated one of the Bay Area's pioneering in-house charcuterie programs. Now, as the Director of Culinary Services, Holly continues to captivate with her innovative use of local ingredients and her deep appreciation for seasonal flavors. The Holbrook House is the beating heart of the reborn San Francisco Financial District; a sophisticated throwback to a gilded era.
Hernan, originally from San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, and proud of his LatinX heritage, brings a rich cultural background and a passion for gastronomy to his career in the hospitality industry. With extensive experience in renowned establishments such as Eleven Madison Park, Maison Premiere, and Cosme, Hernan has honed his skills as a General Manager and Beverage Director. He has received accolades for his own restaurant, Hampton Street Vineyard, and has recently joined Cotogna in San Francisco. With his expertise and unwavering commitment to excellence, Hernan now takes on the role of opening General Manager and Beverage Director at Holbrook House, poised to make a significant impact in the industry. Stevens tells Eater, "We want to be a place that people can go, at any time of day," and there will be dishes of different price points available for all meals and appetites.
As the Chronicle tells us today (Eater got in for some early pictures as well), the elegant, fern-topped central bar at Holbrook House seats 24 people, and in addition to 60 table seats, there are 24 more in an outdoor patio area. We lead the way in building a thriving downtown where business gets done, people feel welcome, come to explore, and make memories. The Conservatory at One Sansome, which has often had palm trees in it, is also one of San Francisco’s privately owned public open spaces, or POPOs—and Holbrook House will spill into it when the venue opens Sept. 6. All the tables in the 60-seat dining room at Holbrook House have little switches built into them, one saying Martini, the other Champagne.

In keeping with the lifestyles of FiDi workers, breakfast will have a number of options, whether it’s a grab-and-go Craftsman and Wolves pastry and Sightglass Coffee to take back to a work desk, or something more substantial to eat at the restaurant or in the atrium. There will also be yogurt and granola, fruit, and a seasonal toast, such as a tomato toast served on bread from Josey Baker Bread. Three egg dishes are also featured on the menu, as well as heavier, brunch-like options, such as a duck fat hash served with duck confit and poached eggs, or a pork schnitzel with a fried egg, if diners want to linger over breakfast.

Flip the switch (left for bubbly, right for gin), and a globe-shaped bulb illuminates, prompting a bartender to wheel over a 1920s-era vintage cart with seven kinds of sparkling wine by the glass ($14 to $58 for Dom Perignon) to complement the upscale American menu. The martini cart offers an array of gins and vodkas, with garnishes for the bartender to prepare your cocktail tableside ($16 and up). Holbrook House, the swanky bar and restaurant that opened Wednesday in the Financial District, has marble floors and two-person booths upholstered in blue satin. Guests dining at select tables need only flip a switch to call for Champagne or another martini. One of the most historic spaces in Downtown San Francisco will soon have an ultra-luxe tenant with capacity for as many as 2,000 guests, when restaurant and events venue Holbrook House takes up residence in early September.

It always helps to have a gimmick when you're opening something new in this town, and the minds behind Holbrook House — the grand new restaurant opening September 6 in the old bank building at One Sansome — have come up with a clever one.

To your martini service, add a caviar "bump," a $10 serving of fish eggs from the California Caviar Company scooped onto the back of your hand (to be eaten, not snorted). A 2022 San Francisco Chronicle article teased the project, with Spiegel calling it an alternative to the neighborhood’s hotels—a Gatsby-esque destination where people drink martinis and champagne.

Delmonico's Steakhouse
Table Of Content
Instead, the dining room is a tableau of Fidi bankers, tourists, and, if you eat here after 9pm, a few May-December arrangements. If you go into this Fidi institution—which reopened in 2023 after a three-year hiatus—completely unaware of its past, you’ll still have a solid steakhouse meal. (Even as you wonder why someone is serving you baked Alaska in the 21st century.) But you’ll appreciate Delmonico’s a lot more if you buy into the lore. Access to exclusive tables at prime times at coveted restaurants around the world. Delmonico's Steakhouse features Prime Steaks, Fresh Seafood and Italian Classics.
It was the first restaurant in New York to offer food à la carte
Perhaps the most luxurious event the brand catered was Alva Vanderbilt's famous masquerade ball, held in 1883. Thrown at her new house on Fifth Avenue, the ball welcomed 1,200 guests, each in costume. Delmonico's served an impressive menu that included favorites of the day such as terrapin, fried oysters, and sandwiches.
The Resy Guide to Outdoor Dining in New York
The New York Times' first restaurant review was published in 1859 and featured a round-up of the city's leading institutions, including Delmonico's. One of the unnamed reporter's first comments revolves around the steakhouse's reputation as a fine-dining destination. They note that such a reputation makes for intimidating dining; Delmonico's waiters were known to sneer if patrons asked for a low quality wine or did not order their dishes in the "correct" sequence. That being said, once patrons had ordered, they could expect the best service imaginable.
All About Only Love Strangers, Opening Soon on the Lower East Side
In The New York Times' 1859 review, it's suggested that the restaurant located in Broadway demanded an annual rent of $10,000, over $375,000 today. The most popular of all Delmonico's vegetable dishes spotlights the humble potato. Delmonico's potatoes, as the dish was known, was a simple dish of mashed potatoes covered in breadcrumbs and melted cheese. It was beloved by many patrons, most notably President Abraham Lincoln. Prior to Delmonico's, most Americans ate a cold, packed lunch — usually sandwiches they'd prepared in the morning. However, the restaurant's location in New York's commercial district soon saw locals exchanging their sandwiches for sit down, hot lunches consisting of French classics.
Lamb Chops
During this event, various dishes were served, including salmon à la Rothschild, pigeon, and duck. This decadent feast supposedly cost Peto $20,000 — that's over $380,000 in today's money. It does very well with marinades and makes a great cut for tacos, whether you treat it as a slow-cooked meat or grill it. There's one steak cut, though, that's more recent — way more recent — to the point where it's barely older than the iPod. This is the flat iron steak, which isn't just one of the best cuts of steak for a dinner party, but also a triumph of meat science. Incredibly, those intrepid meat researchers succeeded beyond anyone's wildest dreams.
Old Homestead Steakhouse
The only universal feature of these variations is that they are at least 2 inches thick. The Delmonico steak served at Delmonico's, an impressive 18-ounce cut of boneless ribeye, is easily that thick. It is priced at $75 and is still deemed the restaurant's specialty.
Eating at Delmonico's was a grand experience
Thankfully, plenty of sources survive from this time, allowing us to paint a picture of what eating in America's first steakhouse was like. Ranhofer was a French chef who had learnt his trade in Paris. After moving to the United States, he soon found himself working at Delmonico's where he gained a reputation as America's first superstar chef. Ranhofer's excellent cooking was one of the main reasons he attained such fame.
What It Was Like To Eat At The First Steakhouse
All guests were escorted to the dining room where they enjoyed dishes including filet mignon, grouse, and chicken consommé. Other common practices that patrons thought uncivilized, such as the ringing of a gong to announce the serving of food, were abandoned in Delmonico's in favor of European etiquette. This made dining at Delmonico's a rare and impressive experience. This review also provides some insight into the astounding prices Delmonico's was charging only 30 years after being founded. At this time, meals ranged in price from $5 a head without wine, to $50 a head including wine. If inflation is taken into account, these sums are approximately $188 and $1,881 respectively.
Delmonico’s claims to have invented this legendary lobster dish, but there are apparently a few ships and one salty sea captain who’d say otherwise. The seafood dish is thickened with egg yolks and cream, then spiked with cognac, and gets its bright red color from lobster coral. Delmonico’s was founded in 1827 as a bakery by a pair of Italian-Swiss brothers, Giovanni and Pietro Delmonico. The original location was razed, another, more grandiose, built, with columns supposedly imported from Pompeii. For a spell, the institution fled north, to 14th and then 44th Streets, then returned south. Conveniently located minutes from the crossroads of I-480 & I-77 on the busting hub of Rockside Road, it is the perfect location for business lunches and group meetings.
Soon after it opened in 1827, the café became a valued part of New York's nascent dining scene. Delmonico’s is frequently billed as America’s first restaurant. Before Delmonico’s it was all lunch-pails and cold sandwiches at lunch, and perhaps an oyster refectory or two. And Delmonico’s is still there, still in downtown Manhattan, down where the city grid goes cockamamie and mountains of money are made, where steaks are cut thick and the lobster comes coddled in a puff pastry. In 1860, the restaurant held an event for some 3,000 people, one of which was Albert Edwards, Prince of Wales. Famously, the evening began with part of the building's dance floor collapsing.
It seems unlikely that today’s Hudsons, Grants, and Taylors will frequent Delmonico’s. For one, that pied à terre apartment has been turned, like the rest of the building, into luxury condos. For another, the Continental cuisine offered by Delmonico’s is no longer the preferred cuisine of the famous and semi-famous, having been replaced by a sort of hyperbolic social media-friendly maximalism. (We see you, Bad Roman.) It’s all neon lights and monstera now. Max Tucci is the modern proselytizer for what he calls “the Delmonico way.” He’s an author who loves spinning tales of Delmonico’s in its glory years.
The balls often involved a nine course Delmonico's supper that was served on gold plates. One of the Patriarch Balls, held in 1882, featured exquisite dishes such as truffled turkey, foie gras pâté, and truffled capons. Due to Ranhofer's creativity, patrons at Delmonico's were treated to a menu rich in innovation. This proved to be as great an allure as the promise of exceptional steaks. Indeed, Delmonico's was famed for its ability to serve hundreds of guests with distinctly elaborate dishes, making it the foremost establishment when one aimed to impress.
This multipage document offers a rare insight into dishes offered by America's first steakhouse. Unsurprisingly, beef plays a central role with various types of boiled beef, beef steak, tenderloin, and tongue being listed. Other familiar items include fried chicken, lamb chops, and breaded veal cutlets. Of course, this early menu also lists some dishes that contemporary Americans regularly eschew, such as fried calf's brains and stewed hare. Aside from the grandness of the dining room, the restaurant's team of trained waiters, and the food itself, the most surprising aspect of Delmonico's was the menu. Up until this point, those in New York were used to having only a single option when eating out; most taverns served the one dish the owner decided to prepare that day.

Another was his willingness to create dishes that catered to the tastes and whims of his regular patrons. The chef's creations included the now famous chicken à la king and lobster Newburg. Some people even suggest Ranhofer created the popular dessert, baked Alaska. As we've seen, dining at Delmonico's was an expensive business with patrons being charged over $1,750 when splashing out. Those wishing to hire out Delmonico's had to be prepared to spend even more. This was highlighted by a banquet held by Sir Samuel Morton Peto in 1865 at the steakhouse.

The swanky retro-design with luxurious furnishings and romantic mood lighting makes you feel as if you are in a 1950's Manhattan Supper-Club. Conveniently located in the center of Northeast Ohio at the bustling crossroads of Rockside Road and Interstate 77, Delmonico’s is the perfect place to connect with friends, family, or colleagues. Thin, crispy “prosciutto chips” are arranged around the chunk of lettuce, as if shielding it from view during a costume change. It sits on a bed of extra tangy bleu cheese from New Zealand, and comes with yuzu honey vinaigrette. If you weren’t already looking at a picture of it, this crab cake would surprise you. Lump Maine crab meat is wrapped up inside a mound of crispy potato strings woven together like a basket.

Max Tucci is the modern proselytizer for what he calls “the Delmonico way.” He’s an author who loves spinning tales of Delmonico’s in its glory years.
Oscar's Wedge Salad
Soon after it opened in 1827, the café became a valued part of New York's nascent dining scene. Delmonico’s is frequently billed as America’s first restaurant. Before Delmonico’s it was all lunch-pails and cold sandwiches at lunch, and perhaps an oyster refectory or two. And Delmonico’s is still there, still in downtown Manhattan, down where the city grid goes cockamamie and mountains of money are made, where steaks are cut thick and the lobster comes coddled in a puff pastry. In 1860, the restaurant held an event for some 3,000 people, one of which was Albert Edwards, Prince of Wales. Famously, the evening began with part of the building's dance floor collapsing.
Delmonico’s claims to have invented this legendary lobster dish, but there are apparently a few ships and one salty sea captain who’d say otherwise. The seafood dish is thickened with egg yolks and cream, then spiked with cognac, and gets its bright red color from lobster coral. Delmonico’s was founded in 1827 as a bakery by a pair of Italian-Swiss brothers, Giovanni and Pietro Delmonico. The original location was razed, another, more grandiose, built, with columns supposedly imported from Pompeii. For a spell, the institution fled north, to 14th and then 44th Streets, then returned south. Conveniently located minutes from the crossroads of I-480 & I-77 on the busting hub of Rockside Road, it is the perfect location for business lunches and group meetings.

The balls often involved a nine course Delmonico's supper that was served on gold plates. One of the Patriarch Balls, held in 1882, featured exquisite dishes such as truffled turkey, foie gras pâté, and truffled capons. Due to Ranhofer's creativity, patrons at Delmonico's were treated to a menu rich in innovation. This proved to be as great an allure as the promise of exceptional steaks. Indeed, Delmonico's was famed for its ability to serve hundreds of guests with distinctly elaborate dishes, making it the foremost establishment when one aimed to impress.
Thankfully, plenty of sources survive from this time, allowing us to paint a picture of what eating in America's first steakhouse was like. Ranhofer was a French chef who had learnt his trade in Paris. After moving to the United States, he soon found himself working at Delmonico's where he gained a reputation as America's first superstar chef. Ranhofer's excellent cooking was one of the main reasons he attained such fame.
The New York Times' first restaurant review was published in 1859 and featured a round-up of the city's leading institutions, including Delmonico's. One of the unnamed reporter's first comments revolves around the steakhouse's reputation as a fine-dining destination. They note that such a reputation makes for intimidating dining; Delmonico's waiters were known to sneer if patrons asked for a low quality wine or did not order their dishes in the "correct" sequence. That being said, once patrons had ordered, they could expect the best service imaginable.
All guests were escorted to the dining room where they enjoyed dishes including filet mignon, grouse, and chicken consommé. Other common practices that patrons thought uncivilized, such as the ringing of a gong to announce the serving of food, were abandoned in Delmonico's in favor of European etiquette. This made dining at Delmonico's a rare and impressive experience. This review also provides some insight into the astounding prices Delmonico's was charging only 30 years after being founded. At this time, meals ranged in price from $5 a head without wine, to $50 a head including wine. If inflation is taken into account, these sums are approximately $188 and $1,881 respectively.
Instead, the dining room is a tableau of Fidi bankers, tourists, and, if you eat here after 9pm, a few May-December arrangements. If you go into this Fidi institution—which reopened in 2023 after a three-year hiatus—completely unaware of its past, you’ll still have a solid steakhouse meal. (Even as you wonder why someone is serving you baked Alaska in the 21st century.) But you’ll appreciate Delmonico’s a lot more if you buy into the lore. Access to exclusive tables at prime times at coveted restaurants around the world. Delmonico's Steakhouse features Prime Steaks, Fresh Seafood and Italian Classics.

The Dark, Troubled History of Disney's Haunted Mansion
Table Of Content
As one of the original Walt Disney World rides, Haunted Mansion has become iconic, remaining one of Magic Kingdom’s most popular attractions over it’s more than 50 years in operation. In 2003, Disney released a live-action comedic take on the famed attraction starring Eddie Murphy. The film didn’t do great with audiences, but this time Disney wants to turn that around. Haunted Mansion fans are hoping for something with a more serious tone and along the same lines of the Pirates of the Caribbean films- which had the dramatic effect and sprinkled with a bit of comedy. The original Haunted Mansion has become a hit for almost all ages over the years and the attraction has been through some updates and modifications.
Imagineers Fought Over Whether The Haunted Mansion Should Be Scary Or Funny
You’ll encounter ghostly animatronics and special effects as you tour the dark estate. However, Anderson’s plan for a horror-movie mansion wasn’t given the green light by Walt, who wasn’t a fan of having something so run down in his new, modern theme park. After hopping into a ‘Doom Buggy’, guests will take a tour through the ghostly chambers of the Haunted Mansion.

The ride is transformed for the holidays between September and January into a ‘Nightmare Before Christmas’ theme. The song you’ll hear throughout the ride is ‘Grim Grinning Ghosts’. As guests enter through the carriage house, they’ll see the mansion off in the distance. From here, join the interactive queue, filled with tombstones with humorous inscriptions.

The entertainment division, consisting of the company’s TV channels, streaming services and movie studios, brought up the rear at 11%. Over the decades since Walt Disney opened his first theme park in 1955, the company’s tourism business has ballooned to an enterprise worth tens of billions in yearly sales, with sprawling locations in Anaheim, Orlando, Paris, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Tokyo. Disney has not shared exactly how long the Haunted Mansion will be down as it’s under construction. If it is closed the entire time that changes are being made, it might not reopen until later in the year. However, Disney did mention when they shared the 2024 Disneyland events calendar that the Halloween season would feature “uniquely themed attractions,” so we are expecting that the work will be done by the start of the 2024 Halloween season.
Keri Russell, 48, recently handed fans of The Americans a new favorite show with Netflix's The Diplomat, in which she stars as a rugged foreign service officer thrown into the more polished role of U.S. ambassador to the U.K. Newly minted Oscar winner Da'Vine Joy Randolph will join in the weekend festivities as another of ABC News' A-list guests. Fresh off a successful award season for her supporting role in The Holdovers, Randolph, 37, is one of the most exciting names in Hollywood right now.
The Haunted Mansion inspired two similarly themed but distinct attractions, Phantom Manor and Mystic Manor, which exist at Disneyland Paris and Hong Kong Disneyland, respectively. At a time when Disney faces revenue challenges due to cord cutting, streaming wars and a slower film box office, its theme parks are a bright — and reliable — spot for its business. Moreover, they play a major part in the company’s strategy — using well-loved movies to inspire rides and vice versa (think “Pirates of the Caribbean”), feeding an ongoing virtuous cycle. Created in 2005, what started as a tiny central Florida-based website and short weekly podcast that allowed our audience to visit Walt Disney World virtually has grown into the publishing company it is today. We focus on bringing you all things fun so you can plan your theme park vacation, enjoy Disney at home, and more.
In this guide to all things Haunted Mansion, you will learn how the incredible Disney Imagineers took Walt’s vision and turned it into a beloved piece of Disney history that stretches over 50 years. Guests then enter the seance room, where Madame Leota is seen floating and reciting her spell as instruments play. The Doom Buggies enter the ballroom, where ghosts have gathered for a party. Passing by bat-eyed wallpaper that glows in the dark, the guests see the Endless Hallway, but the Hatbox Ghost appears next to it from a blue door, his footprints visible in front of the Hallway. Passing through the conservatory where a corpse tries to get out while crying for help, the guests travel through the corridor of doors. Madame Leota (Eleanor Audley as her voice, Leota Toombs as her face), a blue-haired medium whose disembodied head appears within a levitating crystal ball, summons the Mansion's spirits.
Pictures — which are producing and distributing the film, respectively — are both owned by CNN's parent company, Warner Bros. Orlando theme park lover who loves thrills and theming, with a side of entertainment. You can often catch me at Disney or Universal sipping a cocktail, or crying during Happily Ever After or Fantasmic. We don't yet know the length of the closure coming in January but if the attraction is going to be closed for the entire time that these changes are coming to the park, it could be quite a long closure that stretches further into the year. Some of the changes, which we'll share a little more on below won't be quick and will be structural changes made to the attraction building.
During a New Year's party, Ben Matthias, an astrophysicist developing a camera to detect dark matter, meets ghost tour guide Alyssa and becomes entranced with her belief in the supernatural. Distraught, Ben gives up his career and continues to run her ghost tour. Ben searches famous haunted places looking for signs of his wife, but eventually becomes despondent and depressed after finding no evidence of ghosts. Years later, widowed doctor Gabbie and her son Travis move from New York into Gracey Manor to turn it into a bed and breakfast, only to discover that it is infested with ghosts.
They are two of the most popular attractions ever created, and they exist in one form or another in nearly every Disney parks resort around the world. It's not all happy haunts and moody, grim, grinning ghosts nestled within the walls of Haunted Mansion. The story of Stanfield's Ben, a New Orleans-based inventor and paranormal tour guide, packs the film with an emotional core that will move you to tears by the time the credits roll. Along the way, the grieving Ben reluctantly forges a bond with Gabbie and her son, Travis (Chase W. Dillon), that opens new spiritual pathways he never saw coming, even with the help of his camera that can "see the unseen," as he says.
Despite the universal support for the premise, when Disneyland opened its gates for the first time in 1955, there was no spooky house drawing the attention of visitors as they strolled through New Orleans Square. Now Disney is taking another shot at adapting the Haunted Mansion attraction for the big screen, and with the movie’s release, it’s a fitting time to take a look back at the inspiration for both films, Disneyland's Haunted Mansion. It was the first, it is the most well-known, and despite the rude’s enduring popularity today, it was one of the most difficult attractions in Disney history to actually open.
As Disney takes another shot at turning the Haunted Mansion into a movie, we take a look back and remember how hard it was to get the attraction made in the first place. Haunted Mansion premiered at Disneyland in Anaheim, California, on July 15, 2023, and was released in the United States on July 28 by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. The film received mixed reviews from critics and grossed $118 million worldwide, failing to make back its budget of $150 million. Caitlin is one of The Family Vacation Guide's long standing contributors. She enjoys taking vacation to busy, vibrant cities and has stretched her traveling legs out towards Europe in recent months, enjoying new experiences in Barcelona in Spain, and Nice in France. If you or your children are sensitive to dark spaces or creepy themes, use your judgment if this will be appropriate.

In 2011, the interactive queue was created, featuring tombstones and crypts to honor the original Imagineers.

Disneyland has now released on the refurbishment calendar that the Haunted Mansion will close starting on January 22, 2024. The attraction will remain as the Haunted Mansion Holiday overlay until this date. That means that the attraction will remain open a couple of additional weeks after the official end of the Holidays at Disneyland celebration which is on January 7, 2024.

The attraction concludes with a swing through the family graveyard which is brimming with singing specters. Before boarding your Doom Buggy, you’ll be ushered into the stretching room where you’ll be introduced to the mansion and your host. You’ll first spot the busts of the Dreads, which aren’t just decoration.

Even if you’re not that familiar with the Haunted Mansion as an attraction if you’ve seen the Haunted Mansion movie trailer, then you’ve seen a character called the Hatbox Ghost. He has the ability to transport his head between his neck and a hatbox he’s carrying, and he’s an original part of the attraction... Things became even more complicated in 1966 when Walt passed away, without any final decision being made on which direction to take. In August 2020, it was announced that Katie Dippold signed on to write a new screenplay for the film, after it was decided that Del Toro's script was too scary for family audiences. The project will be a joint-venture production between Walt Disney Pictures and Rideback.[20][21] By April 2021, Justin Simien entered early-negotiations to direct the film,[22] and was officially confirmed as director by July 2021. Unlike with some other haunted houses, no one will jump out to give you a fright!
The ride can be stopped so guests with mobility issues can have more time getting into the Doom Buggy. Disney World’s Haunted Mansion is located in the Magic Kingdom within Liberty Square. You’ll also find other popular rides here, such as the Hall of Presidents and Liberty Square Riverboat. With a deadline of 1963, the attraction was announced in 1961 and construction began a year later. Although the exterior hit its deadline, the interior did not, as Walt was tied up with the New York World Fair.
Best times to visit Disney World in 2024 and 2025
However, some parents do report that teenagers will scream on the ride to be silly, and this may frighten young children more than the ride itself. This is an enjoyable time to visit, but be aware that the ride closes down a couple of weeks before and after this event to set up and pack down. The Haunted Mansion is a popular ride in the Magic Kingdom, and an hour or more wait time is the norm. Therefore, it’s best to get in early or late when the park is less busy—before 11.30am or after 8pm. Like so many Disney rides that have come before it, the Haunted Mansion was the inspiration for a major motion picture.

With new technology and new techniques they acquired from the World’s Fair, Imagineers were able to come up with what is now known as the “doom buggy” for their ride vehicle. For the ghosts, the team worked on many audio-animatronics to bring some after-life to the attraction. But, Crump and Gracey needed a way for these animatronics to appear more ghost-like. So they had to take a page out of the history books to bring one of the most clever uses of this particular technology to the Haunted Mansion.
The Haunted Mansion was an opening-day attraction at Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World, where it is part of Liberty Square. During the production and assembly of the props and audio-animatronics for Disneyland's Haunted Mansion, duplicates of everything were being made for Walt Disney World's Haunted Mansion. It was decided that the Florida version of the attraction would be slightly longer and more elaborate than its California Counterpart with extra scenes such as the library and the music room.
Did you also know that it is the only attraction that stretches across 5 different lands? We’ll tell you which parks have a Haunted Mansion and where to find them. Crump had done some sketches of all things weird and seen all the spooky and scary movies that were coming out at that time for inspiration. Little did he know, that all his sketches would become the inspiration for what would finally become the Haunted Mansion.
Although a large chunk of the queue is covered, it is in the open air which can be uncomfortable on hotter days. Eligible guests can also ride Haunted Mansion during Extended Evening Theme Park Hours. Before we get too far into it, make sure you check out our guide on the Best Rides at Magic Kingdom for information on every attraction and show at Magic Kingdom.
Riding through dark corridors, a show will unfold— using a mix of Disney Audio-Animatronics (robotics animation created by the Imagineers) and special effects. Just like the original attraction, in the queue, you could see headstones inspired by the Imagineers who created the Haunted Mansion. However, later at Disneyland, those headstones were replaced by a pet cemetery scene. At the Magic Kingdom, in 2011, Imagineers altered the queue to make it more interactive for guests. The Haunted Mansion Holiday closes in early January to restore the attraction back to the original Haunted Mansion and reopens late January. Rachel Brosnahan of Marvelous Mrs. Maisel fame will join CNN's entourage on Saturday, April 27, as she prepares to enter the DC Comics Universe with her starring role as journalist Lois Lane in the 2025 Superman reboot.
Local residents steer clear of the dilapidated house, claiming it to be haunted, but any intrepid Disneyland Park visitors who dare to enter will soon discover its terrible secrets. One of the great things about Disney’s Haunted Mansion is the fact that Guests from all over can experience the attraction in similar yet different ways. We’ll also explore how this spooky yet lovable attraction has expanded over Disney Parks around the world and inspired new stories to be told to Guests everywhere.

Deeply reported insights into legislation, politics and policy from Sacramento, Washington and beyond. That’s why local governments hate Grants Pass — most don’t have enough beds, and therefore have to worry about whether they will be sued for making rules, or worse, have courts make them.

So hundreds of homeless folks literally have no other option than to sleep outside. There is also only one privately run shelter, and to be real, it sounds terrible. It requires twice-a-day churching; bans sex, pets and other things people like; and makes residents do chores for hours a day with no pay.
When you’re looking forward to settling into a tavern-inspired ambiance complete with fresh, innovative, and creative fare, there’s no better place to set your sights than Derailed Pour House. The WOSB federal contracting program has become susceptible to abuse and fraud due to a self-certification loophole. Since women- owned small businesses do not have to verify that they are both women-owned and small, large companies are able to self-certify as small businesses to take advantage of the program.
These entrepreneurs drive our economy forward, and when we support them, innovation thrives and the country prospers,” said Rep. Maloy. My colleagues Faith Pinho and Gina Ferazzi went inside an Arizona abortion clinic last week, giving us this excellent insight into the pressures, trauma and hope of a state (and nation) at a crossroads of women’s rights. My takeaway is that if the Supreme Court dives into a ruling about involuntary homelessness, it will be the conservative majority allowing more leniency for government, without allowing the criminalization of homelessness itself. Grants Pass tried to argue Monday its ordinances were for everyone, not just homeless people. Then it got sued on 8th Amendment grounds that this was de facto making homelessness itself a crime, because the options were freezing to death or getting out of Grants Pass. “We are talking about a community that doesn’t have shelter, doesn’t have the thing other communities have,” Antonia Fasanelli, executive director of the National Homelessness Law Center, pointed out .
Solo dining,
Additionally, the federal government has a goal of awarding 5% of federal contracting dollars to women-owned small businesses each year. However, it has only met that goal twice since it was established over 20 years ago. This bipartisan bill is designed to ensure federal contracting dollars intended for women-owned small businesses (WOSBs) are awarded to those firms that meet the U.S. A beautiful cozy outdoor patio, wood burning fireplace, old music videos, local live musicians, vintage board games and more offers entertainment for the whole family.

If you read any news, or even secretly get your worldview from TikTok, you’re already sick of hearing about Grants Pass and how the outcome of this case will forever determine how we deal with homelessness. That’s Sonia Maria Sotomayor, first Hispanic justice on the court and a lady you don’t want to mess with, as the lawyer for Grants Pass found out (the justices on Monday heard oral arguments in City of Grants Pass, Ore., vs. Gloria Johnson). Anita Chabria and David Lauter bring insights into legislation, politics and policy from California and beyond. “This piece of legislation is not about adding red tape or about the government picking winners and losers. The WOSB Integrity Act will simply ensure that competition for government contracting opportunities includes women small business owners and is fair.

Right now, under the Grants Pass ruling, if there aren’t enough shelter beds for everyone, then every unsheltered person is considered involuntarily homeless. Faced with the “involuntarily homeless” group, lower courts and municipalities tried to figure it out with lots of confusing rules. Its population has doubled in the last few decades to 40,000, but its housing stock has not. Virtually every other city has so-called time, place and manner laws that regulate when, where and how people can exist unhoused, and those are not at issue in Grants Pass, she pointed out.
