I apologise if this has been asked before but I couldnt see anything mentioning it... Does anyone know why Phantom Manor is having a 3 week refurb? I know when I went last year it had just opened after having a huge refurb with the new profections, it seems really soon to be closed again for so long...

This is pretty standard. It tends to close for 2 - 4 weeks a year, often in September. It is one of the most technically advanced attractions

Or maybe something for Halloween. I hope so..

That has been a rumour for years. Like I say, this has been standard practice for 15 years at least. One year they did surprise us with a really cool light show on the Manor for the upcharge Halloween parties, so that could be happening.

But don't expect a Nightmare Overlay, it is very expensive and they would market it about 6 months in advance.

Yeah I think I read somewhere that there was a rumoured Nightmare Before Christmas upgrade being done to it just for Halloween but I doubt it somehow. The park has other things it needs and wants to spend money on.

It's announced internally as annual refurbishment and replacement of carpet at entrance.  Sorry to disappoint.  :-|

I'm not disappointed, that carpet needs replacing hehe

Okay, thats fair enough. I'm a bit suprised though since this is going to be my thrid trip in September and its never been closed when we have gone in the past. Hope they dont close it when we go next September too :S its one of my fav rides!

least the refurb will be done by the time I get there....I sooooo love this ride that and potc....

[disneybear]

Absolutely gutted! Closed the whole time we're there!

Little one was dissapointed too, when i told her it will be closed during our visit in september  

Since she was brave enough last november to try this ride, she loved it and told me she would go to the "spooky house" again because it not that scary.

At least I hope ISAW remains open. It's one of her favourite rides to. It was closed last november because of the christmas overlay.

IASW isnt due for a refurb until November I think. The only closures I saw for September were Phantom Manor and Snow White. Hopefully there wont be any more... I love PM too

[Disneylover13]

at least it will be open for when i get there in november......its one of my fav rides next to btm,potc and bllb

[disneybear]

Very jealous indeed! I plan to ride BTM and POTC twice as much as I usually would to make up for PM not being open! Gawwwwd, my friends are going to get tired of me pretty quickly...

[PetiteSirene]

This will be the second trip for me where PM was closed (the last one was for the HD update) On an upside it means I can get some good shots of the Manor without people in lol
