Heard they are thinking about a permanent Nightmare before Christmas overlay...

Where did you hear that?

I'm a huge fan of TNBC, but it would seem out of place if they did a permanent overlay at PM. The whole Frontierland is so well connected and something like this will ruin the current immersion. A holiday overlay would make more sense.

I've always hoped for Phantom Manor Holiday, it'd be a great and affordable addition- not to mention that Nightmare is a huge merchandise seller ;). The ride would be perfect for it- Phantom Canyon would make a fantastic Halloweentown!

Does anyone know roughly when this will start? i know it's 2018 but i'm going to DRP from the 5th of Jan till the 8th of Jan and would really love to ride PM as it's my all time favourite ride and would love to ride it for the first time!

I highly doubt that

Well, the Hatbox Ghost is not related to the current storyline,
I've only just become acquainted with the Hatbox Ghost - maybe if (according to the Haunted Mansion story) he is supposed to be the groom, maybe there is scope for him to move into the Manor after all. Looking at some footage of him, he is certainly an interesting looking fellow!
As the refurb is well under way maybe it's a bit late to consider him now but it could be nice to see him in the future.

Well whatever they're doing inside seems a lot more complex/time consuming than they first imagined because it's not due to open until early 2019 as announced today!

That's rather naughty to announce after Halloween tickets went on sale. I have booked for Nov for the sole reason of seeing the new overlay.

Same here, I just booked a trip for november 14th and I'm so sad about this!

We've booked for Halloween, bought the tickets and then this was announced this afternoon. Not happy at all!

The timing of this does seem quite naughty. I feel sympathy for those wanting to visit at Halloween. Hopefully it'll be worth it.

I saw the post that the manor is now not opening until next year  :'(, has a reason been given as to why there is going to be such a lengthy delay?
