Unlike some HM purists, I love the holiday overlay. How do you feel?

I really like it since it's good to see something nice for the holidays. Plus I grew up with TNBC and I think it's great.

I'm not fond of TNBC but i still enjoy the Haunted Mansion dressed up in it. But I only go on it once per trip at christmas time vs. 3 times per trip at ordinary times.

I love the Haunted Mansion overlay! I was so excited the first year my Mom and I got to go see it in person. She loves the Nightmare Before Christmas so she was even more excited than I was.

I like Nightmare before Christmas and from a business sense I think decorating some attractions for christmas or Halloween is a smart thing to do . Also every year they change and tweak something like the table decorations in the big hall so it is kind of nice and makes each year different. I love the seance room in Haunted Mansion -I have the Tarot card set from when it first opened so it makes me a little fonder of that room especially

I was really skeptical about it the first year the overlay went up. I was afraid they were going to keep it that way all the time. So I was afraid to like it...however once I learned that it was only for Halloween and Christmas, I allowed myself to enjoy it.
...now if only we can get to the park during the non-holiday season so we can see the HM I know and love so much!

All I have to add is that I hope they keep the gingerbread man in the great hall area. I love the smell of gingerbread when I arrive to that scene.

Some people prefer "gloomy darkness" over a "scarey christmas". Everyone has their own likes and dislikes. I know DL and TDL have it, I wish WDW could have it. WDW is way past due for it.

Scary Screamings! The overlay is just amazing (and I wasn't even a Nightmare Before Christmas fan prior to seeing the mansion!). The details are outstanding, especially the gingerbread house (carousel this year!).

Im one that does not like change or updates to legacy rides but knowing that it reverts back after the holidays makes the difference. I really enjoy the TNBC holiday display.
