ANAHEIM, Calif. (KABC) -- When guests return to Disneyland later this month, they may notice the ghosts have been busy updating the Haunted Mansion.

From the landscaping and graveyard, to the portrait hallway, there have been several upgrades.

According to Disney Parks Blog, one of the Mansion's original portraits known as "April to December" has returned to the portrait hallway. As guests walk toward their doom buggies, they'll be able to see the lovely young woman aging before their eyes.
