===Disney World Construction===
 
During the time the Haunted Mansion was being finalized in Disneyland, plans were made for the creation of an identical version in (the not yet open) Magic Kingdom. Unlike the Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion however, the Haunted Mansion in Walt Disney World was set in the American Northeast, not New Orleans (due to the fact that Liberty Square replaced New Orleans Square in the parks design). The change in location is evident when looking at the attraction’s architecture, which took on a colonial or Hudson River Valley style <ref> http://www.haunteddimensions.raykeim.com/index335.html </ref>. The Haunted Mansion opened with the rest of the Magic Kingdom on October 1, 1971 <ref> http://thisdayindisneyhistory.homestead.com/disneyworldgrandopening.html </ref>.
 
===Changes Since Opening Day===
 
In October 2010 the Haunted Mansion closed for refurbishment. At this time, the attraction's queue was overhauled and given new interactive elements <ref> http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2011/03/video-sneak-peek-haunted-mansion-interactive-queue-at-magic-kingdom-park/ </ref>. When the queue reopened it featured an interactive cemetary, which now housed a sea captains's crypt, a composers crypt, a family of headstones, and a library crypt.
