If you are a fan of the Disney theme parks, then there are likely some rides that are either so iconic that you have to visit them at least once or that are your absolute favorite. For me, there is one ride that has been a favorite my entire life and has even inspired more than one movie. And that would be the Haunted Mansion.
So, we were very excited to learn that a new book inspired by the Haunted Mansion was being released in 2025. Yes, this is a children’s book. However, we don’t care. We are just excited to see a new book about the Haunted Mansion being released this year.
Set for release in 2025, this particular book features the iconic Raven tracking down the many ghosts of the house in order to throw a party. This is a picture book, that acts as a seek-and-find. In it, the Raven of the mansion has decided that he would like to be part of the fun that the ghosts have every night. But before he can do that Madame Leota has a task for him. Essentially, he has to find the ghosts so he can enjoy a special party with them.
A new Haunted Mansion book featuring the Raven is being released for children to enjoy in 2025
According to WDW News Today, the upcoming book is available for pre-order now. The title is When You Wish Upon a Ghost, and is set to be released as a hardback book. It is currently available on Amazon for $12.99; the official release date is July 1, 2025.
Apparently, this is a book for children between the ages of three and six years old. And the illustrations throughout the book includes rooms from the Haunted Mansion and many of the popular characters that we all know and love from the attraction.
This is certainly not the first time The Haunted Mansion has been written about. There have been other Disney books that have explored the inside of the mansion or shared stories of the ghosts that live there. However, we love the idea of this one, especially since the Raven takes center stage.
Now we just have to wait for July to get our hands on what is expected to be a fun and adorable look at the Haunted Mansion and its residents.
