New Orleans Square (Hatbox Ghost)

This Open Edition pin features the iconic Hatbox Ghost, a legendary character from the Haunted Mansion attraction, which first opened at Disneyland Resort in 1969. As part of the Stylized Disneyland Lands Booster Set released in 2024, this pin celebrates the spooky charm of New Orleans Square, the land where the Haunted Mansion resides at Disneyland Resort. The design showcases the Hatbox Ghost in a stylized, monochromatic blue and green palette, perfectly capturing the eerie, spectral aesthetic of the ride. The character is famously known for his vanishing and reappearing head, a special effect that was elusive for decades before being restored to the attraction in recent years. Collectors highly value this piece due to the immense popularity of the Haunted Mansion and the Hatbox Ghost’s status as a fan-favorite character among Disney enthusiasts. Because it is part of a booster set, it offers an accessible way for newer collectors to obtain high-quality character art from the parks. The pin features bold text at the bottom identifying its origin as New Orleans Square. Its release in 2024 continues the long-standing tradition of merchandise honoring the mysterious lore of the Haunted Mansion. The artwork style is distinct, moving away from traditional character designs toward a more graphic, thematic approach consistent with modern park releases.
