Disney Story Beyond

Disney Story Beyond is an series of events at Tokyo Disneyland exploring the storylines of various attractions in the park, with the first of these events centering around their Haunted Mansion and the story of its residents, told through a tome known as the Ghost Registry. It ran from January 26, 2023 to March 31, 2023. A second Haunted Mansion season, titled "Entrusted Fate", is set to run from February 7, 2024 to April 30, 2024.

As part of the campaign, several new props were installed in the attraction related to the highlighted ghosts as part of an augmented reality scavenger hunt to track down the missing pages, with a password for unlocking an extra story section on the website being placed on a sign out front of the ride.

Summary[]

Ghost Registry (2023 season)[]

The campaign is centered around a tome known as the Ghost Registry, a mysterious book kept in the Mansion's library that chronicles the stories of all the ghosts haunting the Mansion. Maintained by the Butlers and Maids of the Mansion for generations, eight pages fell out when the maid Z.J. dropped it in shock, with playful spooks running off with the lost pages. Z.J. and her father Xavier have decided to recruit mortals to get the pages back.

Overview of added elements[]

• A note at the entrance to the Mansion, "Dear fellow mortals, we need your help! - Z.J."
• The Ghost Registry with several pages scattered on the floor of the Library. Also in the library are a hat hung on a rack, a notebook, a pocket watch and a Bat Stanchion-topped bell on the table.
• Harland's page, a portrait, and an art kit in the Music Room.
• The Withering Man's page, cup of tea and cane in the Conservatory.
• Sally Slater's page, parasol and gloves in the Grand Hall.
• Constance's burnt page and portraits of her husbands in the Attic.
• Ezra and Phineas's page near the Caretaker in the Graveyard along with a hat and traveling bag
• Gus's page in the Crypt, folded into a paper airplane, alongside some of Phineas's quack medicine bottles.

Entrusted Fate (2024 season)[]

Z.J. has discovered her father Xavier has fallen under a curse that will eventually take his life and is seeking out help to lift it. With the Raven serving as a guide, she discovers a message in the Ghost Registry from her ancestor Zelda Lee Woods explaining that Xavier cannot be told about the curse or else it will fully take effect and giving partially illegible instructions on how to lift it (Hit [X] with [Y] [Z] times).^[1] To fill in the lost three words, guests must search for clues within the Mansion. These clues, marked on a map of the Mansion on the campaign's website and highlighted in the attraction by their proximity to the raven's dropped feathers include:

• Xavier's pocket watch
• Sally's parasol
• Pickwick's metronome
• Gus's ball and chain
• Phineas's medicine bottles
• Victor Geist's sheet music for Haydn's Symphony No. 101
• The Withering Man's cane
• Marilyn's 4th draft of a revised version of Romeo and Juliet
• Harland's painting, featuring a sundial marking 4 'o clock
• The Werecat Lady's portrait.
