Many people wish they could be famous actors, and some dream of working at Disneyland. Josh Gad is lucky enough to do both! For the past few months, Disney Parks has featured the actor trying out different jobs at the parks – from being a Jungle Cruise Skipper to a Kilimanjaro Safari tour guide. But on October 1st, Gad faced his spookiest assignment yet: working as a caretaker at the Haunted Mansion.
A new video from Disney Parks shows Gad dressing up as a Haunted Mansion Cast Member and experiencing something I’ve only ever done during an evacuation: walking through the ride itself. He seems to be really enjoying it, telling lots of jokes that the Ghost Host would definitely approve of. Check it out!
The most exciting part of the video is when Gad truly embodies his role as the Caretaker and greets guests at the Haunted Mansion. Many visitors recognize the actor as he welcomes them and are both surprised and delighted to see him there, and he playfully suggests that no one will believe their story. A particularly heartwarming moment is when a mother points out to her child, “That’s Olaf.”
Naturally, the most memorable Olaf moment happens at the video’s conclusion. Josh Gad delivers the ideal line – a reference to his role as the voice of a talking snowman – saying: “I like cold hugs.” When you consider it, it’s a surprisingly unsettling statement.
The fun of spooky season has been underway at most theme parks for more than a month now. Both Disney and Universal kicked off their Halloween events back in August, but with today being October 1st – the day many people officially start celebrating Halloween – it’s the perfect time to appreciate the Haunted Mansion.
However, the video is quite amusing because the current appearance of Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion is very different from what’s shown. During Disneyland’s Halloween Time, the Mansion receives a Nightmare Before Christmas theme, so this footage must have been captured sometime during the summer before that change. Naturally, many of Gad’s jokes wouldn’t land as well if the Mansion had a noticeable Christmas atmosphere while he was filming.
It’s hard to predict what Josh Gad will do next, but he probably isn’t finished with his fun roles as a Disney Parks Cast Member. We might see him as an Imperial interrogator on Rise of the Resistance, or even driving the Disney World Monorail. Perhaps he’ll even sing on Pirates of the Caribbean alongside John Stamos again! I’ll definitely be on the lookout for him during my next visit to the parks.
