The Haunted Mansion redwood plaque, and the Bride and Queen of Hearts sculptures at Disneyland
The unique Haunted Mansion and Queen of Hearts artwork is currently available in the Disneyana store at Disneyland.
There’s a Haunted Mansion plaque made of salvaged redwood by Daniels Woodland, and one-of-a-kind Bride and Queen of Hearts sculptures by Miss Mindy.
Haunted Mansion painting – $2,300
The wooden plaque resembles the sign outside the Haunted Mansion attraction, but is stained dark brown and black.
The border features intricate leaf patterns, with a devil’s face at the top.
The “Haunted Mansion” is carved in the center.
The painting offered is number 38 of 99 created by Daniels Woodland, who also created the rescued redwood “It’s a Small World” hippopotamus statue we saw at Walt Disney World earlier this summer.
A similar Haunted Mansion painting and figures also made from salvaged redwood trees at Walt Disney World were released in 2019.
This painting comes in a wooden box with a purple wallpaper of the ride inside the lid and the “Haunted Mansion” on the front.
During last year’s D23 Expo, Disney announced that it would partner with Daniel’s Woodland to rescue trees that have completed their “circle of life” and recycle them into Disney memorabilia. End-of-life trees must be removed from Disney parks for safety, but the recycling process gives them a second life and supports sustainability.
The effort was founded by Disneyland Resort Cast Member Rhonda Wood, who started at the resort as a gardener more than 25 years ago.
“These are living elements that have been in the park for generations, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to create a program that can give those trees a new path,” Wood said of the trees.
At the time, Disney donated $25,000 to the nonprofit TreePeople, which plants and cares for trees in the mountains and urban neighborhoods of Southern California. They also distributed 1,000 unique wooden medals to attendees of the D23 Expo.
Bride Statue “Liotta Little” – $8,500
This piece by Miss Mindy is titled “Little Leotta,” but it appears it was actually inspired by the Ghost Ride’s bride, Constance Hatchway (unless we missed some new haunted mansion lore).
Featuring a shiny finish in different shades of blue and white, the bride wears a bow tie and carries a bouquet containing skulls. A long, torn veil hangs around her. The statue comes with a coffin-shaped box decorated with vines and skulls.

Queen of Hearts Couture – $9,200
The Queen of Hearts is depicted in an elegant red, black and white outfit, holding her heart-topped staff and wearing an elegant crown. Comes in a black box with red lacquered embellishments.
Watch Miss Mindy’s video of this statue below.
Miss Mindy also has a new mixed media piece called “Happy Haunts” on display at Disneyana. Prints are available at the WonderGround Gallery in the Downtown Disney District.
