Interactive Graveyard Coming to WDW Haunted Mansion

Inside The Magic:
Though Disney has not officially announced what is coming to the graveyard, reports suggest that the recent interactive play-test that took place in April is a sign of what’s in the works for this location. In addition to rerouting the attraction’s queue to better accommodate handicapped/wheelchair access (guests needing assistance currently enter via the exit), a new graveyard is reportedly being installed that will replace the former (at least in part), adding a level of interactivity to the area.
The entire queue is being reworked and will wind its way closer to the waterfront. The graveyard is going to be a much more central part of it.

The entire attraction is going down for refurbishment in January. I've heard rumors that they are looking to add more of a New Orleans flair to the mansion (and a hatbox ghost?). It doesn't make any sense but they've done weirder things.
