The Haunted Mansion Parlor is one of the standout features aboard the Disney Treasure, Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship. This lounge blends the familiar eerie charm of Disney’s Haunted Mansion with nautical elements to create a unique experience for fans of the attraction.

What to Expect at the Haunted Mansion Parlor

The parlor is designed to resemble a first-class drawing room on a vintage cruise ship, with ghostly details inspired by a sea captain and his enigmatic fiancé. Guests will find nods to the original Haunted Mansion, combined with maritime touches that fit the ship’s theme.

Features include:

Shifting Portraits: Artwork that reveals details about the captain and his bride.
Ghostly Aquarium: A tank filled with translucent, supernatural fish.
Rolly Crump Tribute: A statue near the fireplace celebrates the Imagineer’s “Museum of the Weird” concept, including details like the melting “Candle Man.”

A special effect in the parlor mirror may surprise guests as the Hitchhiking Ghosts make an unexpected appearance, tying the experience to the attraction’s well-known lore.

The parlor also offers Haunted Mansion-themed merchandise exclusive to the Disney Treasure. Items include:

And by “heavily themed”, you mean “beat you over the head every other second that you’re on a Disney ship”, correct? We can thank former Master Ship Builder Bob for that. And really both Bob’s, since one or the other had to sign off on these.

Where is the $6000 drink? Leaving money on the table if they are not offering a premium experience like that. People like to pay for premium things… don’t they? Or is that only applicable in the parks? Another Wish. 😴

A lot of the effects in the Parlor remind me of effects used at Club33 in DL.

The Parlor should capture the essence of the attraction rather than replicating its exact details or worse offering a watered down version of the attraction's gags. Directly lifting from the original creates a redundant experience. The creatives involved should have respected the original, offering a distinct and unique experience that stands on its own merits.

Let's revisit my theory about WDW selling off the resort hotels, shall we... ?

It’s odd to me the DCL ships have gone from an understated ocean liner theme to heavily themed at the exact same time the Disney hotels have gone from heavily themed to understated. How can the same company actively add theming in one division while actively removing it in another? It defies logic. Either theming is appealing to your guests or it isn’t, make up your mind. I suspect I’m still going to prefer the earlier DCL ships but I can’t wait to get onboard the Adventure to explore all these cool new areas. I love the detail and all the theming.

How is it lazy? Doing no show scenes at all is lazy. They didnt have to put any show scenes in at all. Yet they did. And the bar seems to have plenty of HM inspired but not directly copied stuff.

I really like how the Treasure is looking so far! As one who enjoyed the Wish, I can’t wait to see how the two compare!

I do not like actual HM show elements being used here. It's lazy. The Haunted Mansion Parlor should be HM-inspired not stuff directly lifted from the attraction. The nautical additions are nice but Madame Leota and the Ghost Host should remain tethered to the mansion.
