Today, we got an exclusive look at the inside of the new “Haunted Mansion Parlor,” coming to Disney’s newish ship, the Disney Treasure.
Setting sail in late 2024, the new ship boasts exclusive lounges, dining, and experiences never seen on another Disney Cruise ship. The design of the Haunted Mansion Parlor will resemble a first-class drawing room of a classic cruise liner from the golden age, invoking inspiration from the original Haunted Mansion with a nautical twist. Complete with nostalgic tributes to Haunted Mansion attractions around the world, fans will recognize the iconic wallpaper and the distinctive purple armchair tucked in the corner.
You will also encounter a few legendary characters from the original Disney Parks attraction, as well as some new seafaring arrivals, in a portrait gallery depicting the Disney Treasure’s own ghostly residents.
Billed as the “next chapter” of Haunted Mansion lore, the bar tells the story of a captain who entered the ghostly realm following a tragic dinner with his fiancée, and pulls aesthetic theming directly from Walt Disney’s original 1969 Disneyland version of the ride, including purple wallpaper, a mantel clock, a distinct chair.
Fans affectionately refer to as the Donald Duck chair. While visitors experience the seafaring character’s lair, they’ll hear a custom musical arrangement by Shruti Kumar that draws inspiration from the ride’s iconic theme.

The Haunted Mansion Parlor boasts new, exclusive merchandise, from miniatures of the venue’s distinctive music box and mantle clock to a mug engraved with spooky sea life and a small mirror that flashes images of hitchhiking ghosts.
- The Haunted Mansion Parlor Music Box will be a keepsake inspired by an eerie music box that will be found inside the Haunted Mansion Parlor. As the rumors go, this mysterious box belonged to the captain’s bride-to-be and only opens in the presence of malevolent spirits.
- Inspired by the old grandfather clock from the original Disney Parks attraction, the Haunted Mansion Parlor clock will evoke the nostalgic allure of the Haunted Mansion.
- And, a ghost may even follow you home on your voyage… The Haunted Mansion Parlor Mirror will offer a frightening surprise when the hitchhiking ghosts mysteriously appear in the frame.
Disney promises that the parlor will star “legendary characters from Haunted Mansion attractions at Disney Parks around the world, as well as new seafaring arrivals” that will come out to socialize (and expose their skeletons amid flashes of lightning) within the portrait gallery inside a first-class drawing room that recalls classic cruise liners of the golden age.

Of course, the Haunted Mansion Parlor will also feature themed cocktails. A new twist on a classic margarita features a swirl of flavored smoke peppering the liquid, the purple Ghoulish Delight mixes ube-flavored fudge, oat milk, and tapioca pearls in a drink topped off with a gummy eyeball, and the non-alcoholic Sympathetic Libations harmonizes blood orange and sour cherry flavors.
The Haunted Mansion Parlor is one of several Disney Parks-inspired venues that will debut onboard the Disney Treasure. The exciting lineup will also include Skipper Society, a lounge inspired by the Jungle Cruise parks attraction, and Periscope Pub, which is inspired by the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea legacy parks attraction.
