This past Halloween season, Disney Cruise Line set Disney fans into a frenzy with the confirmation that a new bar themed to the iconic Haunted Mansion attraction at Disney Parks will be featured aboard the new Disney Treasure ship set to embark on new voyages in 2024.
What to Expect
Spirited craft cocktails and mocktails will be the focal point in this vibey space materializing all the chills and creeps of the Haunted Mansion. Here’s some of the highlights:
- The design of the Haunted Mansion Parlor will be reminiscent of a first-class drawing room from the classic cruise liners of the golden age, invoking inspiration from the original Haunted Mansion with a nautical twist.
- The venue will follow the nostalgic art style of the original 1969 Disney Parks classic, and true to the original attraction, the Haunted Mansion Parlor will blend humor with Disney’s own distinct brand of spooky storytelling.
- Legendary characters from Haunted Mansion attractions at Disney Parks around the world, as well as new seafaring arrivals, will come out to socialize in mysterious ways throughout the experience.
Details
- The bar will be focused on the story of a jovial sea captain who entered the ghostly realm after a disastrous dinner with his beloved fiancé. Of late, Disney has been leaning more on this particular lore for the mansion including featuring a captain character in the film released summer 2023.
- A custom musical arrangement inspired by the attraction’s original score arranged and adapted by composer Shruti Kumar and Walt Disney Imagineering will set the stage for an ever-escalating anthology of illusions that immerses guests into the mysterious lore of the Haunted Mansion.
- The lounge will include tributes to the Disney Parks attractions, from the iconic purple wallpaper framed by wooden finishes to a mantel clock atop an inviting fireplace to a distinctive purple armchair tucked in the corner.
- Guests will also encounter a few new ghoulish faces in a portrait gallery depicting the Disney Treasure’s own ghostly residents.
Beverages
- Ghoulish Delight zero-proof cocktail will incorporate decadent ube fudge, oat milk and tapioca pearls for a purple concoction garnished with a gummy eyeball and ube glitter.
- Sympathetic Libations zero proof cocktail will feature blood orange and sour cherry flavors that will harmonize in this shimmering served in a specialty mug.
- Still unnamed, another signature drink at the Haunted Mansion Parlor will be a tequila-based cocktail, topped with a lemon salt foam that will contain a secret message revealed by black light.
Merch
It wouldn’t be a true Disney experience without a gift shop component and we expect some of these items to be available in 2024 at Disneyland as part of the expansion of the Haunted Mansion queue.
Haunted Parlor Mantel Clock will loom over the fireplace inside the venue, instigating mysterious happenings when it strikes 13. As a part of the new merchandise collection, Disney Cruise Line guests will be able to bring home their very own mantel clock, just like the one from the parlor.
Haunted Mansion Parlor Music Box is keepsake inspired by the eerie music box that will play a melodic soundtrack 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.
Haunted Mansion Parlor Sculpted Mug will depict an aura of intrigue and will be accented with a variety of sea life, including a hidden Mickey Mouse-shaped barnacle. It will primarily feature the same octopus design from the bar’s entrance onboard the Disney Treasure ship.
Haunted Mansion Parlor Mirror will allow guests to take home a piece of the magic, offering a ghoulish surprise to unsuspecting users when the hitchhiking ghosts mysteriously appear.
