Disney Treasure First Look: Haunted Mansion Parlor
disneyparksblog.com: The Haunted Mansion Parlor serves up spirited craft cocktails in a frightful lounge that resembles a first-class drawing room you would see on a classic cruise liner. And this one-of-a-kind lounge draws inspiration from the original Haunted Mansion, with a nautical twist, where guests are invited to the ghostly realm of a jovial sea captain and his strange, but captivating fiancé.

I’m fascinated by how Disney constantly reimagines its iconic attractions—this time with a nautical twist. The idea of stepping into a first-class drawing room haunted by a jovial sea captain and his eerie fiancé is just dripping with drama and theatrical flair.What caught my attention is how the parlor leans into storytelling through design. Shifting portraits, ghostly aquariums, and nods to Rolly Crump’s “Museum of the Weird” make the space feel like it’s alive—well, undead. It’s not just a bar; it’s an interactive story that unfolds around you, almost like a stage play where the set is the star. This feels like a masterclass in blending art, theater, and hospitality to create a world you can step into. It makes me think about how similar concepts could work outside of Disney. Imagine an art exhibit or a theater lounge taking you into a different realm, much like this parlor does. What really seals the deal, though, is that signature Disney touch: surprises like the hitchhiking ghosts in the mirror. It’s playful and just the right amount of spooky, ensuring that whether you’re a casual visitor or a die-hard Haunted Mansion fan, the parlor leaves an unforgettable impression.
