Disney Cruise Line has released a short video tour of the Haunted Mansion Parlor bar that will be aboard its newest ship, the Disney Treasure.

Haunted Mansion Parlor Bar Tour

An ornate sign on a patterned wall reads "The Haunted Mansion," with "Joker" beneath in stylized letters, reminiscent of a curious parlor bar you might find aboard the Disney Cruise Line.

Our tour begins in the hallway outside the bar, where the sign for The Haunted Mansion Parlor is on display. The ghoulish aquatic face at the top of the frame is pulled from Imagineer Rolly Crump’s art for the “Aquarium with Ghost Fish,” an unused concept for the never-built Museum of the Weird.

Dimly lit room with an ornate aquarium featuring an octopus design, surrounded by luxurious seating and a bar. Vintage chandeliers hang over a decorative fireplace and portrait.

Upon walking into the bar, we are met with a dark and moody atmosphere, with the Aquarium with Ghost Fish.

A variety of liquor bottles displayed on a bar counter with a dimly lit, blue-toned room in the background.

Over at the actual bar, a mirror along the wall is filled with waltzing ghosts straight from the Haunted Mansion ballroom.

A dimly lit room with framed paintings depicting mythical scenes on a dark wooden wall, accompanied by red upholstered seating and table lamps.

Along the left-side wall is the parlor’s portrait gallery, which includes art of the wandering souls that have taken up residence on the Disney Treasure. These pieces mimic the art stylings utilized by Imagineers for the original Haunted Mansion in 1969, as well as use present-day technologies to transform the portraits.

Dimly lit room with dark wood paneling, a bust on a wall niche, an ornate fireplace, round mirror, and a table with a chair.

Along the back wall is a variety of sitting areas and a fireplace. To the left of the fireplace is the bust of Crump, depicting the Imagineer melting like candle wax. This bust is inspired by Crump’s own Candleman character from Museum of the Weird, which was eventually added to the Haunted Mansion at Magic Kingdom.

Cozy room with an ornate fireplace, ship painting above, antique-style clock, velvet chairs, and a framed portrait on dark paneled walls.

Above the fireplace is a mantle clock and a painting of a ship. To the right is a portrait of the “good-humored sea captain,” whose lifelong dream of serving on a luxury ocean liner was cut short.

A dimly lit room features a large, ornate aquarium with a green crocodile head sculpture on top. Blue lighting illuminates the water inside.

Later in the tour is a closer look at the Aquarium with Ghost Fish. This mysterious display glows blue as bubbles float up to the water’s surface. Though, in this video, it does look empty.

Wooden shelf with musical instruments, sheet music, and a plate, covered in cobwebs. Blue patterned wallpaper and dim lighting with two spherical wall lamps on the left.

On the far right of the bar is a section of seating surrounded by the iconic Haunted Mansion wallpaper. A shelving unit on the wall includes various musical instruments on display.

Room with ornate purple and orange armchairs, a small table, and dim purple lighting.

Just below the shelves is the iconic “Donald Duck” chair, which gets its name because of its face design being similar to Donald’s. This chair was also designed by Crump and was intended to be a moving and talking chair.
