Ghostly Guests Rematerialize: Haunted Mansion Parlor Returns to Disney Cruise Line on the Disney Destiny

The Haunted Mansion Parlor is inspired by the Haunted Mansion attraction from Disney Parks around the world. We walked through the entire venue on the Disney Destiny.
Haunted Mansion Parlor Interior
Step into the Haunted Mansion Parlor—an adults-only haunted hangout for lively “spirits,” with a specially crafted cocktail menu that is to die for.
The Disney Destiny’s Haunted Mansion Parlor is identical to the one on the Disney Treasure. The vintage-style furniture resembles items you would see in the Haunted Mansion. There are small tables next to the sofas and armchairs with softly-lit lamps.
Along the wall is the Parlor’s portrait gallery, which includes art of the wandering souls that have taken up residence on the ship. These pieces mimic the art stylings utilized by Imagineers for the original Haunted Mansion in 1969.
Velour-covered chairs in various colors and styles are placed throughout the space to allow for intimate gatherings. All across the dimly lit atmosphere, there are also leather barstools, leather couches. Large area rugs cover portions of the hardwood floor.
The Mansion’s famous “Donald Duck” chair is even included, sitting in the corner near the portholes. The chair is red with embroidery creating a face that some say resembles Donald Duck. Golden tassels hang from the arms and around the bottom.
Red drapes hang next to the “windows” of the parlor, which also have a purple damask covering.
The purple damask wallpaper found on the attraction is also here on the Destiny. There are also display shelves with props, as well as vintage-looking lightning on the walls.
The fireplace in the parlor has a piece of framed artwork depicting a shipwreck.The fireplace is a white marble with the haunted ship’s rendition of the Medusa Lady in the center. There is also familiar detail in the ironwork of the fireplace.
The clock at the center of the fireplace features a spiderweb design with the “13” proudly displayed at the top. The fingers of the clock are fixed at hour 13.
Some of the walls are paneled with wood and have portraits, including the portrait of the Captain. The Captain’s portrait turns the figure clad in uniform into a decrepit skeleton.
Bar
The bar features a green marble which perfectly matches the iconic purple wallpaper. At the back of the bar, there is a mirror, which not only helps to make the space feel bigger but there is an added surprise lurking. The longer you look in, the more likely you are to spot the ghostly figures straight from the Haunted Mansion.
Bartenders may put a secret message in your drink only visible under blacklight.
Menu
The drinks menu is available via leatherbound tablets. They feature The Haunted Mansion Parlor wordmark on the covers. The virtual menus resemble old book pages.
One popular drink is the The Chilling Challenge: My Way, which consists of Camus VSOP Cognac, Cointreau Noir, Joto Yuzu Sake, Orange Blossom Foam, and Edible Viola Flowers.
Occasionally, guests will be presented with a Death Certificate when they receive the check at the end of their visit to the Haunted Mansion Parlor. These have been very popular on the Treasure, and they have made their way to the Destiny.
Souvenir tiki mugs featuring Haunted Mansion Parlor portraits and ghost ship designs are available to purchase and take home.
