PHOTOS, VIDEO: Tour the Jungle Cruise Skipper Society Lounge on the Disney Treasure

A new venue on the Disney Treasure cruise ship is the Jungle Cruise-inspired Skipper Society Lounge. The lounge is on deck 3, forward of the Grand Hall, in the same space as The Bayou aboard the Disney Wish.
Skipper Society Lounge Interior
The space resembles a bar constructed in the middle of the jungle. The carpet features large brown, white, orange, and green nature designs. Leaves and flowers hang into the lounge from the ceiling, between white canopies.
It has round brown tables with brown leather stools, gray chairs, and built-in sofas. Vintage-style lanterns hang from the ceiling and sit on the tables. The space is open on both sides, with the Haunted Mansion Parlor to the port side.
The sofas have brown leather seats. The arms and backs feature a print of plants and animals.
The bar is housed in a raised space inspired by a Jungle Cruise boat named the EMS Empress. The bar stools have brown leather seats and woven backs. The countertop is green marble.
Across from the bar is a small stage for performances. The walls around it are green with wood accents. The stage’s overhang resembles the canopy of a Jungle Cruise boat.
The proscenium is carved with various animals including a hippo, a gorilla with a top hat, a giraffe, and monkeys. The inner edge of the proscenium has a curving design similar to that of the canopy’s edge.
The curtain is emerald green. The stage platform is dark gray. A string of vintage-style work lights is mounted on the front of the proscenium. Regular stage lights also shine down from the ceiling.
There are TVs mounted on the walls on either side of the stage. They display a 3D rendering of the artwork below.
This art piece is in a golden bamboo-style frame. It shows the Jungle Cruise rivers, with other references to the Disney Treasure around the waters. The Jungle Cruise’s entrance building from Disneyland is in the center, with a boat docked in front of it. The Temple of the Forbidden Eye from Indiana Jones Adventure is in the lower left corner.
To the right is “The Aristocats”-inspired Scat Cat Lounge. Te Fiti is in the waters nearby, with Moana’s outrigger in front of her in “Hei Hei Bay,” representing Hei Hie Cafe and “Disney Tale of Moana.” Next to Te Fiti is Plum Blossom Point for the “Mulan”-inspired Jade Cricket Cafe. On the nearby shores is The Haunted Mansion (the Disneyland version) for the Haunted Mansion Parlor. The water in front of it is labeled Spirit Strait. A pirate ship is in “Buccaneer Bay.”
“Marigold Falls” resembles the marigold bridge to the Land of the Dead from “Coco,” representing Plaza de Coco, a dinner show on the Treasure. Beyond Marigold Falls is Submarine Lagoon with the Nautilus in the waters, in honor of the “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea”-inspired Periscope Pub. In the top left corner is the “New World,” with the Agrabah palace from “Aladdin” representing the ship’s Grand Hall.
A shadow box case features a “Missing” poster for a cat playwright. A flyer of Skipper names is labeled “Jungle Crews News.” There’s a note for Skipper Gerry to “Please pick up the banana phone.” There is a ring of keys and a flyer for the Vaudeville Frolic.
A round booth in the corner next to the bar has even more framed memorabilia. The light fixture hanging over the table features five green and blue macaws made of stained glass.
On the walls of this booth are pinned butterflies, black-and-white photos of skippers and the Jungle Cruise, a series of patches, and a bulletin board featuring a zoo flyer, postcard, and telegram. The postcard is addressed Albert Falls. Many of the props feature the Jungle Navigation Co. Ltd. logo.
There’s a map of the Jungle Cruise path through the Nile with hand-written notes pointing to camp and headhunters. A newspaper features various punny headlines and articles, including:
Grab a Tiger by the Tail at Bengal Barbecue!
Jungle Navigation Company Loses Two Boats
Is Hamlet Much Ado About Nothing?
Scientists Cry Fowl
Fun With Puns!
The newspaper is “The Daily Gnus.”
A red and white life preserver for the EMS Empress hangs over the booth. THere are more telegrams clipped to the wall and a brown leather bag.
Cast Member Costumes
Crew members wear dark brown pants, tan cargo vests, and light blue shirts. They have brown leather belts and a beige ascot. They wear the standard Disney Cruise Line nametag.
