I Got a Sneak Peek of the DisneyTreasure— and Yes, Haunted Mansion Parlor Lives Up to the Hype

Mar. 15, 2025

Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship, theDisneyTreasure, sets sail on its maiden voyage in December. But first, it made a quick stop in New York City, where PEOPLE got a sneak peek inside.

On Wednesday, Nov. 20, the 1,119-foot, 1,246-stateroom vessel welcomed its first guests for a day-long preview that included a tour (and taste) of its new features.

The most buzzed-about was of coursethe Haunted Mansion Parlor, a bar and lounge themed to the cult-favorite theme park ride. And we’re happy to report, the supremely spooky — and surprisingly intimate — space lives up to the hype.

Stepping into the dimly lit room, cruisers will feel like they are instantly transported to the classic dark ride, which can be found at five Disney parks around the world, including Disneyland and Walt Disney World.

Flickering lamps draped in spiderwebs light the portraits that line the walls, and the collection of Victorian-style furnishings that serve as lounge-style seating. A large bubbling tank, complete with ghost fish sits at the room’s center across from an expansive wood bar, where a familiar face might just appear in the mirror.

Drinks include specialty cocktails like a margarita enshrouded in fog and bearing the Haunted Mansion logo that glows under a black light; two on-theme beers (Hoppy Haunts IPA and Pallor Mortis Ale); and glittering bottles of alcohol-free offerings, like the Sour Shivers Lemonade and Crawly Cola.

The parlor is open to guests of all ages until 9 p.m., after which it becomes an adults-only venue until 1 a.m. While Disney hasn’t disclosed how it will book visits to the space (be it reservations, timed entry or another method), the scariest thing might be trying to secure a seat.

Elsewhere on theTreasure,which will offer seven-night itineraries to the Eastern and Western Caribbean, is outfitted with some of Disney cruiser’s favorite features from the company’s previous vessels and a handful of exciting additions.

Walt’s original plans for a community of tomorrow — and a few hidden surprises. While Disney hasn’t disclosed the price of the suite, the unofficial Disney blog,WDW Magazine, reported that the equivalent suite on the DisneyWishship can cost as much as $30,000 per voyage.

TheTreasureis the sixth ship in Disney’s rapidly expanding cruise fleet. Two more have already been announced: DisneyDestinyand DisneyAdventure, which will both set sail in 2025.
