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

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

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

Of course, the most buzz was about the Haunted Mansion Parlour, a bar and lounge dedicated to the cult favorite theme park ride. And we’re happy to report that the utterly spooky — and surprisingly intimate — space lives up to the hype.

Upon entering the dimly lit room, cruisers will feel as if they have been 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 cobwebs illuminate portraits along the walls and a collection of Victorian-style furniture that serves as seating in the living room. A large bubble aquarium, complete with ghost fish, sits in the center of the room across from a spacious wooden bar, where a familiar face might appear in the mirror.
