Making original ride is much higher of a risk compared to an IP ride for no extra payoff, compare superstar to laugh floor, both pretty middling attractions yet one still stands and draws in crowds. Once an original IP is established expanding it becomes far less risky especially in a situation like this where its primary function is to be a bar rather than a ride. Most of the general public especially at Disney World comes for the IP not the original rides, it’s why figment is such an unknown character even though he’s super popular with park fans, carousel of progress could close next week and a tourist probably wouldn’t have even realised it left. So of course Disney is going to push IP if they can.
The idea of bringing the experience of the Haunted Mansion onto a Disney Cruise ship is absolutely incredible, the Imagineers really gave it their all when creating this for the Treasure! 👻🎃🍂🍂🚢👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
I really love that they didn't overuse CGI head. It's the original Leota Tombs head video of Leota and it looks like even a video of the animatronic figures of the ballroom dancers. I LOVE the changing portraits and Pepper's Ghost fishes in the aquarium. Well done, Disney!
1:16 Even the Imagineers agree that no ghosts should show up before Leota does her seance! For real though this bar is incredible, I'd almost book a cruise just for it lol
Whoever's doing the voice work for the Paul Frees "Ghost Host" is nailing it. I hate to go on about this since I've posted it elsewhere, but with all this Haunted Mansion theming it's a shame they couldn't find a way to fit in Rolly Crump's "Museum of the Weird." If not DL's new HM gift shop, then on this cruise ship. ...although that obvious Rolly reference at 5:08 is awesome. Also the chair at 7:22 which is another child of the Museum of the Weird.
I believe they used an unused line from the original attraction but it was cut in the end. So that is actually Paul Frees you hear. You can still hear that line In the full original vinyl recording for the attraction.
@@mikedegnan7489 you're correct that is the unused Paul Frees narration. I'm glad that it can finally be heard in a Haunted Mansion themed area and I wish it wasn't cut from the ride.
Now this is top tier Imagineering!!! This Parlor is really what any Haunted Mansion fan could ask for. The props, special effects and the atmosphere really bring the room to life (or afterlife, idk that it would be great to do a pun). Plus, we have the unused Paul Frees narration right before we would see Madame Leota on the ride. I think that was a clever touch and I wish we could hear that bit on ride today, shame it was cut tho.
I don't know if these rumors are true. But Disney is planning on building a bigger ship than Royal Caribbean's current new ship, and at the bottom of the ship, which would be a 3 story level, I believe, and it will have 3 rides on it with 3 different themes. And they're seeing actual rides that you get in the little buggy, her cart and It goes through the ride. It will also have some time a coaster and water slides on the top and also have different simulator rides, which will probably be Star Wars based
I am so incredibly happy with how this ship turned out. This ship is everything I could’ve wanted and more in the newest Disney ship. I cannot wait to sail on her!
This gave me such a great idea since I won’t be going on a cruise anytime soon. I’m gonna fill up my sippy cup with a cocktail and I’m gonna ride the haunted mansion, pretty smart, huh? It’s the same thing.
It's so much more impressive than I thought it would be, I swear there's something going on in every part of the room. Do they add the unique Haunted Mansion smell in also?
They would have to take a restraining order out on me to keep me from this place. Not because of the drinks but, due to the fact that I love Haunted Mansion so much that I would stay here and not go anywhere else on the ship. I would be the 1000 willing soul. Lol
looks cool. just watched Nate (PMM) touring it also. id like to go on a Disney cruise, only things holding me back is $$ and being a single childless guy
It's giving Disney/Haunted Mansion fan who has too much time and money and turned their home office "into" the Haunted Mansion. Don't lie, you've seen those video tours here on youtube of "My Haunted Mansion Office", "My Haunted Mansion Guest Room", etc. 😂😂😂
That probably depends. It’s going to be intimate, but it seemed like there were distinct areas where you could feel comfortable. If you have been on the Disney Wish, this is in the same spot where the Star Wars Hyperspace Lounge is.
Funny how Disney put more effort into a parlor on a cruise ship, than they did for the Leota gift shop in Disneyland. Says a lot about their priorities these days.
@WDWNT at least the interior of the bar is great. From what I heard the new Leota gift shop in Disneyland uses decor you could buy online for cheap, as well as some AI generated art.
i am surprised and disappointed how small this bar is. it's sure to be so packed all the time, it'll either be hours wait to get in or always crowded. As cool as it is, there really isn't anything unique about the experience. All the decor was lifted straight from the ride or existing concept art. The dialog/script is from the ride too. That said, its a labor of love from Imagineers Past, not Imagineers Present
I don’t need this in the parks, I need this in my house lol
This may be the coolest bar Disney have ever made. It needs to be on every Disney cruise ship pleaseee
This is incredible. What’s crazy is Disney understands how much its fans love original attractions not from IP but won’t make any more.

OMG, amazing... gave me goosebumps! Need to make something like this for the parks
1:16 Even the Imagineers agree that no ghosts should show up before Leota does her seance! For real though this bar is incredible, I'd almost book a cruise just for it lol
They hit it out of the park

@@burneyboys02 @mikedegnan7489 Thank you both! No kidding? So that really is Paul? Well... That explains why the VO artist is nailing it.
What an impressive creation. I would love to see similar bars - and restaurants, perhaps - at resorts.
Now this is top tier Imagineering!!!

How cool, guess I gotta start drinking, thanks Disney. :)
They did a great job! It looks so fun, and the ghost fishes were adorable 💕
This is amazing!! Why is this not in the parks? WOW!!! Great job Disney!!
I like that they included the Mariner of the Sinister 11... Always thought he deserved to have a transforming portrait.
Thank you guys for doing this! Can’t wait to see this in person!
So cool! Even a little Hatbox Ghost and Donald Duck chair. I would hope that wooden chest in the showcase rattles it's lid at times.
They need to bring this to the park. Looks amazing!
Glorious, Thee Haunted Mansion Bar and Spirits 👻 🎃🍂

I hope the drinks are as good as the decor. Thanks WDWNT!
Ghost fish!!!
Haunted Mansion restaurant next.
I am so incredibly happy with how this ship turned out. This ship is everything I could’ve wanted and more in the newest Disney ship. I cannot wait to sail on her!
Is that the magical music box from mystic manor!?!🤯
It looks amazing but it also looks really small.
I SOOO want to use this in my work as a performer!
Wish I could go and see stuff like this! I love the haunted mansion!
These are great! Thank you!
This gave me such a great idea since I won’t be going on a cruise anytime soon. I’m gonna fill up my sippy cup with a cocktail and I’m gonna ride the haunted mansion, pretty smart, huh? It’s the same thing.
It's so much more impressive than I thought it would be, I swear there's something going on in every part of the room. Do they add the unique Haunted Mansion smell in also?
Ok this is amazing, I want to live in it!
They would have to take a restraining order out on me to keep me from this place. Not because of the drinks but, due to the fact that I love Haunted Mansion so much that I would stay here and not go anywhere else on the ship. I would be the 1000 willing soul. Lol
Absolutely amazing
Time to save up! I felt very blah about the wish but i want to get on this ship.
Love it
Tom, how did you resist sitting on the Donald chair?
Love this
Daniel Joseph!
The ghost fish look sus!👀
K wish they used halogen or incandescent bulbs
I want to live there. :)
That's fire
Wow! ❤
Love it!
looks cool. just watched Nate (PMM) touring it also. id like to go on a Disney cruise, only things holding me back is $$ and being a single childless guy
02:55 Is that Paul Frees' original voice!?!? And/or Corey Burton dubbing it?
Pretty sure that’s Paul Frees. I think that clip is on an old Haunted Mansion CD I have. It has a bunch of extra recordings and outtakes on it.
I can actually feel the money leaving my pockets - I'm already booked on the Destiny but I guess I have to get on this one too
They did a much better job on this one than they did on 20K Leagues.
Very different functions for both
As usual, Disney makes it too small so half the ship will never get to see it.
I haven't really experienced this issue on other ships, Hyperspace calmed down a lot after the hype settled down
It's giving Disney/Haunted Mansion fan who has too much time and money and turned their home office "into" the Haunted Mansion. Don't lie, you've seen those video tours here on youtube of "My Haunted Mansion Office", "My Haunted Mansion Guest Room", etc. 😂😂😂
Is the place as small as it looks?
That probably depends. It’s going to be intimate, but it seemed like there were distinct areas where you could feel comfortable. If you have been on the Disney Wish, this is in the same spot where the Star Wars Hyperspace Lounge is.
Does one need to make a reservation?
De represent
The scariest ghost was the one in the bottom left of the mirror in the striped shirt at 6:54!!! lol.
wow
They have the chair! Can you sit in the chair?
You can
Funny how Disney put more effort into a parlor on a cruise ship, than they did for the Leota gift shop in Disneyland. Says a lot about their priorities these days.
There’s no exterior to the bar
@WDWNT at least the interior of the bar is great. From what I heard the new Leota gift shop in Disneyland uses decor you could buy online for cheap, as well as some AI generated art.
So that's where they put the Donald duck chair
i am surprised and disappointed how small this bar is. it's sure to be so packed all the time, it'll either be hours wait to get in or always crowded. As cool as it is, there really isn't anything unique about the experience.
All the decor was lifted straight from the ride or existing concept art. The dialog/script is from the ride too.
That said, its a labor of love from Imagineers Past, not Imagineers Present
A majority of the decor is actually new lol
Oh I love this so much but man is the space a little small so it’s going to be hard to get in there during a cruise I bet
