00:00Hey, it's Bennett from The New 96.5. I just hopped aboard the brand new Disney Treasure,
00:05and of course, my first stop had to be the Haunted Mansion Parlor. My eyes are so wide
00:10taking in all the beautiful scenery here. I have Danny here, who is the mastermind behind this.
00:15Nice to meet you.
00:16Nice to meet you, too.
00:16My gosh, this is really, really cool. I feel like I'm in a scene of a haunted movie. I feel
00:21like a set of a movie. This is very, very cool.
00:23Yeah, we wanted to recreate the attraction experience from Disneyland and Walt Disney
00:27World. It's a seven-minute ride through. Try to stretch it out to this 45-minute bar
00:31and lounge experience. When you're in here, you'll hear ghosts materialize. You'll see
00:35them materialize in really cool ways. Depending on where you sit, you might hear or see something
00:39different.
00:39That's wild. So how did you come up with all these finer details? Are these part of
00:44something you've always fantasized about? Put this together in one room for this one experience?
00:49Yeah. When we decided to put Haunted Mansion on the Disney Treasure, we wanted it to feel
00:54authentic to the attraction. So the purple wallpaper, all the little eyes. If you look
00:59in the carpet here, there's eyes that look back at you and the walls and the sconces.
01:02Everywhere there's eyes staring at you, which is that creepy Haunted Mansion feel. But then
01:06we wanted to give it a nautical twist, too, because we're on a cruise ship.
01:09Sure.
01:10So we wanted to celebrate that.
01:11Yeah. I feel like Disney is all about the details and you did not miss a beat with the
01:16wallpaper, the carpets, everything about this place is super, super cool. Do you have a
01:21favorite, like a highlight that you were like, yeah, this is a Danny touch?
01:24Oh, one of my favorites is the Ghost Fish Aquarium over here. So this is a design that
01:30our legendary Imagineer, Raleigh Crump, designed in the 1960s. He sketched it out,
01:35never saw the light of day until we went through the archives and found it. And then we got to
01:39materialize it as a brand new special effect exclusive to the parlor. And so wherever you
01:43sit in here, you'll see ghost fish materialize. They'll rise out of their little tombstones.
01:47That is wild.
01:49Yeah. My eyes went right to it. Once I walked in, I was like, that is really something special.
01:53Big centerpiece.
01:53Tell me about the drinks that you can have in the Haunted Mansion Parlor. I imagine that they're
01:57pretty, like they're themed out, right?
01:58Absolutely. Yeah. They're all inspired by the attraction. And so one of my favorites,
02:03it's called the Chilling Challenge. And it comes in this box. You open the box,
02:07there's smoke that billows out and there's a hidden message written in the foam itself.
02:12And so there's just some really fun attention to detail, some great collectible mugs,
02:16if you like to, you know, collect those kind of tiki mugs and things.
02:19It's themed to some of the ghosts that you'll meet in our show experience.
02:22So the kids are going to the kids club and the parents are going to play here
02:24in the Haunted Mansion Parlor.
02:26Absolutely.
02:27That's right. That's right.
02:28I'm like peeking behind us too. We've got the fireplace and tell me about this clock too.
02:32It's a 13 hour clock, like you see in the attraction and,
02:36oh, you know what that means? That means the spirits have arrived and here they are.
02:40Oh my gosh. Ian, my favorite human being. Thank you.
02:43He's been dying to meet you this whole time. You know, they're all dying.
02:46They're all dying.
02:48I, do you know what that means?
02:50What does that mean?
02:51You better take a sip and enjoy the swinging wake because the ghost is about to materialize.
02:56Cheers.
02:57Cheers, my friend.
02:57Thank you so much, Danny.
03:01That is tasty.
03:02Thank you. Only here at the Haunted Mansion Parlor inside the brand new Disney Treasure.
03:06Thank you so much. I appreciate it.
03:08Cheers.
