Ranking the Best New Disney Treasure Movie and Attraction Themed Lounges: From Skipper Society to Haunted Mansion Parlor

Get ready for an exciting oceanic adventure as Disney Cruise Line prepares to unveil its latest marvel, the Disney Treasure. Set to embark on its inaugural voyage on December 21, this ship promises to transport guests into the magical realms of Disney with its array of innovative lounges and activities. From the moment visitors step into the enchanting Aladdin-themed lobby, they are ushered into a world where adventure awaits — and the drink options elevate the experience substantially. Notable venues like the Haunted Mansion Parlor and the Skipper Society take cues from beloved Disney rides and films, providing guests with a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the magic of Disney.

Each lounge aboard the Disney Treasure showcases meticulously crafted designs inspired by various Disney classics, often blending elements from iconic movies and attractions. While some fan-favorite spots — such as the Beauty and the Beast-themed nightclub, The Rose, from the Disney Wish — make a return, the ship also features five exclusive lounges, including one that recalls the cherished but long-gone 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea attraction.

Recently, ScreenRant had the unique opportunity to preview these lounges during a three-day press trip aboard the Disney Treasure ahead of its official launch. Below, we present a ranked list of these exciting venues, each deserving a visit when you set sail.

5. Skipper Society

A Relaxing Jungle Cruise-Inspired Oasis

While the Disney Treasure shares its lineage with the Disney Wish, it trades the Princess and the Frog-styled lounge, The Bayou, for the Jungle Cruise-inspired Skipper Society. Nestled conveniently near the lobby, this lounge features a number of delightful nods to the beloved attraction, including vintage luggage tags and storytelling postcards recounting past adventures.

The lounge’s vibrant colors, textures, and rhythmic music pay homage to both versions of the Jungle Cruise ride. Guests can indulge in themed beverages, such as the cleverly named Hippopotomai-Tai, which combines Bayab gin and Campari — despite facing stiff competition from the other lounges, Skipper Society remains an ideal spot for socializing and relaxation.

4. Sharab

A Tribute to the African Savanna

With the much-anticipated film Mufasa hitting theaters on December 20, the timing couldn’t be better for the introduction of the Sarabi lounge, inspired by The Lion King. Known for its expansive space that spans two decks and features a stunning two-story LED screen, Sarabi sets the stage for engaging live performances, such as the “Choose Wisely! An Indiana Jones Comedy Adventure.”

Guests can savor delightful drinks, including the refreshing Pride Sunset, which blends Sango Agave, Passion Orange Guava, and Pama Pomegranate, while enjoying captivating entertainment.

3. Periscope Pub

A Nod to a Classic Disney Attraction

Bringing back the spirit of the long-closed 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea attraction, Periscope Pub captivates guests with its stunning design featuring a nautical blue-and-gold palette. Complete with a breathtaking aquarium screen overhead displaying real-time ocean footage reminiscent of Captain Nemo’s voyages, the lounge is a feast for the senses.

Every detail seeks to engage, from the cleverly hidden references to the classic Disney ride and 1954 film to subtle nods toward other attractions. Guests are sure to enjoy the Outis Daiquiri, a delightful concoction crafted with SelvaRey White Rum, Luxardo Maraschino, lime, and grapefruit.

2. Scat Cat Lounge

A Purr-fect Combination of Drinks and Atmosphere

Although The Aristocats may not be the first film associated with adventure, the Scat Cat Lounge takes guests on a delightful journey with its creative cocktail offerings. Standout drinks like the Strawberry Jam and the innovative Grape Jam paired with Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey served alongside a classic PB&J sandwich offer flavors you won’t forget.

The lounge’s decor fuses the feline charm of The Aristocats with vibrant colors reminiscent of Aladdin, while live performances near the grand piano fill the room with enchanting jazz renditions of beloved Disney tunes. Guests can also enjoy non-alcoholic options, such as the refreshing zero-proof Parisian cocktail.

1. Haunted Mansion Parlor

Claiming the top spot in lounge excellence, the Haunted Mansion Parlor invites guests into an immersive experience reminiscent of Disneyland’s classic 1969 attraction. From the moment guests cross the storied threshold marked by the Tomb Sweet Tomb sign, they are enveloped in a moody ambiance accentuated by subtle ghostly appearances.

While the drink selection may lean less adventurous than its counterparts, unique offerings such as the zero-proof Sympathetic Libations come with charming hidden messages, and the Ghostly Retreat offers tasty eyeball gummies alongside a glow cube to commemorate the visit. The ever-changing atmosphere ensures a distinct experience with every visit, making it a must-stop destination.
