Legendary Disney Imagineer Rolly Crump will be honored with his own bust within The Haunted Mansion Parlor coming to the new Disney Treasure cruise ship.
What’s Happening:
- A new sculpture, bound for The Haunted Mansion Parlor onboard the Disney Treasure, is being crafted at a dedicated Walt Disney Imagineering workshop at Walt Disney World.
- This mysterious bust was modeled in the image of the famed Disney Legend, Rolly Crump, with the news being revealed on what would have been his 94th birthday.
- Nicknamed “Rolly” by Walt Disney himself, during the early days of the company he played an integral role in designing the original Haunted Mansion at Disneyland.
- Six decades later, The Haunted Mansion Parlor will unlock the next chapter of The Haunted Mansion saga for Disney Cruise Line guests. The venue will be imbued with Crump’s unique brand of humor and is a proud continuation of his legacy, celebrating the weird and the fantastical.
- Part of Rolly’s larger creative concept for a “Museum of the Weird” in The Haunted Mansion, his original vision included a character that appeared to be melting like a candle. It was only fitting for the design for Rolly’s memorial bust to stem from his own ideas, which led to the sculpted drips on the side of his face and a memorial plaque that reads, “BROTHER ROLAND- FOREVER REVERED FOR EMBRACING THE WEIRD.”
- When the Disney Treasure sets sail, Rolly Crump’s statue will have a place of honor within The Haunted Mansion Parlor.
More on the Disney Treasure:
- The Disney Treasure will set sail on its maiden voyage on December 21st, 2024, embarking on its inaugural season of seven-night itineraries to the Eastern Caribbean and Western Caribbean from Port Canaveral, Florida.
