New Sculpture Honoring Disney Legend Rolly Crump Bound for the Haunted Mansion Parlor on the Disney Treasure

A mysterious and special addition is in the works for the Haunted Mansion Parlor aboard the Disney Treasure, and it’s none other than a sculpture inspired by the legendary Disney Imagineer, Rolly Crump. Crafted at a dedicated Walt Disney Imagineering workshop at Walt Disney World Resort, this sculpture pays homage to the man who played a pivotal role in designing the original Haunted Mansion at Disneyland Resort.

Nicknamed “Rolly” by Walt Disney himself during the early days of the company, Rolly Crump has left an indelible mark on Disney Parks, and his influence continues with this unique sculpture. As the world commemorates Rolly Crump on his birthday, this Ship’s Log reveal becomes even more special. Six decades after his creative contributions, the Haunted Mansion Parlor onboard the Disney Treasure promises to unlock the next chapter of the Haunted Mansion saga for Disney Cruise Line guests.

Rolly Crump’s original concept for a “Museum of the Weird” in the Haunted Mansion included a character melting like a candle, showcasing his penchant for the weird and fantastical. In homage to this visionary Imagineer, the design of Rolly’s memorial bust incorporates sculpted drips on the side of his face, capturing the essence of his creative spirit. A memorial plaque accompanying the bust reads, “BROTHER ROLAND- FOREVER REVERED FOR EMBRACING THE WEIRD.” When the Disney Treasure sets sail, Rolly Crump’s statue will take pride of place within the Haunted Mansion Parlor, a fitting tribute to his enduring legacy.
