The Beak and Barrel, scheduled to open later this year, will be themed as a pirate bar founded by the “legendary pirate rumrunner” Captain Meridian “Merry” Goldwyn, and her “talkative first mate” Rummy, an animatronic parrot who will “keep an eye on the place” from a roost atop the bar.”

The Hatbox Ghost is arguably the most famous single animatronic in Disney history, mainly due to its urban legend status. The figure, which features an effect where the character’s head would “disappear” and then “reappear” inside the hatbox he was holding, had been very briefly included in the original Disneyland Haunted Mansion’s attic during soft opening previews as well as some marketing materials.
