The Servants Quarters is a room in the Liberty Square's Haunted Mansion.
Description[]
The Servants Quarters was typically used for guests who wanted/needed to go from the Foyer to the Loading Zone without passing through the Stretching Room, these guests are guided through by either a butler or a maid. The room is filled with old furnishing and lamps mounted on arm statues similar (though not identical) to those found in the Exit Crypt. Mounted on the wall also is a carved piece of wood taken from (or at least made to look like it was taken from) the Antebellum Mansion in Disneyland and which is used as a mantle for a clock. At an unknown point, cast members stopped allowing access to this route, due to social media making its existence too well-known. A large amount of guests were said to be using the room to skip the line, even though it was intended to be a way for guests with sensory issues such as Epilepsy to bypass the Stretching Room, which could aggravate their conditions.
The room features a board with keys for the different rooms and chambers in the Mansion, and another board with bells labelled: Ambassador Xavier's Lounging Lodge, Madame Leota's Boudoir, Grandfather McKim's Resting Room, Uncle Davis' Sleeping Salon, Master Gracey's bedchamber, Colonel Coats' Bivouac Berth, and Professor Wathel's Reposing Lounge.
