Jungle Cruise


Description from PassPorter's Walt Disney World Guidebook:

See the sights along the “rivers of the world” in the company of a silly skipper. You and your fellow explorers will go chug-chugging up river in an open-air, awning-covered river boat inspired by the “African Queen.” Every skipper tells a slightly different tale. Audio-Animatronics animals and “natives” liven things up. You may get damp. Watch for the Jingle Cruise during the holidays. Outdoor, covered queue. Transfer from ECV to wheelchair. Alex’s ToddlerTip: :) Allie’s KidTip: “Lions, and tigers, and King Cobra!” TweenTip: “One of my favorites!”

What PassPorter Readers Think of Jungle Cruise (83 comments):

Always a must do. Reminds me of my visits when MK was the only game in town.

I love the corny jokes. It is fun. I am comparing to Disneyland and I like how you go inside the building. I like it better at night. It seems more magical.
DisneyKimber gave this a rating of 7 on 06/30/2016 at 5:52:29 pm EDT

We almost died several times... from the horrible puns. It's a fun experience that's different every time you go thanks to the jokes being made up on the fly.

Very fun at night.

Nostalgia!

Another must do because of its classic nature. Be nice to the boat captain...their half of the show!
RandyF1979 gave this a rating of 7 on 06/26/2016 at 8:10:23 pm EDT

The ride is better if you have a very good captain.

Still a favorite of our family.

corny jokes but still cute and enjoyable

The corny jokes still make me laugh!

A nice break from walking, especially if you have a great guide.
TomiRocket gave this a rating of 6 on 06/24/2016 at 11:53:13 am EDT

The Christmas version of the cruise was especially fun. Theming was excellent. A classic Disney attraction that never gets old.
DoctorPeds gave this a rating of 7 on 06/24/2016 at 10:24:31 am EDT

This is a great, classic Walt attraction. It is awesome when you get a really dry sense of humored skipper!
MissyMouse70 gave this a rating of 10 on 06/18/2016 at 9:37:49 pm EDT

This is a Disney classic. The corny jokes makes this an enjoyable ride. I think I might know the Captain's script by heart.
scott disney dad gave this a rating of 8 on 06/18/2016 at 5:01:59 pm EDT

This is an original ride, that one should see at least once. Lines can be long, but Fass Pass helps with this. We love the scenery, and the jokes are corny, but much appreciated! We love the water rides at Disney, and the animals in the scenery make you feel like you are on a Jungle Safari!
JKDenn gave this a rating of 10 on 06/17/2016 at 3:27:37 pm EDT

Classic, not my favorite but I go on about every third trip.
Papa Jim gave this a rating of 6 on 06/17/2016 at 2:43:42 pm EDT

If you have children, they will appreciate this ride as well as the 'comedy' provided by your boat captain. As it is one of the original attractions, it is a bit tired. I rode this the first few times at WDW but have since started to pass it by in favor of other rides.
Missi gave this a rating of 5 on 06/17/2016 at 12:39:23 pm EDT

Bad puns and one liners are the theme of the day for this ride. So bad they're good!!
chelynnah gave this a rating of 9 on 06/17/2016 at 12:23:26 pm EDT

Worn out but still nostalgic... so much depends on the quality delivery from the boat captain. Sweet to catch this on way out of park at night.
Cannibalking525 gave this a rating of 7 on 06/17/2016 at 9:54:22 am EDT

It's a classic. The jokes never get old, but the ride has to be taken in the corny spirit in which it is intended. We always ride it at least once. A second time after dark can be a totally different experience.

Funny radio in queue when you can hear it

If you don't enjoy this ride, you're in "De-Nile!" This is one of my absolute favs.

Classic Disney ride - the corny jokes crack me up and the young kids will love a chance to steer the boat!
aat912 gave this a rating of 7 on 06/14/2016 at 4:24:46 pm EDT

Skipped it for many years in a row and then decided to try again just to see if it had improved but still was very boring and a complete waste of time.

Disneymom7702 gave this a rating of 9 on 06/14/2016 at 3:32:26 am EDT

One of our favorites! Classic ride! Love to ride multiple times to hear different corny jokes! The only downside is that the wait is usually really long, slow moving, and hot.

I love the backside of water...!!

This is one of the many classics in the Magic Kingdom Park. What makes this attraction entertaining is the interaction with the Jungle Skipper.

Loved this ... Great for a laugh. Heard it's even better at night.

The right skipper can make this attraction great.

Classic and always fun. Prepare for long and slow lines when park is crowded.
Grooviamommy gave this a rating of 8 on 06/03/2016 at 3:14:55 am EDT

The corniness of this used to fun, but once you've done it a few times, it's just dull.

Very funny but the line is too long
KDevines gave this a rating of 7 on 06/02/2016 at 11:46:54 pm EDT

You HAVE to ride this ride to understand classic Disney! It's silly and irreverent, but oh so much fun; don't miss it!
mikeserin gave this a rating of 10 on 05/30/2016 at 6:55:32 pm EDT

Classic ride...Must do for every visit! Great ride if you get the right skipper!
mom2three23 gave this a rating of 7 on 05/30/2016 at 4:34:47 pm EDT

Just the best of old Disney! And if you get to steer the boat, look out! My 9 year old daughter still has no idea the it is on a track, and she brings her driver's license to the park. That's a magic I don't want to end!
lisasport gave this a rating of 7 on 05/30/2016 at 1:07:23 pm EDT

Cute ride if the line isn't too long. All depends on the personality of your Skipper as to how good the experience is.

We had not ridden Jungle Cruise for several years. It was a little disappointing. While it brings back wonderful memories, I think that it could definitely use some updates.

Goofy and silly, but fun and a Disney classic. If you are use to riding this during the day time, come back and try it at night for a different kind of corn.
