Jungle Cruise
Jungle Cruise is the classic boat trip in Adventureland. The attraction has been here since Magic Kingdom opened on 1 October 1971. In ten minutes you travel some 16,000 kilometres: along the rivers of Asia, Africa and South America.
The concept
You board a covered steamboat with your own skipper at the helm. They guide you through "the most dangerous waters in the world" and tell one corny joke after another along the way. You sail along the Amazon with its waterfalls and butterflies, the Congo in Africa, the Nile and the Mekong.
The Experience
Along the way you'll see curious gorillas in an abandoned camp, angry hippos and hungry lions. Keep an eye out for a missing Jungle Cruise boat with its helpless passengers. The animals aren't real, of course – and the skipper loves to joke about that. The motto: the jungle always has the last word.

Listen to your skipper
The skipper's jokes are half the fun. Every skipper tells them a little differently, so a second ride is never the same.
During the holidays: Jingle Cruise
Over Christmas the attraction becomes the Jingle Cruise, with decorations and festive jokes. Afterwards, the regular Jungle Cruise returns.
Lightning Lane Multi Pass
This attraction is part of Lightning Lane Multi Pass, in the group with the busiest attractions. You can only pick one from that group; your other choices come from the second group.
Visitor information
There's no minimum height, so everyone can join in. Children under 7 must be accompanied by someone aged 14 or over. During the holidays the attraction runs as the Jingle Cruise; according to Disney, the regular Jungle Cruise returns early next year.
Laughs on the water
Jungle Cruise is perfect for the whole family. Combine the trip with Pirates of the Caribbean and The Magic Carpets of Aladdin, both nearby in Adventureland.
