Do you have a favorite “Land” in Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom? Adventureland is home to some true Disney classics like The Enchanted Tiki Room, Jungle Cruise, and of course, Pirates of the Caribbean….and is the perfect place to find all sorts of adventure! Read more
There are a lot of surprises all around Walt Disney World! And sometimes you have to be careful, because you might get a little wet if you don’t look where you are going. Although….. during the heat of the summer….that’s not a bad thing! Read more
I dislike when rides are closed, even when I know that they really needed refurbished. I have no idea why it bothers me so much but it does, even when these attractions are not on my “can’t miss” list. I guess because if I wanted to ride it I can’t. So I was really excited (for some reason I cannot pinpoint) when I heard that Jungle Cruise had reopened recently. Read more
Once upon a time, Jungle Cruise was the coolest thing around when it came to animals and Disney World. The idea that you could take a boat ride on some of the “rivers of the world” and have someone guide you as you drifted by wild animals and headhunters…well unless you were planning a real trip down the Amazon, this was the next best thing. In Disney style of course. Then Disney’s Animal Kingdom was born…and suddenly those animatronic “wild” animals seemed sort of…..well not very wild, at least not compared to the real thing.
But I don’t think that has lessened the charm of Jungle Cruise. I still think the animals are pretty awesome, and I still totally appreciate the technology that created them. It really is an amazing attraction!
Of course, the Boat Guides are pretty darn entertaining themselves….. 🙂
Many thanks to Brenda for this great photo!
