The Jungle Cruise is undergoing quite the transformation in both Disney World and Disneyland.
Jungle Cruise
While the Disney World ride has remained open during its re-theming, the Disneyland ride has been closed. Disney had already shared that the Disneyland version would reopen this summer and we knew that the changes at Disney World would take place over the next several months. But, now Disney has shared some BIG updates in terms of when this ride’s transformation on both coasts will be complete!
Today, Disney shared that the Jungle Cruise will reopen in Disneyland Park on July 16th, 2021! When the ride reopens in Disneyland, it will feature an updated experience with new characters and more changes as part of the ride’s transformation.
