The Jingle Cruise is back at Disney World in Magic Kingdom! That means our beloved Jungle Cruise has been completely transformed into a holiday spectacular, with Christmas presents, festive jokes, and jolly decorations. This holiday overlay runs until January 4th and is a great way to see a classic ride in a new light.
We’re taking you along with us to see all the decorations and the fully transformed attraction. Climb on and let’s go see the backside of the water.
Because this is such a popular ride anyway, and with the limited-time overlay, we can see long lines throughout the day. We highly recommend rope-dropping it or waiting until the end of the night to sneak into line before the park closes.
It’s also available during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, but since the party runs during the day, we recommend riding it during the day so you don’t miss that limited time during the party.
Decorations line the queue, from funny signs…
…to garlands…
…to lights.
The boats also have holiday-themed names!
The skippers get to wear Santa hats that still match the ride, of course. They’ll be telling plenty of holiday jokes throughout your ride through the jungle. We’ve been on the Jungle Cruise a hundred times and have the jokes memorized by now, so we love hearing new ones to spice up our ride.
Throughout the cruise, you’ll see the classic scenes with a holiday twist. Presents, lights, and other Christmas items are everywhere.
We won’t spoil it all, but know that it’s a super fun twist on the ride and a popular one to catch this holiday season. It’s only around until January 4th, so it’s a good one to prioritize during your trip.
