Join skipper aboard the Jingle Cruise at Magic Kingdom for a joyful boat ride this holiday season.

Magic Kingdom is full of holiday spirit this time of year. Not only is the Walt Disney World Park transformed into a winter wonderland for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, but some of the park’s rides are spreading their own holiday cheer! The popular attraction Jungle Cruise is now Jingle Cruise and will take guests on a joyful boat ride with holiday themed jokes, seasonal props and all kinds of holiday cheer!

Just like last year, the Jungle Cruise Skippers are homesick for the holidays and to add some cheer on the job they have decorated the attraction queue and boathouse with homemade decorations, gifts and items from back home. Each boat has temporarily been renamed with a holiday moniker and the Skippers are ready to tell their seasonal jokes. There is even a holiday-themed radio broadcast playing in the background in the queue. 

As you float along the river you will also notice many of Jungle Cruise’s usual props covered in decoration. You’ll see the plane that wrecked and dropped all the holiday decorations, encampments ready for the holidays after finding scattered loot, jungle residents readying themselves to receive, and lots of campy seasonal jokes from the goofy Skippers.

Experience the Jungle Cruise-themed restaurant Skipper Canteen coming to Magic Kingdom in late 2015. 

This year’s Jingle Cruise will be even more exciting than last as the ride welcomes a new restaurant called Jungle Skipper Canteen. The restaurant is currently under construction in Adventureland and is slated to open later this year. Guests will be able to couple their fun-filled boat ride with “World Famous Jungle Cuisine.” The jungle-themed restaurant will include several dinning rooms like a crew mess hall and a once-hidden secret meeting room of the famed Society of Explorers and Adventurers. 

The Jingle Cruise runs now through early January 2016.
