Guests hoping to chart a course for high adventure on a scenic and comedic boat tour of exotic rivers across Asia, Africa and South America will be out of luck later this summer.
Jungle Cruise, the classic opening day attraction at Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World is to close for a period of refurbishment later this summer.
The much loved attraction located in Adventureland, originally opened on October 1, 1971, and has been taking guests on a 10 minute river cruise ever since!
Boat tours will be temporarily stopping soon with the Jungle Cruise undergoing refurbishment beginning August 26 through until at least September 7.
The exact length of the closure is unknown as the details taken from the Walt Disney World Calendar, are currently only available until Sept. 7.
Adventure Around Every Corner
Embark on a river cruise where dangerous beasts and dry wit abound. Board a canopied tramp steamer piloted by your trusty skipper, who will expertly navigate you through some of the world’s most treacherous waters.
Steam past lush foliage, butterflies and waterfalls on the Amazon in South America. Glimpse an abandoned camp overrun by curious gorillas on the shores of the African Congo.
Watch for angry hippos, hungry lions and “sleeping” zebras along the Nile and be on the lookout for a missing Jungle Cruise vessel and its helpless passengers. As the cruise continues down the Mekong River, you just might learn that the jungle always gets the last laugh.
It’s a 10-minute, 10,000-mile journey that you won't soon forget!
