The jungle cruise in Frontier Land is a boat ride through the Amazon Jungle. You get a tour guide who takes you down a river that's a lot like Humphrey Bogart's African Queen. Thoroughly enjoyable, you go deep into the "jungle and see all kinds of animatronic creatures that have actually been there since Disney opened in the early 70's. This is an original Disney attraction.
This one uses all of Disney's imagination and mixes the African animals with the plains animals and the jungle creatures of Central and South America. Unless you're Jack Hanna you and your kids don't mind that most of these animals don't actually live in a jungle - but it's Disney and who cares! It's all cool. The tour guide gives you about a ten minute ride through the winding river and shows all kinds of animals.
So you experience an entertaining monologue from your boat captain the whole time. It's pretty amusing and you'll also see a waterfall as you even glide through an ancient replica of a temple ruin from Cambodia. Surprisingly, there are lots of crocodiles, elephants, hippos, and predators to look at. There is Fast Pass for this one but this time of year the crowds are light because every body's gone back north so the lines are shorter. We got on this one in less than five
minutes. The coolest part for the Dads, you sit down and the whole ride is in the shade! A real bonus. Hope you don't miss this one when you come down.
