==Attraction History==
The genesis of what would eventually be known as the Jungle Cruise was personally developed by began in the 1950s with Walt and his team of Imagineers Disney's True Life Adventures. Walt wanted to create an attraction for the opening of his DisneylandPark that would take inspiration from the films series, particularly from the "African Lion" installment <ref> http://www. It was later recreated in Florida for themeparktourist.com/features/20150821/30496/jungle-cruise-amazon-adventure-orange-grove </ref>. Disney enlisted the first opening help of Harper Goff (who had worked on the Magic Kingdomfilm 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea) to help design the attraction. Of all Goff used not only the rides that opened with True Life series for inspiration, but also the original Disneyland1951 film, ''The African Queen'' <ref name= "Spence"> http://land.allears.net/blogs/jackspence/2009/11/jungle_cruise_1.html </ref>. That film featured the Jungle Cruise was one of two main characters traveling down a river in Africa aboard a steam boat. Goff took the few not movies basic premise, and expanded it to be connected to a Disney moviealso include rivers in South America and Asia <ref name= "Spence"/>. Harper According to Goff suggested the ride be based on :{{Quotation|"Walt and I had both seen the film 'The African Queen' and the animals were never completely visible, a 1951 film staring Humphrey Bogart they were partially hidden in the underbrush on shore or just under the water. So we began to think of hippos and Katharine Hepburnother animals whose mechanics and tracks could be hidden and still have animated elements"<ref> http://allears.net/ae/issue743.htm </ref>.}}[[Image:Junglewalt. jpg|400px|thumb|Walt originally wanted Disney surveying Disneyland's Jungle Cruise]]During the Jungle Cruise's early stages, Walt Disney had hoped to use live real animals for in the attraction<ref> http://www.florida-project.com/walt-disney-world-photos/magic-kingdom/adventureland/jungle-cruise </ref>. After researching the issue and consulting with animal specialists however, an idea it was decided that live animals would later not be used feasible for Disney's Animal Kingdoma number of reasons. HoweverFor starters, live Disney decided that the animals who may not stay in the areas designed for themwould be too unpredictable to center a scripted show around, would sleep and that the passing guests would have been bothered by agitate the tour boatsanimals. Furthermore, so audio-animatronics were used it would cost Disney a lot of money, land, and man power to take care of the animals <ref name= "Spence"/>. After weighing these issues Walt decided to use artificial (Audio Animatronic) animals insteadof real ones. The decision to switch to audio-animatronics allowed Audio Animatronic animals used in the Imagineers to control the scenes that attraction were shown to sculpted by Chris Mueller and built at the audience on the boat, which also allowed for an array Disney Studio in Burbank (although some of jokes that could be given to the skippers to use throughout the touranimals were built on site) <ref> http://matterhorn1959. Imagineer Marc Davis, who became known as a master at visual jokes, created jokes within each scene that could be recognized immediatelyblogspot.com/2009/11/making- a necessity when only a short time jungle-cruise-animals-1954_03.html </ref>. Engineer Bob Mattey was given to each individual sceneresponsible for the effects that made the animals move <ref> http://allears.net/ae/issue743.htm </ref>.
The In order to landscape the Jungle Cruise queue , Disney turned to Bill Evans who was reworked and expanded in 1994, providing more roomcharge of gardening all of Disneyland. Evans used foliage from nurseries all over California, more shade improvements to as well as displaced vegetation from the props that set construction of the scene Santa Ana Freeway for the ride<ref> http://articles.latimes.com/1992-08-30/realestate/re-8294_1_jungle-cruise </ref>. When choosing the foliage that would be found within the attraction, Evans said he hoped to create a "Hollywood Jungle" that would create the feeling that guests were entering uncharted territory <ref> http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2013/04/its-a-jungle-out-there-the-history-of-jungle-cruise-horticulture/ </ref>
==Attraction plot==As you leave The Jungle Cruise opened with the dockrest of Disneyland on July 17, the skipper will introduce themselves as well as begin the jokes that will continue throughout 1955 to rave reviews <ref> http://www.davelandweb.com/junglecruise/ </ref>. Although the attraction. The ride starts on was popular, one day Walt heard a guest say (referring to the Amazon riverJungle Cruise), with large plants including large butterflies with wingspans from "12 inches up We don't need to 1 ft"go on that ride, we've already seen it. The boat passes waterfalls” Horrified, at which point the boat moves Disney realized that he needed to update Disneyland's attractions in order to keep the Congo riverattention of return visitors. There the boat passes an empty pygmy campTo accomplish this, followed by an enormous pythonWalt asked Marc Davis to refresh the Jungle Cruise <ref name= "Spence"/>. As Davis changed the boat moves up tone of the river attraction, making it passes another campa humorous trip, as opposed to the danger filled adventure that it had previously been. To this one overrun by monkeysend, Davis created the Indian Elephant Pool scene (which opened in 1962) as well as the African Veldt and Lost Safari scenes (which opened in 1964). The boat then moves to At this time, the Nilescript for the Jungle Cruise was rewritten, giving it a much lighter (and pun dependent) narration <ref name="Spence"/>.
The boat begins on Due to its popularity in Disneyland, the Nile by through Jungle Cruise was an obvious choice for inclusion in Walt Disney World's Adventureland. Under the bathing African elephants and African veld which features giraffeswatchful eye of Marc Davis, wildebeests, zebras Disney World’s Jungle Cruise featured more "sight gags" and a pride of lions. The boat longer ride time then passes its Disneyland counterpart. Scenes including: Inspiration Falls, the gorillas in the final safari camp shown, this one with several men having climbed up a totem pole, being threatened by a rhino. After passing two crocodilespygmy war canoes, the boat narrowly avoids being doused by Schweitzer falls Bengal Tiger, and passes airplane wreckage. This is followed by the hippo pool and especially the returning of the pygmies dancing in Cambodian Ruins, gave Disney World's Jungle Cruise a circleunique feel <ref name= "widen"> http://www.

===2021 Attraction Overhaul===
In January 2021, Disney announced that the Jungle Cruise would be updated to give the attraction "more humor, wildlife, and skipper heart" while also "reflecting the valuing the diversity of the world around us". In March 2021, Imagineer expanded on the upcoming changes, noting the for the first time the attraction would have a unifying storyline:
[Static]{{Quotation|For the first time, we are actually linking scenes together.
"This is Trader Dan reporting So if you think of the famous rhino pole scene, with the team of explorers who have somehow camped that night and then been run up the pole by the rhino and a tacky [static]group of other animals… that will really kick off the storyline. We just made it through butDid you ever wonder who those explorers were or where they came from? What’s their backstory? As part of the enhanced storyline, but it was closeeach one of them will have their own story and cultural heritage. They'reThere’s a birdwatcher, they're armed with arrowsan entomologist, poison dartsa wildlife painter, repeatand a photographer, hostile [static] are attackingand each one will have a different reason for being on the expedition. Stay clear And, of course, they did one of the river north things you’re never supposed to do, which is leave the boat. And one of [static]the things we’re adding to the attraction is an animatronic skipper, who’s been chased up the pole by the rhino, along with the other explorers. They each have great personality, and I think our guests will connect with these characters in new ways. So we’re not really re-envisioning that scene, we’re just adding a narrative and storytelling to bring things to life and connect that moment with other happenings along the river."
''Back And you may ask yourself, Wait, what happened to Sir Reginaldtheir boat? And we find out that the front of the boat has been beached upon these rocks.''We wanted to put something here that feels like Marc Davis had a hand in it, that has a bit of humor in it. And we wanted the animals to have the last laugh. So you’ll see that the family of chimpanzees has moved in. And we don’t currently have chimps on this attraction—all of these amazing animals have been brought to life through the years on the Jungle Cruise and yet we’ve never had chimpanzees. The family of chimpanzees jumps on the wreckage of the boat and they are almost making fun of us. One is wearing the skipper’s hat and is on the microphone. The mother chimp has opened up all the maps and it looks like she’s reading them. A little chimp has gotten into the wildlife painter’s supplies and has made a mess with paint everywhere. It’s the animals really getting the last laugh in this cute scene—these silly explorers really came in and invaded their world <ref> https://d23.com/enhancements-coming-to-the-jungle-cruise/ </ref>.}}[[Image:JungleCruiseMonkeyBoat.jpg|thumb|500px|A family of chimpanzees aboard a wrecked Jungle Cruise boat.

Subsequent to the announcement, the first major change came to the Jungle Cruise on April 5, 2021, when the Trader Sam figure was removed from the ride <ref> https://wdwnt.com/2021/04/photos-trader-sam-removed-from-jungle-cruise-at-walt-disney-world/ </ref>. Although still unfinished, a new scene depicting Trader Sam's Gift Shop is expected to debut in 2021. Concept art for the upcoming scene shows that Trader Sam has turned the Jungle Navigation Company's Lost and Found into his own gift shop <ref> https://attractionsmagazine.com/trader-sam-animatronic-jungle-cruise-replaced-with-trader-sams-gift-shop/ </ref>. Unfortunately for Sam, while he is out in the jungle looking for inventory a group of monkeys appears to have raided his shop.

"Attention all boats on {{Quotation|In this new seasonal storyline of the Irawaddy near Mandalay. This is attraction, the colonial portmaster.

Passing thru hippo pool... looking at passenger in back===Main Ride===[[Image:python2.jpg|thumb|500px|A python on the Congo River.Photo: Disney|alt= Jungle Cruise Python Magic Kingdom]]The Jungle Cruise features a live skipper and thus the script for the attraction is often unique.The description below does not give the skipper's dialogue; it instead focuses on the sights that guests see while on the attraction.For a list of jokes that the skippers on the Jungle Cruise often use see: [[List of Jungle Cruise Jokes]]
The Jungle Cruise begins with guests exiting the loading dock and entering the Amazon River. Here, they see giant butterflies, remnants of a safari, and Inspiration Falls. After traveling down the Amazon, guests transition to the Congo River. Here, the first thing guests see is the sight of pygmy war canoes on a nearby beach. Although the boats are empty, the sound of tribal drums beating in the distance can be heard as the boat continues on. After turning a corner, guests come face to face with a yellow and brown python, before the skipper decides to swing by camp to pick up supplies. When guests arrive at the camp however, it seems gorillas have overrun it. Near the bank of the water, a jeep is flipped over and cans and boxes are scattered all along the beach. Inside the tent, a group of gorillas are seen "playing" with various belongings. The father ape tries to put on a small helmet, as the mother ape sits nearby holding a baby. Also in the tent, two young gorillas are shown holding guns, which they are “innocently” pointing towards the boat.
Oh, I'm sorry. Didja get a little bit wet? I betcha thought it was water too... well it'snot.....
As the boat travels on pass the camp, guests enter the Nile River. Here, they pass by African elephants who "trumpet" as the boat passes by. Further on, guests see gnus, giraffes, zebras, impala, and vultures in the distance. The boat also passes by lion’s den, where a pack of lions are shown eating a zebra.
Approaching native villageAfter taking a sharp turn past the lion’s den, guests see the "trapped skipper scene".Here, Skipper Felix Penchman XIII and his passangers Dr.Lenoard Moss, Rosa Soto Dominguez, and Dr.Kon Chonsuke appear to have left their boat and been run up a pole by a wild rhinoceros.Past the trapped group, guests come across a beach which features two large crocodiles (named Old Smiley and Ginger) who hiss as guests pass by.[[Image:JungleHippo.jpg|thumb|500px|A hipppatamous on the Jungle Cruise. Photo: Disney.| alt= Jungle Cruise hippo]] Past the crocodiles and straight ahead, guests see the beautiful Scenic Falls. Passing the falls, the boat then takes another sharp turn, before it enters the hippo pool. Here (with the sound of crickets in the background) guests navigate past some hippopotamuses, which pop out of the water on either side of the boat. Although the hippo’s initially pose a threat to guests, the skipper fires a warning shot which keeps the hippos at bay. In the hippo pool scene, guests can also see the back half of an airplane (the front half of the plane was formally used in the [[Great Movie Ride]]).
Just past the hippo pool, guests come upon the headhunter village. Here, the sound of the native drums can once again be heard in the distance. Along a nearby beach, a canoe full of skulls can be seen in front a small hut, which houses three warriors jumping around with their spears. Nearby, a smaller hut houses three drummers who have seemingly been making the beats that guests have heard in the background.
Uh-oh... this is not a good sign. When we shot to scare off After surviving the hipposvillage, it also alerted the nativesboat is attacked by Zulu warriors. And when they dance around Seven men hide in circles like this, it the bushes along the shore with their spears raised. Although the sound of whizzing spears can only mean one thing.be heard overhead, guests survive the attack, and soon find themselves passing under Schweitzer Falls.The Falls mark the transition between the Nile and Mekong (formally called the Irrawaddy) Rivers. this is a bad place to be headed!
As the boat enters the Mekong River, guests find themselves heading into ancient ruins. On either side of the boat, crocodiles watch closely as the riders pass by. As guests enter a temple, the boat passes by a statue of the Hindu God Vishnu. Inside the crumbling temple, relics depicting scenes of Hindu mythology surround guests, and for a brief moment the boat passes by a tiger who growls menacingly. Just pass the tiger, a python stares intently at the boat as it passes by. Traveling deeper into the ruins, guests hear the soft sound of xylophones in the background. Two pythons sway to the music, as the boat passes a mound of treasure, as well as giant spiders (similar to the ones that were formally found in the [[Haunted Mansion]]).
For those of you After exiting the temple, guests find themselves in the back, if you get an arrowElephant Bathing Pool. While elephants squirt water around them, take it out.the boat narrowly misses getting sprayed.Just beyond the elephant bathing pool; guests pass Trader Sam's Gift Shop (which the salesman seems to have repurposed from the Jungle Navigation Co. otherwise you'll be stuck with it..s Lost and Found. After passing the shop guests arrive back at the dock and unload.
