The genesis of what would eventually be known as the Jungle Cruise began in the 1950s with Walt Disney's True Life Adventures in the 1950s. Walt wanted to create an attraction for his Disneyland park Park that would take inspiration from the films series, particularly from the "African Lion" installment<ref> http://www.themeparktourist.com/features/20150821/30496/jungle-cruise-amazon-adventure-orange-grove </ref>. Disney enlisted the help of Harper Goff (who had worked on the film 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea) to help design the attraction. Goff used not only the True Life series for inspiration, but also the 1951 film, "''The African Queen, which '' <ref name= "Spence"> http://land.allears.net/blogs/jackspence/2009/11/jungle_cruise_1.html </ref>. That film featured the two main characters traveling down a river in Africa, aboard a steam boat. Goff took the movies basic premise, and expanded it to also include rivers in South America and Asia<ref name= "Spence"/>. According to Goff:{{Quotation|"Walt and I had both seen the film 'The African Queen' and the animals were never completely visible, they were partially hidden in the underbrush on shore or just under the water. So we began to think of hippos and other 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 Disney surveying Disneyland's Jungle Cruise]]During the Jungle Cruise's early stages, Walt Disney had hoped to use real animals 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, it was decided that live animals would not be feasible for a number of reasons. For starters, Disney decided that the animals would be too unpredictable to center a scripted show around, and that the passing guests would agitate the animals. Furthermore, 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 instead of real ones.

Although the attraction was popular, one day Walt heard a guest say (referring to landscape the Jungle Cruise), Disney turned "We don't need to Bill Evansgo on that ride, who was we've already seen it.” Horrified, Disney realized that he needed to update Disneyland's attractions in charge order to keep the attention of gardening all return visitors. To accomplish this, Walt asked Marc Davis to refresh the Jungle Cruise <ref name= "Spence"/>. Davis changed the tone of Disneylandthe attraction, making it a humorous trip, as opposed to the danger filled adventure that it had previously been.

==Attraction plot==As riders leave the dock*In 1971, the skipper introduces themselves and begins to tell corny jokes. The ride starts on bullfrogs that were located in the Amazon River. The first creatures guests see is large butterflies with wingspans from Congo scene were removed <ref name= "12 inches up to 1 ftwiden". The boat then passes waterfalls, at which point the boat moves to the Congo river. On the Congo, the boat passes and empty pygmy camp and an enormous python. The boat the continues up the river and passes another camp. This camp has been overrun by monkeys! The boat passes by and continues onto the Nile/>.

The ship begins on *In 1973, the Nile by passing through some bathing African Elephants. As the boat continues it passes an African field which features giraffes, wildebeests, zebras Jungle Cruise's queue was expanded and a pride of lions. The boat then passes the final camp shown. This camp has several man stuck on a totem pole. Below them a rhino is trying access to get up to them. Continuing on the boat passes two crocodiles and then narrowly avoids being doused by Schweitzer Falls. Riders will also notice airplane wreckage.

After passing the plane a hippo pool will appearblogspot.At this point on the ride, the pygmies once again appearcom/2012/07/three-jungle-cruise-mysteries. They are now dancing in a circle which means that they are ready to attack. The pygmies attack the boat until it goes behind Schwitzer falls. Which leads to the Skipper giving the famous "back side of water" jokehtml </ref>.

The ride's final river is *In 1991, the The Macong River in Cambodiaqueue was updated. While on At this river the boat travels inside a temple. The boat then moves inside a templetime, a departure from an office was added to the Disneyland version which is all-outdoors.

The final scene shows Chief Namee who is willing to sell shrunken heads, "two of his for one of yours"

''The next transmission is from Sir Reginald*In 1999, who was waiting for Jack's shipmentJungle Cruise skippers stopped carrying guns (which they had used to shoot at hippos), however the guns have since returned.''

===2021 Attraction Overhaul===In January 2021, Disney announced that the Jungle Cruise would be updated to give the attraction "Yes Sir Reginald.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:

"Good, jolly good. I'm trying to find out about that shipment. They called me from {{Quotation|For the home officefirst time, said the supplies would be delayed by a full month, due to problems with the jungle shipping companywe are actually linking scenes together."

''At this point So if you think of the transmission moves 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 group of other animals… that will really kick off the storyline. Did you ever wonder who those explorers were or where they came from? What’s their backstory? As part of the enhanced storyline, each one of them will have their own story and cultural heritage. There’s a birdwatcher, an entomologist, a wildlife painter, and a photographer, and each one will have a different reason for being on the expedition. And, of course, they did one of the things you’re never supposed to Trader Dando, but which is leave the boat. And one of 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 return 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 Sir Reginald afterwordsbring things to life and connect that moment with other happenings along the river.''

The second Jungle Cruise scene to be reworked was the "This is Trader Dan reporting trapped safari" scene, where a tacky [static]hunter and his porters had been run up a pole by a rhinoceros <ref> https://www.

Stay clear of After signing on with the river north Jungle Navigation Co., Pechman was tasked with piloting a group of [static]Alberta Falls' VIP guests aboard the Kwango Kate (a boat that had previously been in the Jungle Cruise fleet until being retired in 2000)."Members of the VIP party include:

The next Jungle Cruise scene to be overhauled was the "GoodPigmy Beach" scene.

Although the hippo’s initially pose a threat to turn overguests, the skipper fires a warning shot which keeps the hippos at bay... oh wellIn 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]]).
