Due to its popularity in Disneyland, the Jungle Cruise was an obvious choice for inclusion in Walt Disney World's Adventureland. Under the watchful eye of Marc Davis, Disney World’s Jungle Cruise featured more "sight gags" and a longer ride time then its Disneyland counterpart. Scenes including: Inspiration Falls, the gorillas in the safari camp, pygmy war canoes, the Bengal Tiger, and the especially the Cambodian Ruins, gave Disney World's Jungle Cruise a unique feel <ref name= "widen"> http://www.omniluxe.net/wyw/jc.htm </ref>. Construction began on the Jungle Cruise in the spring of 1969 <ref name= "widen"/> and the attraction was ready for the Magic Kingdom's opening day on October 1, 1971.

On November 7, 2013 Disney announced that the Jungle Cruise would be getting a holiday layover during the winter holiday season. During this time the attraction was renamed "Jingle Cruise" and the attraction's plot was slightly altered. According to Disney:
{{Quotation|In this new seasonal storyline of the attraction, the Skippers have grown homesick for the holidays, so they’ve added holiday cheer to the Jungle Cruise queue and boathouse with decorations that have been mailed to them from home (plus a few they’ve created themselves). The Skippers have also added a slew of new jokes to their tours that are the perfect way to get guests in the holiday spirit. Additionally, Jungle Cruise boats have been renamed with the holidays in mind, and if guests listen carefully, they may hear a holiday-themed radio broadcast playing in the background.<ref> http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2013/10/jungle-cruise-goes-jingle-cruise-for-the-holidays-at-disneyland-park-magic-kingdom-park/ </ref>}}
