How to Ride Jungle Cruise

Jungle Cruise has a Standby Line and Lightning Lane. There is no  Single Rider Line .

The Standby Line for Jungle Cruise is typically the lowest first thing in the morning and at the end of the evening. The middle of the day will see the longest lines with sustained wait times of over 60 minutes.

Jungle Cruise is not available during Early Theme Park Entry or Extended Evening Hours . So, if this ride is a priority for you, planning accordingly is a must.

D o I need to use Genie+ at Jungle Cruise?

Jungle Cruise is available with Genie+  and we highly recommend using it at this attraction.

Aside from Peter Pan’s Flight , the Jungle Cruise is the second most booked ride on Genie+ at the Magic Kingdom. It’s a highly-popular ride that many park guests make a must-do during their park day. Unless you hop on this ride first thing, you should plan to reserve a Genie+ time for later in the day.

Make sure you check out our  touring plans for Magic Kingdom  for more Genie+ advice.

Rider Switch/Child Swap

Jungle Cruise is for all ages and heights. Therefore, Rider Switch , the system that allows guests with small children to take turns riding bigger rides, while another person/people wait with the little one, is not offered for Jungle Cruise.

What to Expect When You Ride

The Jungle Cruise queue is completely outdoors, with most of the line covered from the sun. While the ride doesn’t have an interactive queue like many other attractions, there are plenty of sights and sounds to enjoy.

You will find the queue decorated with prior passenger cruise logs and journals to read over. Also as you get closer to the loading station you can watch the tour boats pulling into and leaving the loading dock.

The music in the queue is also fun, including listening to what the announcer has to say.

Ride Vehicles

The ride vehicles for Jungle Cruise are small river boats. There is seating around the entire interior of the boat for guests to sit. Each boat can accompany approximately 30 guests.

There is a small 6 inch gap you must step over and down into the boat. Most guests are able to board with little to no help. There is a pole to grab on to help stabilize your boarding process in addition to Cast Members who will assist guests as needed.

You will ride in the tour boat with other groups, but your party will always be seated together next to — or at least near to one another.

There are no safety restraints, seat belts or life vests. You simply sit down and ride around inside the boat.

Accessibility Information

Guests may remain in their wheelchair/ECV while on the Jungle Cruise. A select number of boats are wheelchair accessible and have space for a single wheelchair. This includes manual, power, or ECV.

The majority of wheelchair sizes have no problem fitting on the boats. There is a separate wheelchair accessible entrance where your party can wait to board their boat.

You’ll want to speak with a Cast Member at the attraction entrance (at the top of the path that leads to the attraction) for details and directions.

Sign language interpretation and assistive listening are also offered on the Jungle Cruise ride on certain days. To obtain a schedule listing exact days and times, visit Guest Relations in the park.

Motion Sickness

Jungle Cruise’s boats are slow-moving and don’t have any fast turns, so motion sickness seems very unlikely. That said, you are riding in a boat on the water. Feel free to check out our guide on motion sickness  that’s filled with additional information and tips.

On The Ride

Ride spoilers ahead!

Prepare to sail away on an adventure of a lifetime as your cruise boat arrives into the loading dock. After some brief safety guidelines and a clear to go, your Skipper starts the tour sailing your cruise boat away from the dock and into the jungle.

Your first cruise stop in the jungle will be the Amazon rainforest where it rains 365 days a year. Here you will see beautiful butterflies with an impressive wingspan and the rushing waters of Inspiration Falls.

Next the tour will embark to the depths of Africa on the Congo River. You will pass by your Skippers pet python snake and a camp being broken down by Gorillas.

Cruising over to Egypt your Skipper will take you to the infamous Nile River which spans about 4,000 miles. Capture photos of the African bull elephants among the boulders. Long neck cheetahs, zebras, giraffes and lions are seen resting amongst one another. A rhinoceros is seen trying to make his point, chasing a group of explorers up a pole.

Watch out for danger as you enter crocodile country. Sail past the impressive Schweitzer falls which is named after the famous Dr. Albert Falls.

You will enter a hippo pool which will require some expert navigation from your Skipper as you see another tour cruise boat that did not fare so well going through them. A family of chimpanzees is seen taking over another tour cruise boat.

Next up is what everyone came to see, the 8th wonder of the world — the backside of water!

Prepare for dark encounters as your cruise boat enters the Mekong River in the heart of Cambodia. Your Skipper will take you through an Asian jungle shrine where you will pass a 500 pound tiger, several cobra snakes, giant spiders, shiny gold artifacts, and Buddha statues.

As you exit the tunnel you will find yourself in the middle of an Indian elephant bathing pool. Feel free to take as many pictures as you like. Beware — these elephants have been known to spray the boat, so watch out!

There’s no visit to the jungle complete without a stop to see Trader Sam’s gift shop.

As your tour boat approaches the dock again wait on your Skipper to give the word to gather all your belongings and disembark.

Trust us when we say to fully experience this ride, you need to try it yourself because the Skippers add a whole new level to each attraction scene. Their puns and jokes are the point of the cruise.

Is Jungle Cruise Kid-Friendly?

Overall, Jungle Cruise is very kid-friendly, as all ages and heights are permitted to board and ride.

However, keep in mind some of the animals on the cruise are very realistic and may scare little ones. There is also a short scene in which the boat rides through a very dark, almost pitch-black cave with several animatronic snakes and tigers that could be scary for children.

Anyone riding with kids may want to tell them the animals aren’t real prior to riding.

Kids are also required to remain seated completely during the entire tour. There is no exchanging of kids from one parent to another while the ride is in motion. Due to the nature of this ride being open and on the water, the Skippers are very strict about this.

We have a full guide on several other things that might scare little ones at Disney World .

Strollers are not permitted on the Jungle Cruise boats. They can be left in the designated area near the attraction entrance or with a non-rider.

Jungle Cruise was one of the original attractions ready in 1971 on Magic Kingdom’s opening day. It was also an opening day attraction at Disneyland Park in California back in 1955.

Ironically, before becoming known for its laughs and silly jokes, the attraction as a whole was initially more of a serious tone with only a few jokes inserted here and there.

The original script for Disneyland’s Jungle Cruise was written by Winston Hibler and inspired by Disney’s True-Life Adventure African Lion film. This gave the ride its more serious and educational tone, but that all changed in the ’60s when Imagineer Marc Davis took over and turned the ride into what many know and love today.

During the holidays, Jungle Cruise receives a holiday overlay and becomes the “Jingle Cruise.” The ride format stays basically the same with the addition of fun holiday-themed jokes and pretty seasonal decorations.

Believe it or not, but the holiday Jingle Cruise actually hasn’t been around that long — only since 2013!

In January 2021, Disney announced that some much-needed changes were coming to the Jungle Cruise on both coasts. Those updates are now complete.

Some of the enhancements included incorporating an animatronic skipper, new characters (like Alberta Falls), adding new jokes (don’t worry, many of the classics remain), and freshening up the story by adding chimpanzees, new explorers being chased up the pole, and making the Skippers more of a focus.

Here was the concept art for these updates that were previously shared by Disney:

Most importantly, the outdated depictions and problematic scenes have been removed .

As Walt Disney Imagineering Creative Portfolio Executive Chris Beatty told D23, “This is not a re-envisioning of the entire attraction. It’s the Jungle Cruise you know and love, with the skippers still leading the way, and at the same time, we’re addressing the negative depictions of ‘natives.'”

This also means the removal of Trader Sam from the final scene of the ride. But he isn’t totally gone; Trader Sam is still part of the attraction in a unique way.

The final scene features a Lost & Found Gift Shop with a sign indicating that it is managed by Trader Sam (in place of the Trader Sam animatronic). As stated by Disney, “But, while he’s out lost and finding some new inventory, it’s the animals that get the last laugh!”

Other Fun Details

• Rumor has it that when you enter the hippo pool, you’ll see the back half of a plane on the right, and, apparently, the front half was used in the Casablanca scene in the now-permanently closed Great Movie Ride.
• The Jungle Cruise is not based on a movie, but it did inspire one. The new live-action Jungle Cruise starring Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt was released on July 30, 2021 giving nod to this classic attraction.
• Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen is a nearby Table Service restaurant themed after the Jungle Cruise. It has a unique menu, serves alcohol, and is just as fun as the attraction. Reservations are recommended.

Jungle Cruise at Magic Kingdom

Jungle Cruise was an opening-day attraction at Magic Kingdom and an original Disneyland attraction inspired by Walt Disney. Initially, Walt Disney wanted to add live animals to the attraction. Unfortunately, adding live animals wasn’t possible at that time. However, that dream eventually came to fruition several decades later on the Kilimanjaro Safaris attraction at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

Magic Kingdom’s Jungle Cruise sits toward the back of Adventureland. It’s on the left side of the land, immediately past Swiss Family Treehouse . Jungle Cruise has a standby entrance and an individual Lightning Lane queue. This attraction often has long lines that build fairly early in the day. So it’s not the worst use of a Lightning Lane.

As the sign indicates, you’ll board a jungle boat to travel exotic rivers of the world, guided by a witty and experienced Skipper.

The queue for Jungle Cruise is relatively long and consists of two waiting areas, so it’s difficult to gauge the wait from the outside.

Here is the other portion of the queue you cannot see from the start of the line. When I took photos for this update, the wait time was 60 minutes. Many guests were walking away when they saw the posted wait. So I decided to try it and see. Surprisingly, this portion of the queue was empty, and I waited less than 10 minutes.

What I didn’t mention was that I got in line for Jungle Cruise around the time the Festival of Fantasy Parade had passed through Frontierland. Adventureland is partially blocked off when the parade begins, so fewer guests can enter the land. This causes waits at all of the Adventureland attractions to drop significantly. So, the best time to get in line for Jungle Cruise is immediately during or after the parade.

Jungle Cruise has several fun elements in the queue, like these life preservers with the boat’s name printed on them. Each boat has a fun name, like Bomokandi Bertha, Kwango Kate, Amazon Annie, Ucyali Lolly, Congo Connie, Garland Gertie, Molopo Marie, and more.

Each boat has a decent capacity, which helps the line to move continuously. Cast members load up to 20 guests per boat.

Your adventure starts on the Amazon River in South America. However, you’ll soon find yourself sailing down the Nile River and through a temple that comes out on the Mekong River in Asia!

As Disney puts it, “It’s a 10-minute, 10,000-mile journey that you won’t soon forget.”

As you set sail, you’ll notice that things have gone awry, including your Skipper’s jokes. Each boat comes equipped with a Jungle Skipper escort whose sole purpose is to share terrible jokes throughout the journey.

Seriously, don’t fall for that whole “in denial” or “in da Nile River joke.”

A group of gorillas has taken over a campsite. Did I mention you visit the Congo too?

An angry matriarch elephant is waiting to stampede.

You’ll see more audio-animatronic animals, including wildebeests and giraffes.

Here’s something you would never see on the safari at Animal Kingdom–a lion feeding her cubs. But you might see something like this on an authentic safari in Africa. Wouldn’t that be something?

Make sure to stay in the boat because you don’t want to end up at the bottom of a totem pole or, in this case, even on the pole.

After leaving this area, you’ll see waterfalls ahead.

Watch out for the crocodiles.

Soon, you’ve reached one of the seven wonders of the world–the backside of water! It’s a big deal on the Jungle Cruise.

When Jungle Cruise was last refurbished, this plane from the Casablanca scene in the former Great Movie Ride was added. You can expect a few jokes to crash land in this area.

Your skipper might also mention that a few hungry hippos are looking for dinner below you.

This shipwrecked boat is an example of what can happen.

It’s been taken over by primates.

At this point, you’ll enter a dark temple.

Unfortunately, it’s so dark I didn’t get any photos. But you’ll see a few snakes and tigers before you exit.

A fun surprise awaits when you exit the temple. A parade of elephants is bathing nearby.

Per the Skipper, they are all wearing trunks.

You can’t help but smile as they enjoy their bath. All the while wondering…

Is that one going to pop its trunk and douse you with water? Possibly, but don’t worry, it’s just a splash. They are only animatronics, so no elephant snot is involved.

Finally, we’ve reached the end, where a new scene replaced the former Trader Sam.

Trader Sam’s gift shop and photo opp is available. Those animals will do anything to make an extra buck or two! About this time, you’ll reach the dock, and you’re Skipper will ever-so-politely ask you to–Get Out!

As if we had not already discussed enough fun facts about the Jungle Cruise, one more thing comes to mind. Each year, between mid-November and the first of January, the Jungle Cruise transitions to the Jingle Cruise for Christmas.

This holiday overlay provides a festive touch. Cast members decorate the attraction for the holidays, and the jokes get even worse! So, of course, you’ll want to plan to experience this unique version during your visit. Additionally, Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt star in the 2021 movie T he Jungle Cruise, which was based on the Jungle Cruise attraction and the Society of Explorers.

The Resorts Gal Spin on Jungle Cruise

We give Jungle Cruise the red light! While you probably will want to ride it during your vacation, you do not want to wait 45 minutes or longer to ride. Check the wait times and return later in the day for shorter lines!

Our traffic signals:

Green Light:

This is an attraction that you must do regardless of the wait. Or it’s an attraction that we deem suitable to experience anytime.

We recommend stopping to check the posted wait times and making a quick judgment call on whether or not to wait.

Final Thoughts

Overall, the Jungle Cruise is an endearing attraction that offers plenty of nostalgia. While the jokes are pretty bad, that’s part of the fun.

History and Design

The idea for the Jungle Cruise originated from Walt Disney’s love of adventure and nature documentaries. After traveling to South America and Africa in the 1940s, Walt was inspired to recreate the excitement of adventure tours down exotic jungle rivers.

In the late 1940s, Walt Disney Pictures began producing the True-Life Adventures documentary film series showcasing wildlife and nature. This inspired Walt to include a jungle river boat ride as the centerpiece of a new Adventureland themed land planned for Disneyland. Originally, Walt imagined that live animals would populate the river banks. However, animal specialists advised that real animals would be unpredictable and likely asleep during park hours.

So instead, Disney Imagineers led by Harper Goff designed audio-animatronic animals and indigenous villages to showcase along the river journey. The ride vehicles were also inspired by the 1951 film “The African Queen”, with boats designed by Harper Goff. The jungle foliage and landscaping was expertly crafted by Disney legend Bill Evans to resemble a lush, tropical jungle.

Construction on the Jungle Cruise began in 1954, with the ride building housed in a large boathouse situated along the man-made jungle river. The boathouse was themed to resemble an old British outpost and queue for the Jungle Navigation Company’s river tours. Bill Evans carefully selected tropical plants and trees to create a lush backdrop around the river, while animatronic animals were incorporated into various scenes.

Some early technical problems with animal figures led Walt Disney to bring on board legendary Disney animator Marc Davis in the early 1960s to enhance some scenes, including the addition of the elephant bathing pool and rhino chase up a tree. These helped inject more humor and whimsy into the ride experience. The skipper narration also gradually transformed over the years from a straight documentary style to a more humorous, pun-filled spiel.

Since opening at Magic Kingdom in 1971, the Jungle Cruise has seen a few refurbishments to upgrade show scenes as well as a seasonal holiday overlay called Jingle Cruise. In January 2021, Disney announced upcoming changes to remove negative depictions and instead highlight the skipper role as ambassadors of the Jungle Navigation Company. New scenes and characters were added in summer 2021 focused on a more positive portrayal of indigenous people. The new scenes expanded on the backstory of Alberta Falls, granddaughter of the company founder, as she takes the helm to lead adventures through the world’s exotic rivers.

The Ride Experience

The total experience of Jungle Cruise encompasses the queue, boarding, actual boat ride, and disembarking.

The Jungle Cruise queue is completely outdoors but has cover overhead from the sun in most parts. The line winds extensively through the boathouse so guests can take in the various artifacts, photos, gear, and journals depicting past Jungle Navigation Company expeditions. Nearer to the loading dock, guests can observe boats pulling in and skippers delivering their spiels. Music from the 1930s plays overhead throughout the queue, setting the adventure mood. The queue length varies greatly based on crowd levels. At peak capacity, it can take over an hour just to navigate through the queue from entrance to loading.

At the loading dock, guests board the 12-person Jungle Cruise boats after an announcement from the skipper. There is a small gap in between the dock and the boat to step over and down into the boat. Cast members are stationed to assist any guests needing extra help. The boats have bench seats running lengthwise along each side. Parties sit together, though specific seats cannot be guaranteed. Safety spiels remind guests to remain seated during the ride with arms and hands inside. No food, drinks, selfie sticks or flash photography are allowed since they can be distracting to the skipper and other guests.

As the boat departs the dock, the skipper introduces themself and begins their memorized, yet often ad-libbed, script full of cheesy puns. The boat passes through the man-made rivers of Asia, Africa and South America encountering animatronic animals and scenic views along the way. The silly gags continue with the skipper pointing out sights like the backside of water or Trader Sam the head salesman. Guests sail past a herd of elephants at a watering hole, hungry hippos, lions snacking on a zebra, angry rhinos, and snakes, gorillas, butterflies and more. The 10-minute journey culminates floating through a ruined Cambodian temple with tigers, cobras, and chanting ancient voices overheard in the darkness before returning to civilization at the dock.

Once the boat pulls back into the loading dock, the skipper instructs guests when it’s safe to gather any belongings and carefully disembark the vessel. This concludes the total experience, spanning anywhere from 12-15 minutes on average.

Here are some helpful tips for making the most of your Jungle Cruise experience:

• Arrive early. Ride first thing in the morning or late evening for lowest waits. Utilize early entry if eligible.
• Bring mini fans/misters for the queue or umbrellas for shade. Hydrate before and during waits.
• Engage with the queue theming. Read posted journals and notices throughout the line.
• Listen to the safety spiel before riding and supervise children to avoid any incidents.
• Position small children where they can best see the animals but won’t be scared.
• Go along with the skipper’s script and laugh at the corny jokes. Playing along enhances the experience.
• For the best view, sit on the right side on the way out and the left side on the return trip.
• Ride multiple times and enjoy different bits of commentary each trip.
• Visit at night for a different vibe and to see flickering firelight reflecting off the water.

Brand New Details for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Disney World

The Jingle Cruise overlay first debuted at Disneyland and Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom in 2013 for the holiday season. It has returned seasonally since then, except for 2017 when Disneyland did not run it. The ride experience remains largely the same, but with the addition of Christmas decorations throughout the queue and on the boats. This includes garlands, wreaths, holiday lights, presents, trees, etc.

The skipper script is updated to include new holiday-themed jokes and puns. For example, pointing out a “gift-wrapped” crocodile or a “fruitcake disaster.” Some animatronic animals are given festive accessories like Santa hats or reindeer antlers. The trapped safari scene at the pole becomes a nod to the North Pole. Holiday music is added to the ride’s soundtrack, including Christmas carols and instrumental Disney songs.

The backstory is that the homesick skippers have decorated the ride to get into the holiday spirit and spread some seasonal cheer. While the overlay has expanded and improved over the years, the 2018 version at Walt Disney World is considered the most detailed and immersive one yet. The Jingle Cruise brings a delightfully festive seasonal twist to a classic Disney ride that many guests look forward to each holiday season. It runs from early November through early January.

The Jungle Cruise appears at several Disney Parks worldwide with varying differences.

Disneyland:  The original Disneyland version features a similar layout but with more show scenes crammed into their compact Adventureland. The indoor portion features a unique tiger attack and dynamite explosion not found in Florida. Their holiday overlay is also more extensive. However, Walt Disney World’s ride feels more immersive with the expanded jungle landscapes between scenes.

Tokyo Disneyland:  Tokyo’s version has a unique queue and station set inside an elaborate boathouse. Their ride includes an eruptive volcano scene and elaborate ancient temple absent from the Magic Kingdom attraction.

Hong Kong Disneyland:  Hong Kong’s Jungle River Cruise queue and boathouse are more basic in design. Their ride is performed in three languages and features a unique giant spider scene. However, the narration delivers information more straight, lacking the humorous skipper jokes.

Theme and Ambiance

• Highly themed to the Jungle Cruise ride with lots of references and puns throughout
• Three themed dining rooms: Crew’s Mess Hall, Falls Family Parlor, Secret Meeting Room of S.E.A. (Society of Explorers and Adventurers)
• Decor includes artifacts, souvenirs, gear, carved animals, tribal masks, adventure maps, etc.
• Music from the 1930s plays throughout

Menu and Food

• Serves “World Famous Jungle Cuisine” with dishes inspired by Asian, African, and South American flavors
• Unique and adventurous menu compared to standard Disney fare
• Appetizers, entrees, desserts, kids’ meals, specialty non-alcoholic drinks and alcoholic drinks
• Popular dishes: Char Siu Pork, Tastes Like Chicken, Falls Family Falafel, Skip’s Macaroni & Cheese (kids)
• Skippers serve as hosts, servers and runners, delivering lots of corny jokes and puns
• More laidback service compared to fine dining
• Regular tables and chairs plus booths
• Can request specific rooms but seats not guaranteed

In conclusion, the Jungle Cruise at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom takes guests on a pleasantly entertaining boat tour through pun-filled jungles showcasing audio-animatronic animals and scenic views. As one of the few opening day Disneyland attractions ported to Florida, the ride retains nostalgic vintage charm with recent refurbishments helping to keep it relevant for modern audiences.

The richly themed queue sets the adventure mood before embarking on a 10-minute journey encountering silly gags and wildlife along four exotic rivers. While ride experiences vary trip-to-trip thanks to live skipper spiels, the corny jokes and family-friendly thrills ensure the Jungle Cruise remains a classic theme park favorite at the Magic Kingdom.

Key Information

Guests travel the rivers of the world as they embark on a Jungle Cruise past animatronic animals, lost explorers, and through a collapsing ancient temple. The hilariously live-narrated tour is a Disney classic. Jungle Cruise underwent a major refit in Summer 2021. During May several scenes from the Jungle Cruise were removed while Disney was preparing for the reimagining of this attraction. The ride now has a new story and creative concept which allows guests to follow a Jungle Cruise skipper and their passengers as a journey goes awry. Guests float by a skipper who’s been chased up the pole by the rhino along with the other explorers as well as an all-new scene where a sunken boat splits apart and chimps board the wreckage, with monkey business ensuing. There is another sunken Jungle Cruise boat in the Hippo pool, and a "Trader Sam's" gift shop set near the end of the ride.

JUNGLE CRUISE Disney's Jungle cruise is an outdoor, narrated boat ride which journeys though the waterways of four different continents. Along the way you'll encounter animatronic elephants, lions, alligators and many more wild and exotic creatures. You'll also find crazy explorers, ancient ruins and some none-to-friendly natives! To entertain you on your tour throughout the jungle, your skipper will regale you with humorous tales of danger and some witty one-liners. About this Attraction Location: Adventureland Type: Boat ride Duration: About 8 minutes Fastpass: Yes Child Swap available Pal Mickey Interaction Best time to visit: Early morning or in the evening Tips & Fun Facts Queue times can vary depending on season but its recommended that you make use of the FASTpass option here. It can become busy once the park starts to fill up in the morning, seeing as its the first attraction you come across when doing the park clockwise. This attraction is more appropriate for youngsters during daylight hours. Each of the scenes in the Jungle Cruise attraction is taken from the True-Life Adventure Film Series that Walt Disney produced in the early 1960's. Guides of the Jungle Cruise fire off almost 631,000 rounds of ammunition per year. But don't worry, they're only blanks! The Jungle Cruise occupies almost one third of Adventureland. A cluster of barnacles on the entrance sign (below the word 'exotic') form a hidden Mickey. Within the Cambodian temple ruins, there is a spider to the left of the treasure with a familiar yellow marking on its back. Also in the temple, 3 gold plates on the stairs form a Mickey. Look closely at the side of the plane. Where the elephants are taking baths, there is a Mickey in the background, etched in the stone.

10+ Best Rides at Magic Kingdom for Adults

W ant to know more about the best rides at Magic Kingdom for adults? Though we love bringing the family along, a Disney trip is every bit as much fun when it’s adults only! Don’t tell the kids, but these are some for our favorite attractions to ride when we leave them with Grandma and Grandpa!

If you’ve never taken an adults only trip to Disney, you’ve been missing out. While there’s no doubt that Walt Disney World is a magical place for children, it’s just as much fun for the grownups.

I love all the Disney parks but the Magic Kingdom just happens to be the perfect place for a romantic getaway with that someone special! I mean, it’s all about the fairy tale, right?

It’s also a really great destination for a girl’s trip!

Not only is it a completely different experience when you leave the kids behind, it’s a whole lot easier too. You don’t have to think about the height requirements for rides , pushing strollers though busy crowds or mid-day meltdowns.

The only difference is that you may not want to ride all the of the same rides. For example, I probably won’t be riding Dumbo if I don’t have anyone with me who’s under the age of 10. I’m just sayin’

However, one of the best things about Magic Kingdom is that there ARE so many awesome rides for adults. There’s something for everyone, whether you’re a roller coaster fanatic or prefer more relaxing rides where you can just sit back and enjoy the experience.

The Best Rides At Magic Kingdom For Adults

Space mountain.

Location: Tomorrowland

Space Mountain is the perfect Disney coaster for those who love thrill rides. With an outer space theme, this classic ride has been a favorite since 1975, and with good reason.

Housed in a giant dome and complete with space-themed music, this ride through outer space is full of exciting twists, turns, and sudden drops from start to finish. To add to the excitement, all of this happens in the dark, so you never know exactly what’s coming next!

Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Roller Coaster

Location: Fantasyland

The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is perfect for those who aren’t hard-core thrill seekers but still want a fun roller coaster experience. This family-friendly roller coaster is based on the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs movie, featuring all your favorite characters, songs, and scenes from the movie.

Even the line is entertaining, with fun interactive experiences as you wait. Create fun patterns with gemstones (or see who can come up with the seven dwarfs names the fastest!).

The cars on this indoor-outdoor roller coaster simulates the experience of being in a mine cart, complete with tipping and swaying from side to side as it races along the track.

This is one of the top rides in the park so you can expect a pretty long wait. I recommend getting to the park early and hitting this one first thing.

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad

Location: Frontierland

An abandoned mine shaft is the setting for the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad . It’s easy to see why this classic roller coaster has been Magic Kingdom favorite for more than 40 years.

Like the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, this coaster runs both indoors and outdoors. You’ll take a wild and twisty ride through a Wild West ghost town as you explore a cursed mine shaft and zoom through the surrounding canyons.

It’s also another great place for a photo opp. If you have the Disney PhotoPass, look for a Disney photographer near the exit.

Splash Mountain

When you need cool off from the Florida heat, you’ll want to head to Splash Mountain . This fun log flume ride takes riders through a southern bayou with a host of animal characters including Br’er Bear and Br’er Fox…for now.

However, Disney has announced that they’ll soon be re-theming this attraction with an all new Princess And The Frog theme. This is pretty exciting if you love the Disney princesses as much as we do!

This water ride starts out calm and serene, slowly building to a thrilling steep drop near the end. Be warned that you will probably get wet on this ride no matter where you sit. However, if you choose a seat in the back, your chances of getting completely soaked are slightly less. I’m not making any promises though, so it never hurts to bring along a disposable poncho !

Haunted Mansion

Location: Liberty Square

No theme park would be complete with a spooky haunted house. Disney’s Haunted Mansion is one of the best – and most famous – in the world. Located in Liberty Square, a Ghost Host guides you through this creepy haunted estate complete with a seance room, a ghostly graveyard, and other scary surprises.

Those who are brave enough to enter will travel through this dark ride in special cars known as ‘Doom Buggies,’. Be warned though…phantom hitchhikers have been known to tag along on the tour.

Pirates of the Caribbean

Location: Adventureland

Pirates of the Caribbean is undoubtedly one of the most popular rides in the Magic Kingdom. The lines can be a little long but we think this ride is worth the wait.

Riders enter a Spanish fort to board their boats, then set sail for a 17th century Caribbean adventure. There are plenty of pirate adventures along the way and if you keep your eyes peeled, you may even see Captain Jack Sparrow himself!

We never visit Disney without hitting up this attraction! It’s definitely one of our favorites, with or without the kids.

Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin

If you have a competitive streak, you’ll love Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin . This attraction, part ride and part video game, is based on the popular Toy Story character.

This ride takes you on a cool space voyage, where you’ll board a star cruiser to help Buzz save the universe. Riders use joysticks to spin their cruiser 360 degrees, taking aim at an enemy robot army.

The fun of this ride is competing against each other to get the high score. I have yet to win against my hubby but I’m determined to take him down one of these days!

It’s A Small World

A classic Disney Ride and definitely one of the most famous, It’s a Small World is a must for Magic Kingdom visitors.

This musical boat tour takes you through all seven continents, with adorable dolls representing children from around the world. Just be warned, the ride’s iconic signature song will be stuck in your head long after the ride is over.

It’s a Small World is an experience that both young children and adults can enjoy. It’s always a fun one for me, whether I’m with the kids or not.

Jungle Cruise

Climb on board Disney’s Jungle Cruise attraction for low key riverboat tour through the lush forests and waterfalls of the Amazon and the African Congo.

What makes this ride so much fun is the Disney cast member that serves as your skipper and tour guide. As they point out sights along the way, their commentary is peppered with some of the corniest jokes you’ve ever heard.

But the jokes are so bad, they’re good, and I dare you not to crack a smile. It’s seriously the best part of the ride!

While the silliness is my favorite part, you’ll also spot all kinds of animatronic jungle animals on the tour. Look for hippos, monkeys, elephants and more!

Tomorrowland PeopleMover

The Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover is an elevated tram ride that gives visitors a relaxing ten-minute tour of Tomorrowland. This narrated tour takes riders behind the scenes of several popular rides, including Space Mountain and Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin.

Whether you’re a first time Magic Kingdom visitor or a regular, you should give the Tomorrowland People Mover a try if you’ve never experienced it. It’s a great way to rest your feet and chill while getting a unique view of some of the park’s attractions from a different perspective.

TRON Lightcycle Run (Coming Soon)

Currently under construction, this exciting roller coaster is based on the popular sci-fi films. Riders hop aboard individual lightcycles (similar to motorcycles) and reach speeds of close to 60 miles per hour.

I was lucky enough to get a sneak peak of the lightcycles at a Disney event awhile back. I have a feeling that riding one of these along a roller coaster track is going to be pretty dang cool!

It’ll be the fastest of any Disney coaster and I for one can’t wait to ride it! No word yet on when it’ll be ready but rumor has it they’re doing test runs now. I’ll be sure to keep you updated!

Tips And Tricks

While these rides are perfect for adults, they are also some of the most popular in the park. They usually have long lines but if you download the Disney app, you can check wait times to determine the best time to ride. I haven’t tried the Disney Genie+ yet but that’s another option.

Where To Stay

Wondering where to stay? We love staying on property and if you’re looking for ideas, check out my reviews of Disney’s Riviera Resort and the Contemporary Resort .

My favorite Disney property of all time is Animal Kingdom Lodge , though we were so on-the-go for that trip that I never had time to take pictures for a post. It’s not cheap but it’s definitely worth the splurge if you can swing it!

Walt Disney World truly is a magical place for visitors of all ages and these rides are a great way to experience the magic for yourself. So next time, drop the kids off with the grandparents and have your own grown up Disney adventure instead.

Do you agree with the Disney rides on this list? What are some of your own favorites?

Fireworks at Magic Kingdom To Cease Normal Operations After Pointed Development

in Walt Disney World

The normality of fireworks inside Magic Kingdom Park at Walt Disney World Resort is about to change significantly.

The Happily Ever After fireworks show at Magic Kingdom, part of Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, is a dazzling spectacle that encapsulates the enchanting world of Disney storytelling. As the sky above Cinderella Castle ignites with vibrant colors and lights, guests are treated to a montage of animated projections, laser effects, and breathtaking pyrotechnics, all synchronized to a medley of iconic Disney songs.

The show, which debuted in 2017, is particularly beloved for its emotional resonance and its ability to connect guests to the heartwarming tales of Disney characters overcoming obstacles and achieving their dreams.

However, what we’ve come to know as “normal” for the beloved fireworks show is about to cease in a notable way as Walt Disney World Resort has announced a new development.

Beginning today and through the foreseeable future, Happily Ever After will no longer operate in its normal-tiered time. The beloved nighttime fireworks show will now begin at 9:20 p.m. each night. Though most of the time throughout the year, Happily Ever After takes place between 8:00 p.m. and no later than 9:00 p.m. at Magic Kingdom, during the summer, this has to change.

The projections on Cinderella Castle are not easily seen in daylight, and this leaves Disney with no choice but to operate outside of its normal time, particularly in June, July, and August. The show may continue to see its performance time pushed back to ensure that daylight has passed.

Though Happily Ever After will not be operating in its normal time window , the show remains unchanged. Each evening, as the first notes of the show’s theme song swell, an air of excitement and anticipation envelops the crowd.

Narrated sequences invite the audience on a journey through a series of magical moments from Disney classics like The Lion King (1994), Moana (2016), and Frozen (2013). The centerpiece of the experience is Cinderella Castle, which transforms through state-of-the-art projection technology into scenes from these beloved films.

For the rest of May and June, the show will remain at 9:20 p.m. each night. Disney has not updated its calendar past July 11, which also shows the performance at 9:20 p.m. Keep in mind that Disney will not operate Happily Ever After on July 4 , as its annual Fourth of July fireworks spectacular takes place that night.

In addition to Happily Ever After, you can enjoy several other notable nighttime spectaculars across Walt Disney World Resort. Luminous The Symphony of Us takes place nightly at EPCOT , and both Fantasmic! and Wonderful World of Animation take place at Disney’s Hollywood Studios . Though there was a time when Disney’s Animal Kingdom operated projections on the Tree of Life, the Disney park has been closing before sunset since reopening during the pandemic.

There are numerous other attractions to experience at Magic Kingdom, specifically. Space Mountain, located in Tomorrowland, offers an exhilarating indoor roller coaster ride through the dark reaches of outer space. Meanwhile, Frontierland boasts Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, a high-speed train adventure through a haunted gold-mining town that provides excitement and spectacular views. Over in Fantasyland, Peter Pan’s Flight offers a magical journey from London to Neverland, charming visitors with its gentle flight and captivating scenes.

Each land within Magic Kingdom is designed to immerse Disney World guests in meticulously crafted themes. Adventureland captivates with its exotic ambiance, highlighted by rides like Jungle Cruise and Pirates of the Caribbean, which take visitors on adventures through lush jungles and past swashbuckling pirates, respectively.

NEW: Tiana’s Bayou Adventure officially opens in Magic Kingdom Park at Walt Disney World Resort on June 28. pic.twitter.com/PQIWuBUnJ3 — Scott Gustin (@ScottGustin) May 12, 2024

Notably, a significant transformation is underway in Frontierland, where Splash Mountain is being reimagined into Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, set to open on June 28, 2024. This new attraction will transport guests into the world of Princess Tiana from The Princess and the Frog (2009), promising a vibrant celebration of the culture and music of Louisiana.

Magic Kingdom Had a ROUGH Morning Yesterday

Disney World may be The Most Magical Place on Earth, but that doesn’t mean that things are perfect all the time in the parks.

Sometimes things just happen that can derail your plans like crowds , weather , and ride closures . Some days can be particularly bad, and, well, Magic Kingdom has been struggling with ride closures.​

Yesterday, on May 14th, a whopping eight rides were closed in Magic Kingdom at park opening : Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Magic Carpets of Aladdin, Peter Pan’s Flight, Pirates of the Caribbean, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Space Mountain, Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover, and Enchanted Tales with Belle.

Four of those rides then stayed closed for another hour. That means if you’d had hopes of rope dropping some rides, your choices were a lot more limited than normal.

Now, this doesn’t always happen, but there’s not a lot you can do when there are multiple ride closures like this. The first thing is pretty obvious: you’ll just have to focus on other rides or experiences. We also recommend keeping an eye on the My Disney Experience app so you can see when closed rides reopen (and the good news is they usually do). If you can catch a ride shortly after it reopens, you may end up being able to nab a spot in a shorter standby line for that ride.

Let’s take a full look at yesterday’s ride wait times and closures in Disney World.

8 Endangered Species to See at Disney’s Animal Kingdom 

by Thomas Smith , Editorial Content Director, Disney Experiences

Of the more than  300 different species  at  Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park,  there are eight now listed on the endangered species list. And today, we’re taking a special look at each of these beautiful and fascinating animals and sharing some unique ways you can help protect them in the future. 

1. Painted Dog  

At Disney’s Animal Kingdom, we have six painted dogs on the African savannas. Right now, you can spot “The Brothers” (Oswald and Hugo) on Kilimanjaro Safaris and even on “Magic of Disney’s Animal Kingdom” streaming on Disney+. 

Painted dogs are known for being hierarchical and our pack is no different, as Oswald leads the group. Meanwhile his brother Hugo, who is the most submissive of the group, is known for being a lover. 

If you’d like to help protect the painted dogs population, you’re encouraged to visit local and national parks, AZA accredited zoos and aquariums and adopt an animal supported by a non-profit organization.

2. African Elephant   

For many of you, a favorite part of visiting Kilimanjaro Safaris is seeing the endangered African elephants . If you’ve been to Disney’s Animal Kingdom recently, you may have even gotten a special peek at five-month old Corra and mom Nadirah!

Both Nadirah and Corra were born at Animal Kingdom, making Corra the first second-generation elephant in the Park’s history. Corra has a lot of familiar faces in her herd, as she is joined by her aunts and grandma Donna on the savanna. The adorable five-month-old loves exploring, splashing and discovering new ways to use her trunk.

You can help protect elephants by buying eco-friendly, wildlife-friendly and by joining a conservation group.

3. Western Lowland Gorilla  

At  Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail , you can see two dynamic troops of endangered western lowland gorillas . An Animal Kingdom resident since opening day, 40-year-old Gino leads the troop.

He is joined by nine-year-old half-brothers Corey and Flint. While they may be related and only three weeks apart, these two have unique personalities. Corey is a ball of energy, who loves making rain angels and practicing his sliding skills. And Flint is on the quieter side and loves to snack on green beans.

Gorillas rely heavily on forests for survival. Trees are often cut down to mine for minerals to make electronics. So by recycling electronics, you can help reduce the number of trees that get cut down and preserve the gorillas’ habitats.

4. Komodo Dragon   

When you turn the first corner on  Maharajah Jungle Trek  at Animal Kingdom, you may catch the endangered Komodo dragon, Sheldon. The park’s keeper team is constantly giving Sheldon new enrichment and training challenges, since he figures them out so quickly.

Often misunderstood, Komodo dragons help the ecosystem by keeping their preys’ populations in check. So, make sure to share that with your friends to help out these large reptiles.

5. Okapi   

If you’ve strolled down Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail or taken in the views of Pembe Savanna at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge , you may have seen a rare cousin of the giraffe, the okapi .  Here, you can spot some shy and elusive explorers, like Olivia, or Elijah and his mom Zelda. 

Olivia is a 10-year-old okapi born at Animal Kingdom Lodge. While sweet potatoes are one of her favorite things to eat, she is known for her sweet personality.

To help support the endangered okapi population, you can support a wildlife conservation organization and shop sustainable products that use recycled paper.

6. Giant Galapagos Tortoise  

And the next time you walk around the iconic Tree of Life at the park, you may want to check out the “monsters” of Discovery Island . Dracula, Mummy, Frankenstein and Creature make up our group of hauntingly slow giant Galapagos tortoise s. 

While they are all only 12 years old, making them too young to have their genders identified, they all have distinct personality traits. Dracula might prefer neck scratches and Creature loves food more than anything else. Frankenstein can be seen wiggling its bottom to make sure keepers get the right scratching spot and Mummy has the most attitude despite being the smallest.

You can help out tortoises by planting native plants in your garden. Native plants help keep out invasive plants, which are detrimental to animals like tortoises.

7. Sumatran Tiger   

The most powerful predator in the jungle, the endangered  Sumatran tiger , roams the Maharajah Jungle Trek at Animal Kingdom. 

Sohni the Sumatran tiger is a strong-willed, independent female. She loves to play by dragging around big barrels. And Conrad, a male, loves his enrichment activities in the pool and never misses his mid-day cat naps.

Like other species featured here, tigers live in the forest so you can help by making sure to recycle and print double-sides to help protect their habitats.

8. Vietnam Pheasant   

On Maharajah Jungle Trek at Animal Kingdom, you can find a group of stylish Vietnam pheasants. These colorful endangered birds have bright red skin around their eyes that pop like the sunset.

This beautiful species can help keep small animal populations in check, so limit or reduce the use of pesticides to protect plants and animals like these ones.

Keep checking the Disney Parks Blog for more stories like this and updates on how our dedicated veterinarians, animal keepers and teams continue to deliver the best care to the animals in today’s story and to the 5,000 others across the resort.

Jungle Cruise

An Attraction in Magic Kingdom

Last updated: May 18, 2024

At a Glance

Jungle Cruise is an outdoor group boat ride through some of the world’s best-known simulated tropical waterways. You’ll pass through forest and jungle populated entirely by animatronic animals.

Jungle Cruise was the park’s signature ride when it opened at Disneyland. With the advent of modern, highly themed, real zoo environments such as Animal Kingdom, the Magic Kingdom’s version would surely have faded into obscurity were it not for one thing: The skippers tell jokes. OK, jokes is a stretch—the skippers do the cheesiest, most groan-inducing stand-up you’ve ever heard. If you dig that sort of thing, it’s glorious.

The best Jungle Cruise experience we’ve ever had began with all the passengers agreeing beforehand to laugh enthusiastically at whatever jokes we heard. It took about two puns for the skipper to catch on and play along. The ride ended with us chanting the skipper’s name during thunderous applause, to which the skipper said, “Is this what unconditional love feels like? Take that, Mom and Dad!”

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.
