Disney legend has it that this classic attraction was conceived as a tour of live animals (a concept decades later implemented throughout Disney's Animal Kingdom), but that idea was nixed 'cause handlers feared the animals wouldn't be awake during the day. So Disneyland installed this collection of audio-animatronic creatures instead.

For Disneyland's 50th anniversary, the guns are back in the skippers' hands, the animations are fixed up througout and a new piranha effect provides a wet finale. The skippers on this tour don't take themselves seriously -- it's a floating joke fest all around. So keep your ears and eyes open to fully enjoy this delightfully cheesy adventure.

Jungle Cruise is one of my favorites. It is just good fun. I love the concept and the skipper, but I thought some of the animals could have used a bit of paint and updates during my last visit. The animals would have been of great quality at another park, but when you put Jungle Cruise next to the quality you see on some of the other Disney rides, it is easy to tell that the Jungle Cruise isn't quite as fresh as some of the other attractions. 8.5/10 - Lexi R

I like this ride. It's very underrated but like everyone said it depends on the skipper - daniel reyes

A Classic Disney Ride. Has tons of animatronics and is an awesome experience! - Brendan Harrison

Depends on the skipper. Despite the updates, I like the Florida one better. And I try to say this without bias. - Skipper Adam

Completely dependent upon the skipper. DL does keep there's fresher. - Marc Ricketts
