Just the day before, this area in the attraction previously held three figures beating tribal drums in a ritual scene. The other most recent changes to the cruise include an updated attraction sign and reach as far as the Adventureland sign on the bridge to the land.

Check out the video below of Disneyland’s now complete Jungle Cruise with all the updated cultural sensitivity changes we will expect to come to the Walt Disney World attraction.

  1. Hopefully they are just being refurbished and will return. I’ve been to many cultural centers where natives in the area do tribal dances, beat on drums to music, etc. So I really hope Disney takes a step back and sees that they are just going too far in many instances.
