Jingle bells, jingle bell, jungle all the way! Jingle Cruise, the limited-time holiday overlay of Jungle Cruise, has returned to Magic Kingdom.
Jingle Cruise
Jingle Cruise Cast Members now wear beige Santa hats that match their skipper uniforms. Skippers also tell holiday-related jokes during the cruise.
The Jungle Cruise sign has been decorated with themed garland.
The “u” in “Jungle” was replaced with a candy cane-striped “i.”
Holiday decorations are throughout the queue. A tree made of bamboo pieces is strung with Christmas lights.
A banner hanging behind a Christmas tree begs Santa to “please stop here!”
There are paper chains, wreaths, and Christmas crackers.
Candy cane decorations adorn pillars.
The tarantula is wearing a Santa hat and beard.
Signs have been pasted over the names of each boat to make them some kind of wintry, holiday-themed name. The Wamba Wanda is now Wassail Wanda.
A banner along the river reads “Jungle all the way!”
The hut across the water from the boarding dock is covered in décor. Christmas lights are wrapped around its poles. A glowing snowman figure is by the door. A Santa Claus decoration hangs under a lantern.
A “snow” man made out of a sack is on the edge of this dock. It holds a letter addressed to Santa.
The scenes of the ride have extra holiday touches, like these Santa hats and red bows on crates.
The trashed camp features large gift-wrapped presents. One of the gorillas is wearing a Santa hat. The other has put on a sweater vest and scarf.
More presents are around the lost safari scene.
More Christmas lights and poinsettias are at Trader Sam’s Lost gift shop.
As they’re exiting, guests are wished a “Happy Gnu Year” by a banner.
A garland made of paper and poinsettias hangs over the Jungle Navigation Company Ltd. mural.
