5 Things To Look Forward To At Walt Disney World In 2021

2. Jungle Cruise Enhancements

Fan favourite Jungle Cruise at Magic Kingdom is set to get a spruce up with new enhancements to the ride.

Don't worry, there won't be too many major changes, but the famous Jungle Cruise Skippers will become a much bigger part of the attraction. A Skipper will become a part of the ride with their own show figure as you see how one unfortunate Skipper's cruise has gone astray.

Recently vanished boats Mekong Maiden and Kwango Kate will be making a return as part of your ride through the jungle. Imagineers will also be making sure that the experience of the attraction "reflect and value the diversity of the world around us" as part of the enhancement.

Disney are clear that the humour and wit that we all love about the Jungle Cruise will remain in place with the changes. So don't lose your head, these changes won't rock the boat!
