Jungle Cruise Attraction Magic Kingdom
This classic attraction is one of The Magic Kingdom’s original rides that opened in 1971. Safari boats carry guests down a river through the jungles of South America, Africa and Asia. You’ll see life-size robotic animals and elaborate landscaping as you embark on your ten-minute journey.
The highlight of any Jungle Cruise voyage is the skipper’s punny commentary on the scenes along the way.
There is no height requirement for this ride.

Disney Tip
The Jungle Cruise continues to be popular after all these years and still commands a long line on busy days. To avoid the longest lines avoid visiting between 11:00 am and 4:00 pm. Lines usually get a lot shorter at night.
