Frog Overview
While experiencing Jungle Cruise® Attraction in Adventureland® Area, you'll set sail on a 1930s tramp-steamer tour in the untamed waters of the Mekong, the Amazon and the rivers of Africa. You’ll be guided through the rivers by a skipper who cracks jokes along the way.
Cruising past Audio-Animatronics animals, the Amazon River will be your first destination. Inspiration Falls will be on your left, spraying refreshing mist, and then you’ll venture into the Congo River next. Coiling around on a branch in the river, watch out for the king cobra!
The Nile River, going on for “miles and miles, “ houses large elephants that you’ll glide right past. More animal Animatronics include giraffes, rhinos, zebras and more. Danger lurks around the corner with crocodiles and gigantic hippos. You’ll return to civilization at the end with your skipper giving you some safety instructions with of course, more jokes!
Jungle Cruise® Attraction is like a Disney cartoon; it applies to kids and adults alike. Tad and Lily get a kick out of the scenery. Leap and Mommy Frog crack up over the skipper’s hilariously dry jokes. It’s a Frog Family favorite!
Jungle Cruise® Attraction is an outdoor safari-themed boat-ride attraction in Adventureland® Area at Magic Kingdom® Park. The duration of the attraction is about 9 minutes. The boats are free seating and have no restraints.

Frog Family Tips and Fun Facts about Jungle Cruise® Attraction
Frog Family Tips
- Try to experience Jungle Cruise® Attraction before lunch or later in the evening.
- Going at night is a completely different (and great) experience, but it might startle young children! November through January a holiday-overlay takes over the attraction and makes for a different experience, as well.
Fun Facts
- The first version of Jungle Cruise® Attraction was very serious, based on Walt Disney's True Life Adventure Series. It wasn't until a few years later that the humorous vignettes were added.
- Walt Disney originally intended the Jungle Cruise® Attraction to be roaming with live animals. It wasn't until he realized that he couldn't control the animals' sleeping habits that he realized he could tell a better story using Audio-Animatronics®. Don't worry-- the hippos aren't dangerous unless they wiggle their ears!
