i love this ride! but unfortunately, it's not a ride you want to go on more than once in your trip. no matter how good it is the first time (which it always is as long as you get a good skipper), the second time will just feel like a waste of time. they usually repeat the same jokes. i absolutely love jungle cruise though, and i think it's a must-do classic.

Pros:

entertaining, funny, fun visuals, nostalgic

Cons:

long wait most of the time and it can be hard to get onto in your day if you dont prioritize it

The enjoyment of this ride is very dependent on the skipper you get! We went on it twice during our trip. The first time was great our skipper was hilarious! The second time however was a bit disappointing, it was the end of the day and I guess the skipper was ending his shift and it was showing, he did not seem to be into it at all.

Pros:

classic Disney

Cons:

can be hit or miss depending on the skipper

I have always liked this ride. We got a LL for it and did not wait more than 10 minutes. Our driver was very funny and made the trip a great time. Great for the kids!

Pros:

Fun ride, boat captain made it very fun.

Cons:

Could wait a long time...get a LL for this one.

The skippers are great and it's a cute little boat ride but there isn't all that much to it. Get a lightning lane for it or go when the crowds are low - don't wait a super long time in line for this one but it's cute enough to put on your list of to-dos.

Pros:

family friendly, new experience based on skipper

Cons:

long lines aren't always worth the wait.

Good for a group with multiple age ranges in it. Our toddlers loved it and our older members loved it. I wouldn’t wait long for this ride, but we went to it at park open and only waited about 10 minutes. The skipper could barely be heard by our group at the back of the boat. When we could hear a joke, it was always a good one though!

Pros:

Family friendly Smooth ride Funny jokes Good for small children

Cons:

Not worth a long wait Cant hear the skipper Needs updates

Jungle Cruise is a national treasure y’all!

Look, I am aware that some people are skeptics. However, let me give you a three part dissertation that will lay out why this ride is great.

1. The skippers!! I am personall a HUGE fan of corny jokes and puns, so will admit that I am biased here. However, even if you are not a fan of either (you monster!), just the simple magic of the skippers themselves is great. These cast members are joyful, fun, and really define the experience. They are the microcosm of cast members throughout Disney! Yes, your experience with Jungle Cruise may vary depending on your skipper. However, they are nearly always awesome!

2. Variety/re-rideability! Because you get a different skipper each time you read Jungle Cruise, unless you are constantly in WDW or just ride this ride over and over again, you are never going to have exactly the same experience twice. That’s cool!

3. Jungle Cruise is just a relaxing boat ride with some fun theming and animatronics. You can interact with the skippers or not, you can laugh or not, but ultimately you still get the chance to ride around in a leisurely ride just the same.

I know that you are now convinced that you love this ride, so I will say no more. =)

Pros:

The skippers!!! Great fun! Variability in ride experience from one to the next A fun ride! Bonus: Classic Disney ride designed by Walt

Cons:

If it’s not your jam, it just may not be your jam Point in time dependent: In 2021/2022, Jungle Cruise has tended to have VERY long lines and run out of lightning lanes quickly. Something to consider

Fun ride with great puns. This ride depends on your skipper. It’s a classic but I wouldn’t want to wait an hour for it.

Pros:

Puns Classic Long ride/rest

Cons:

Can get long wait times
