I'm very glad to hear that you can request your Skipper beforehand because I learned that this ride lives or dies by the quality of your Skipper. We had Skipper Mel and her delivery was very Janeane Garofalo-esque and that doeesn't work for these kind of jokes. But on the plus side, I have a real soft spot for Trader Sam and the tiger cave.
Pros:
Tiger Cave Trader SamCons:
Avoid Skipper Mel at all costs!!!Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 01/11/2020

This has been here such a long time. It’s practically an original that everyone should experience at least once.
The ride repeatability generally depends on your boat guide, though. Since they are narrating your ride through the “jungle,” they can make or break this one for you. There are tons of jokes to be told during the ride, and when delivered right, make this ride super entertaining. If not, you’re just on a boat ride looking at audiomatronic animals and annoyed that you waited in a hot line so long.
My experience recently has been about 60% good skippers/40% duds.
Still ride at least once to get the experience. After that, I wouldn’t waste my time in a long line.
Pros:
Can be funny, classic rideCons:
Long, hot lines; hit or miss Skippers, could use some updatingReviewed by courtney Review Date: 06/17/2019

An original WDW attraction,it's a fun relaxing boat ride, passing audio-animatronic wildlife and various jungle scenes, with your skipper/guide cracking corny jokes and puns along the way. Although it's scripted and you'll hear most of the same jokes each time you ride, the skippers can ad-lib and some of them are pretty funny. Makes you wonder how many stand-up comics got their start here.
It takes a while to load and unload each boat, so wait times can add up quickly. And while there are amusing things to keep you entertained in the queue area, it's still a long wait. So, ride with a Fastpass, or ride first thing in the morning. Or if the standby time is short, hop on. But in my opinion, it's not worth a long wait, and if I don't ride it each time I visit, it's not really a disappointment. But if you haven't seen it, you should go at least once, provided it doesn't take up a good chunk of your time.
Pros:
Fun, original WDW attraction. Good way to get off your feet a bit. Great if you get an entertaining skipper.Cons:
Boats are slow loading and unloading. Wait times can be lengthy. So avoid the waits with a Fastpass or ride first thing in the morning.Reviewed by PolynesianStitch Review Date: 04/21/2019

Better at night, also lines are shorter then. Nice light entertainment. A Disney classic. Skippers have the ability to go off script when situation warrants it and still stay in character.
Pros:
Corny humorCons:
Long, slow linesReviewed by KimH134 Review Date: 04/21/2019
