First time riding and I feel like it was overhyped. The skipper was funny and I enjoyed the ride but I would never wait in an hour line for it. Thankfully we got there early and had about a 30 minute wait.

Pros:

Skipper funny, love boat rides, cool animatronics.

Cons:

If the wait is long then it’s not worth it!

The Jungle Cruise is one of the classic Disney attractions inspired by Walt himself! With no height requirement, it's a ride that the whole family can ride together. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, attractions with humor seem to take the experience to a whole new level! Certainly, most of the jokes that the skippers tell are worn-out and corny, but keep riding it, and you'll hear some new ones sprinkled in from time to time. For this reason, re-rideability is high since a different skipper will give you a different experience each time!

Pros:

Classic attraction worked on by Walt himself, no height requirement

Cons:

Line can get longer than the ride is worth waiting for, closes during inclement weather (ride it early!), boat seating is not the most comfortable

67 minute wait for a slow boring ride in a boat. I loved the movie and I love Magic Kingdom but this was a major letdown. Never again.

Pros:

A few of the puns were funny.

Cons:

Wait time, slow ride, needs more rapids... and, the Rock!

Plenty of Shade on this attraction, from the trees and the Skippers. This punny adventure trek through the Jungle is a must do for Disney fans. The skippers are a huge part of the attraction, with all the Dad jokes, and sight gags along the river bank. I am looking forward to some of the updates.

Pros:

Fun for the whole Family, you get to take a load off your feet for the length of the journey

Cons:

Lines can get long. If you get a bad skipper your experience takes a hit.

We've all heard the Jungle Cruise line \"If you've enjoyed yourself, my name is _____ and this has been the world famous Jungle Cruise. If you didn't, then my name is John and this has been the Enchanted Tiki Room\". With that said and with all the new improvements plus the the new movie on top of the pressure, you'd think that every Skipper would be on top pf their game. Alas, not every skipper received the AWOL memo. This past week we embarked on a trip and braved the ONLY 45 minute wait time in the park. Yes, at one time Trader Sam had one up'd the Seven Dwarfs. Anyway, our skipper actually had the attitude of the last joke of the cruise. Think about it. Not happy to be there. Had no inflection in her voice. Did not wait for the comedic beat of the joke and actually was 70 seconds faster than the routine allows. We pay lots of money to come to Walt Disney World and to see the shows. Even the ones on the Jungle Cruise. So if the skipper is not willing to perform then there is no real reason for them to be there. The boat will find it's way back eventually and it will become another ride to take the weight off your feet. I understand the heat of an August afternoon, it's not fun for everyone but think of the person who wants THAT skipper job. They await longingly to hold the mic and say the magic words, \"Wave to the people on the dock, you may never see them again\". Come on Skippers, if you can't be funny - then use Fozzie Bear. He could use a trapped audience.

Pros:

Great new animatronics and scenery. AWOL RADIO!

Cons:

Que lines are too close together.

Who wouldn't want to miss an opportunity to see the backside of water! Just a fun and relaxing boat ride. Appropriate for all ages. The skippers are the one's who make this ride, although they can be hit or miss.

Pros:

Disney classic

Cons:

Dependent upon the skipper

I love the corny jokes and getting to ride a classic Disney ride. Is it thrilling? No. Are the animatronics old? Yep. Is it fun? Absolutely.

Pros:

Classic and iconic Disney ride, the Skippers are the best

Cons:

Super long lines (during COVID)

Really fun and silly side. I’m glad they are making updates because some scenes were definitely insensitive and I’m excited for what’s to come. The jokes from the skippers are so corny they are great, even if you’ve been on the ride a bunch of times.

Pros:

Funny skippers Calm boat ride Plus size friendly!

Cons:

The temple scene may be scary for little ones
