As construction began on the Jungle Cruise ride in Disney World, there was a push to make it unique and to move beyond the original attraction at Disneyland. As a result, the two rides share a common theme and similar storyline, but some unique differences as well, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Queue: The queue at Disneyland encompasses 2 stories, requiring guests to climb and even stand on stairs. The queue at Disney World is flat and less elaborate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Cambodian Temple: The Jungle Cruise ride at Disney World includes an eerie journey through a darkened Cambodian temple, where dangerous tigers and snakes wait to waylay unsuspecting passengers. This feature is not included in the Jungle Cruise ride at Disneyland.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Schweitzer Falls: With more land available for building, Schweitzer Falls at Disney World is larger and appears with more grandeur that the same feature at Disneyland.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn Play a Role in the Jungle Cruise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Jungle Cruise ride took its inspiration from a variety of sources. While we&#8217;ve already mentioned the documentary animal series that provided the original overall theme, the boats in the Jungle Cruise took a design nod from another film<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 1951 movie, The African Queen, starred Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn, and the boat sailed by these 2 stars bears a notable resemblance to the crafts piloted by Magic Kingdom skippers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Water Color of Disney World\u2019s Jungle Cruise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you ever ridden rides at Walt Disney World and noticed the color of the water? Disney often adds dye to the water rides to fit the theming as well as cover the ride tracks below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Jungle Cruise, the water is dyed, and the color has changed over the years. Originally it was more green, then brown, and today it is a greenish\/ brown color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Under the Water on the Jungle Cruise?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the water of the Jungle Cruise ride are not alligators, hippos, or even fish. Instead, the dark water hides the track for the boats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The skippers do drive the boats forwards and backwards, but they do not actually steer them. If you watch carefully, you can see some Skippers over or understeer. We even had one Skipper who repeatedly spun the wheel like he was on the Wheel of Fortune.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container

Instead, the animatronic animals were used as a cost-friendly alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Later on, the idea of exotic animals on display for guests became the Animal Kingdom park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, real plants are used at both parks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, Walt wanted authentic plants inside of the Jungle Cruise. These plants were very costly and many did not grow well in the climate the park was in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, the Imagineers created a \u201cHollywood Jungle\u201d using native and authentic plants that mimicked the real thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-fa7560d2\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-contrast-2-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5be2c49600a61c586c9eb439236eb735\" style=\"font-size:30px\">Let Us Help You Plan Your Theme Park Vacation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"736\" src=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Disneyland-quote-image.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18421\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Disneyland-quote-image.jpg 900w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Disneyland-quote-image-300x245.jpg 300w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Disneyland-quote-image-768x628.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a Connecticut-based travel agent with <a href=\"https:\/\/mickeyworldtravel.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mickey World Travel<\/a>, Kathleen Hesketh can help you plan and book your theme park vacation no matter where you live within the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plan your vacation your way and receive as much or as little help as you want. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Booking dining reservations, saving you the 6:00 am wake up call<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Custom itinerary suggestions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Convenient payment plans<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Help with Lightning Lane or Express Pass<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>and more<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Fill out the form to the right (below on mobile) for a no-obligation quote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a class=\"gb-button gb-button-b8e2ef70 gb-button-text\" href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/disney-world-quote-request\/\">Request a Quote<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Be a Guest Skipper on the Jungle Cruise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Caste members working at the Disney World Jungle Cruise can give guests the opportunity to become a Guest Skipper.

The Great Movie Ride was a slow moving ride which took guests through scenes from classic movies, and even had some guest and cast member interaction in those scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ride was recently replaced by Mickey and Minnie\u2019s Runaway Railway, but during its run, the Great Movie Ride had a scene from Casablanca, featuring an airplane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The airplane is a Lockheed Model 12 Electra Junior plane, and the front half was used for the Casablanca scene. Airplanes are expensive, so to get more bang for their buck, Disney placed the back half of the plane in the Disney World Jungle Cruise ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Disney World Jungle Cruise Ride Wasn&#8217;t Always &#8220;Punny&#8221;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While well know for the Dad-joke style puns, Jungle Cruise skippers weren&#8217;t always imbued with a sense of humor. In fact, Walt&#8217;s original vision for this ride saw it as en educational experience, where guests learned about the animals they were seeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, Walt&#8217;s version was not a big hit with guests, so ten years later, the script was changed and the Jungle Cruise puns were born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pirates are Nearby<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During parts of the Jungle Cruise ride, the show building for Pirates of the Caribbean can be scene through the foliage if you look closely.
