New Jungle Cruise Characters installed last night in the Magic Kingdom

Last night Walt Disney Imagineering installed new Jungle Cruise Characters as part of the updated experience coming to the fan-favorite attraction.

Here is more information:

We just wanted to POINT out the exciting progress Imagineering teams made last night on the #JungleCruise enhancements at @WaltDisneyWorld Resort!

Starting today, Magic Kingdom Park guests aboard the attraction can meet our trapped safari of new characters, including Felix Penchman XIII, the Skipper who led this expedition up a tree!

We are excited for guests to see them for themselves at @Disneyland when the Jungle Cruise reopens on July 16!

Just last week we were given a sneak peek at one of the changes for the famous Trader Sam. It wouldn’t be Disney if a ride or attraction ended with a gift shop, pun intended.

True to his reputation as the best merchant in the jungle, Trader Sam has found a way to convert the new Lost & Found location into something more profitable for the Jungle Navigation Company Ltd. The Jungle Cruise appears to be going the route of all the best rides – ending with a gift shop!

Progress continues at both Disney World & Disneyland as Imagineers build on the original story with new adventures that stay true to the experience we know and love.

Jungle Cruise will reopen July 16th, 2021, at Disneyland, with an updated experience that welcomes new characters from around the world plus even more of the humor, wildlife and skipper heart that makes this classic attraction a favorite. At the Magic Kingdom, you can continue to enjoy the Jungle Cruise while updates are being made, and all changes will be completed this summer.
