New Jungle Cruise will open in Disneyland in July, with work finishing in Magic Kingdom this Summer

We have great news to report today! Disney has just shared with us an update on both the Disneyland and Walt Disney World retheming of the classic attraction the Jungle Cruise.

Read on for the full details:

The Jungle Cruise will reopen on July 16th, 2021, in 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.

Over at the Magic Kingdom, you can continue to enjoy the Jungle Cruise while updates are being made, and all changes should be completed this summer.

Progress continues at both parks as Imagineers build on the original story with new adventures that stay true to the experience we know and love. Today we’re revealing a behind-the-scenes look at the work on Trader Sam’s newest venture, which recently dropped in at Disneyland.

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! Take a look at this first look above!

True to their reputations, our world-famous skippers will continue their unique presentations along the river with interactions that guests expect. In this video, Disney Imagineer Kevin Lively takes us on recent trip down the river at Magic Kingdom to share a reminder of some classic Jungle Cruise moments:
