We’re keeping a close eye on all the changes over at the Jungle Cruise!
ICYMI, the Jungle Cruise in Disney World and Disneyland are both undergoing a BIG reimagining this year. Disney’s adding a new storyline and characters — but what’s super interesting is the Disney World ride is not closing during the refurbishment. So of course, we’ve been riding it plenty to keep you up to date on everything that’s changing! We already noticed that the classic Trader Sam animatronic was removed from the ride…and now we’ve got some more news for ya.
While we were waiting in line to ride, we noticed a few changes to the queue! You may remember that part of the line outside featured a cabinet with some artifacts…
…including a Hidden Mickey sculpture!
But today, the whole area looked a little different. The cabinet was removed, and the wall was painted GREEN!
Who woulda thought?! Now, we could see that cabinet return — there’s a chance it was removed just for the exterior painting. Or, it could be replaced by something else altogether! But for now, that shelf with the Hidden Mickey is gone.
We’ll keep our eyes out and keep ya posted with more Jungle Cruise changes! As always, stay tuned to DFB for the latest Disney news.
