Jungle Cruise Tips

  • Scary Factor: Not scary. Features playful animatronic animals and humorous skippers. Some very young children might be startled by sudden appearances or sounds.
  • Speed: A slow-moving boat ride, designed for a leisurely and relaxing pace.
  • Ride Duration: Jungle Cruise is approximately 7–10 minutes long, offering a substantial yet manageable experience for all ages.
  • Drops: No drops or steep inclines. The ride is a smooth and flat riverboat journey.
  • Pregnancy Advisory: Safe for pregnant guests, with no sudden movements or intense elements.
  • Accessibility: Accessible boats accommodate one wheelchair or ECV, but larger devices may not fit. Guests can wait in an accessible line or transfer by stepping over the small side into a bobbing boat with assistance. Accessible boats use a lift platform, but wait times may be longer.
  • Sensory Advisory: Jungle Cruise is one of the more sensory-friendly rides, with a few dark tunnel moments and a misty waterfall. While the tour guide’s microphone can be loud, there are no fast movements, bright lights, or scary elements.
  • Plus-Size Friendly: Generally plus-size friendly with bench seating. Boarding may require stepping into the boat, and cast members are available to assist if needed.
  • Best Age Group: Suitable for all ages. Adults and older children may appreciate the humor, while younger children enjoy the visual elements and playful atmosphere.
