It’s beginning to look at a lot like Christmas at the Magic Kingdom…
We’ve spotted Christmas treats and decor and merchandise — oh my! But those aren’t the only things getting the holiday treatment. Some of your favorite Magic Kingdom Attractions are getting Yuletide makeovers as well! We previously reported on festive trees popping up over at the Tomorrowland Speedway, and now we’re excited to share photos from a returning favorite!
Ho-ho-hope you’re ready to laugh your jingle bells off — the Jingle Cruise is BACK!
You may be asking yourself “What’s the Jingle Cruise?!” Well friends, it’s a Christmas makeover at the classic Jungle Cruise — though now the Skippers are telling Holiday-related humor! Let’s say “Jungle all the Way!” and check it out!
Around the loading and queue area, we spotted lots of garland, ornaments, and of course, hilarious holiday hi-jinx.
Click to enlarge the Skippers’ New Year’s Resolutions board above — my favorites are “75% passenger return rate” and “Werk on spelling skillz.”
They also re-name the boats to be appropriately themed…such as the “Reindeer Ruby,” “Brr-Bertha” or the “Sleigh-Ride Sadie.”
And along the rivers, you’ll spot the animals have donned their festive apparel!
And of course, what would a trip on the Jingle Cruise be without some delightfully corny Christmas jokes from our favorite Skippers? Be sure to say hi to Trader Sam-ta for us!!
This is a holiday overlay we look forward to every year! What can we say? The Jingle Cruise SLEIGHS us every year and we are so happy it’s back for this Holiday Season!
