The Magic Kingdom Christmas tree is here! Santa Claus is coming to town, the first Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is coming soon, and even the skippers at the Jungle Cruise are ready to celebrate the holiday season.

The tree has arrived in Magic Kingdom!
That’s right! One of our favorite holiday overlays is officially BACK for the season — the Jungle Cruise transformed into the Jingle Cruise, and we went bright and early to check it out.
In case you’re new here, the Jingle Cruise is a festive little adventure through the jungle, and your journey around the world is captained by a trusty skipper with a great sense of humor. It’s a fun time — don’t forget to keep your eyes out for the world-famous backside of water!

Jingle Cruise is BACK!
OK, so what makes the Jingle Cruise different than the Jungle Cruise? Well, a key vowel, for starters.

Let’s take a ride!
OK, jokes aside, Disney goes ALL OUT on the holiday decorations at the Jingle Cruise. Even the queue is filled with holiday cheer!

This is so fun!
The line can get pretty long to ride this attraction, but the good news is that there’s plenty to look at while you wait.

A little boat modification for the holidays
It looks like the Jingle Cruise skippers know how to celebrate the season!

Happy holidays!
We won’t spoil the rest of the ride — you’ll have to go and visit for yourself if you want to see what’s happening deep in the jungles of Adventureland.

This ride is so fun!
If you’re looking for more holiday cheer around Disney World, there’s a LOT to see and do. Nearby, the epic Gingerbread House display is coming to life at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, and EPCOT announced a BUNCH of new additions as part of its annual International Festival of the Holidays event. Spoiler alert: there’s gonna be a GINGERBREAD SPACESHIP EARTH. 🤯
