It’s hard to believe, but before you know it, we’ll be ringing in a new year and heading into 2026.
Jungle Cruise
That means that everything associated with the holiday season will be ending, too, including the popular ride overlay Jingle Cruise. And we know just when Jingle Cruise will officially go away and when the regular Jungle Cruise will return.
The last day you’ll have a chance to ride Jingle Cruise will be on January 2nd, at least according to the Disney World website calendar. The last day with hours for the ride is on January 1st from 9 AM to 10 PM.

However, the regular Jungle Cruise is showing hours as of January 3rd, meaning the ride change will happen overnight. So if you’re visiting Disney World during that first week in January, you could have a chance to get two different ride experiences on the same ride.

Jingle Cruise is a special holiday version of the ride, complete with a fun queue, festive decor, and holiday puns. It’s just as much fun to ride as the regular Jungle Cruise, plus it helps you get into the holiday spirit quickly. If you’re visiting while Jingle Cruise is available, we highly recommend it.

Note that Jingle Cruise tends to have longer wait times because it is so popular. Your best bet is to use Lightning Lane Multi Pass to grab a Lightning Lane for the ride.
