Cons: Pales in comparison to real animals at the Animal Kingdom.

Pros: relaxing, fun animatronics, enjoyably corny
Cons: maybe too sedate or cheesy for some

Pros: uses FASTPASS, fun, skippers sometimes can be funny
Cons: not fun for teens, no real animals, gets boring
Summary: This was the ride that I was really looking forward to when we went to the Magic Kingdom. It uses the FASTPASS which is nice feature. If the skipper of your boat is really into doing it, then you will have some fun. If not, it is a waste of your time. ... read more

Pros: A fun adventure through the jungle- kids will love it
Cons: May be a bit boring for teenagers
Summary: For some reason, the Jungle Cruise has never had a huge draw for me, at least as a teenager and adult. The line always seemed too long, or it just wasn’t on the agenda for important rides of the day. But on our last trip to the Magic ... read more

Pros: A true Disney classic, fun, witty skippers, peaceful boat ride.
Cons: If the line is long, it takes out the fun, so use a Fastpass.

Pros: You get to sit down for a spell.
Cons: The cheesy animatronics and the boat driver.
Summary: What a snooze. We waited in line for this for about 15 minutes and it was not worth it at all.
Before we left for WDW, my good friend told me to avoid this ride because it was ghetto. I laughed at him and thought nothing more of his ... read more

Pros: funny, features robotic animals
Cons: long lines
Summary: You could have fooled me or maybe some six year old kids. Just kidding! This is a cute ride through a jungle. First you have to wait on a line that winds round and round. It is wound up and therefore does not look that long.
You are escorted ... read more

Pros: Nice scenery; Ride with a rich history; Potentially different every time
Cons: 'Different' not always meaning 'better'
Summary: First off, love this ride or hate it, it has to be considered a 'classic'. It's been around long enough to cement its place in pop culture and earn that distinction. The problem is that not everyone appreciates that. Let me explain.

Cons: fun depends on the guide
Summary: On my last trip to WDW, while waiting for the park to close and people to clear out so we could enjoy the E-Ride Night (a wonderful $10 program where you get to stay in the park a few hours after it closes and ride certain rides), we were looking for ... read more

Pros: Used to be funny if you have a good skipper
Cons: Political correctness has ruined it
Summary: Once upon a time in Adventureland, there was a ride called the Jungle Cruise that was corny but enjoyable. The corniness came from the prepared script that the skippers were supposed to stick to. The enjoyable part came when you ended up with a ... read more

Pros: magical for children
Cons: silly and not worth the wait for adults without children

Pros: It is a classic, and uses FASTPASS.

Pros: enjoyable scenery, funny stories

Pros: much to see/convincing atmosphere/interactive with ride operator
Cons: very long wait times in line

Pros: Creative, provides shade, believable animals
Cons: Long lines, corny jokes
Summary: The Jungle Cruise is definitely one of Walt Disney World's older rides. It's undergone very few renovations since it opened. The elephant haven't moved from their waterfall; the cannibals are still preparing to throw their spears. That raises the ... read more
