Disney Confirms Jingle Cruise Returns to Magic Kingdom on Nov. 3

The seasonal overlay preserves the skipper-led charm, adding festive décor, costumes, holiday-themed jokes.

Overview

  • Disney set Nov. 3 for the Jungle Cruise’s holiday transformation, marking the attraction’s annual shift to Jingle Cruise days after Halloween.
  • Skippers trade standard outfits for seasonal looks as boats and the queue gain decorations, with scripts updated for holiday puns.
  • The overlay is temporary and maintains the classic, low-tech experience that has defined the ride since its 1971 debut.
  • Space Mountain will also run a limited holiday version featuring red and green lighting plus a seasonal soundtrack.
  • The timing aligns with Walt Disney World’s broader holiday rollout, including Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, Jollywood Nights, and EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays.
