Jingle Cruise Returns to Magic Kingdom After Overnight Switch

The unannounced holiday overlay runs daily through January 1 with regular-hours access.

Overview

  • Disney quietly flipped Jungle Cruise to its seasonal Jingle Cruise on November 3 without a prior press release or social-media teaser.
  • Walt Disney World's schedule lists Jungle Cruise returning January 2, confirming Jingle Cruise operates through January 1.
  • The overlay features a heavily decorated entrance and queue, holiday scene dressing along the river, seasonal boat names, and festive skipper patter.
  • Opening-day demand surged, with reported waits around 110 minutes at 1 p.m. and about 75 minutes by 4 p.m.
  • The experience is available to all daytime guests, with advice to rope-drop or secure a Lightning Lane reservation due to high interest.
