Permit Signals Jungle Cruise’s Temporary Switch to Jingle Cruise at Magic Kingdom

The annual overlay preserves the route, adds holiday decor, renames boats, updates skipper jokes.

Overview

  • Walt Disney Imagineering filed a permit listing the scope as “install signage” at Jungle Cruise in Adventureland.
  • Disney confirmed the classic version will close later this year for its seasonal Jingle Cruise overlay, described as temporary.
  • No dates were announced, though the transition typically occurs in early November as holiday festivities begin at Magic Kingdom.
  • The Jingle Cruise keeps the ride path and animatronics while swapping entrance signage, decorations, boat names, and holiday-themed skipper scripts.
  • Guests who prefer the classic experience may want to ride soon, as the traditional version usually returns after the New Year.
