The Jingle Cruise holiday overlay is returning to the Jungle Cruise attraction at Magic Kingdom this week! Guests looking for a touch of holiday magic will find that the Jungle Cruise transforms overnight into a festive foray into the rivers of the world. The Jingle Cruise overlay begins November 2, 2024 and will run through the holiday season at Magic Kingdom. There is no extra charge or special access required to enjoy the Jingle Cruise, which will be open to all guests starting this Saturday.
Jingle Cruise Returns Nov. 2nd for 2024 Holiday Season
The Jingle Cruise started back in 1935 (according to Jungle Cruise lore), but officially debuted at Magic Kingdom in 2013. Over the years, more props and jokes have been added to the jungle, and have made the Jingle Cruise a holiday season must-do.
During the holiday season, the beloved Jungle Cruise experience is transformed into the Jingle Cruise—a festive-yet-familiar adventure from stem to stern!
Join the homesick Jungle Cruise skippers as they set out on a holly, jolly journey packed with silly shenanigans. The boathouse and beyond are decked out with merry décor that’s been mailed to the skippers or that they’ve created themselves. They’re even unwrapping a few holiday jokes to help everyone get in the spirit.
Last year, I took more than 800 photos of the Jingle Cruise attraction on opening day, and after throwing out the bad photos, I was left with more than 100 photos of the queue and attraction overlay! Check out the article below for a detailed look at the Jingle Cruise in Magic Kingdom!
