Disney Jungle Cruise is on the surface a trip down a jungle river which replicates parts of the Nile, Burma's Irrawaddy River, Cambodia's Mekong, and Africa's Congo, but the real show here is the skipper and his stream of bad jokes and punny patter.
The Disney Jungle Cruise was one of the original Disneyland attractions, introduced on Opening Day, 1955.

Fun Facts About Disney Jungle Cruise
Disney Jungle Cruise is one of only two Disneyland attractions where a cast member rides with you (the other is Storyland Canal Boats).
Walt originally wanted real animals here, but when he found out they were mostly nocturnal, he turned to mechanical ones instead.
Accessibility
If you're in a wheelchair, go to the exit and ask a cast member for assistance. You will have to go up and down a few steps to get on and off the boat. If you're in an ECV, you'll have to transfer to a wheelchair first, then to the ride.
