This past January, Disney announced Disneyland and Walt Disney World’s version of the Jungle Cruise will undergo changes to address specific scenes that are culturally inappropriate. The Walt Disney World version has remained open to guests during the update. Even though the Disneyland Resort was closed, work began on their attraction as well. When the Anaheim resort reopened to guests last month, the Jungle Cruise attraction remained closed to guests.

Today, Disney announced Disneyland’s Jungle Cruise attraction will be completed next month and will reopen to guests on 16 July.

The Disney Parks Blog said when Disneyland’s Jungle Cruise reopens, guests, will experience “an updated experience that welcomes new characters from around the world plus even more of the humor, wildlife, and skipper heart that makes this classic attraction a favorite.” Walt Disney World’s version will be completed sometime this summer.

“Progress continues at both parks as Imagineers build on the original story with new adventures that stay true to the experience we know and love. Today we’re revealing a behind-the-scenes look at the work on Trader Sam’s newest venture, which recently dropped in at Disneyland.

True to his reputation as the best merchant in the jungle, Trader Sam has found a way to convert the new Lost & Found location into something more profitable for the Jungle Navigation Company Ltd. The Jungle Cruise appears to be going the route of all the best rides – ending with a gift shop!

True to their reputations, our world-famous skippers will continue their unique presentations along the river with interactions that guests expect. In this video, Disney Imagineer Kevin Lively takes us on a recent trip down the river at Magic Kingdom to share a reminder of some classic Jungle Cruise moments.

As previously shared, the Jungle Cruise enhancements include several new scenes along the river, all interconnected.  Unexpected scenarios along the way will give the jungle and the animals the last laugh!”
