Posted: Monday July 5, 2021 9:39am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Guest are now getting a look at Trader Sam's Gift Shop at Disney World's Jungle Cruise as work continues adding the new scene to the ending of the ride.


The 'Lost & Found' scene was one of the first of the new sets to be installed but has sat mainly covered for the last couple of months.



According to the story, "Word on the stream is that Alberta Falls, proprietor of the Jungle Navigation Company Ltd., has entrusted her longtime friend, Trader Sam, to manage the new Lost & Found location. But, with Trader Sam being Trader Sam, there’s always an opportunity to make some extra money. After all, all the best rides end with a gift shop, right? "



Although the new set is uncovered, the concept art shows more props and figures will be added to the scene.

Disney has said that the ride will be completed later this summer and will remain in operation throughout with no closures needed.

This Skipper was great with the Christmas puns. Although some didn't land. Just need to change up the delivery a little. Still don't like the canoe rental scene.

So does anyone know where the frogs exactly are this time? Even though there’s buzz around them (pun intended), I’ve yet to see any videos actually showcasing them, just announcements.

Yeah…it’s supposedly been updated since the whole ride was updated.

Secular? That's why they started putting out the Xmas crap halfway through October. (only a light exaggeration, there was Xmas stuff out ON Halloween)

You are the first then. Are there supposed to be anything different enough to note?

Secular? Disney? Nah it's about "more money!" as in $ $ $. Grease the squeaky wheel and bring in more $ $ $ $. Pretty simple actually.

I was being serious. Jingle Cruise is open. Shocked there are no comments.

They are working on making it more secular, more "disney", more money!

Jungle Cruise at Disneyland also loads and off loads pretty quickly

Mansion, Splash, Pirates (my favorite ride as a kid, so partially nostalgia although it's still quite good), CoP... and I'm not sure what would go in the 5th spot. Maybe Big Thunder. Pan and Small World would be in the running too.

Pan Small World Mansion Splash amirite?

UNCgolfNov 01, 2021

Definitely can't agree there -- CoP is one of the only attractions I can't miss at WDW. It's the best attraction in Tomorrowland and one of the top 5 at the whole Magic Kingdom for me.
