Posted: Monday October 14, 2024 4:!5pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Magic Kingdom's Adventureland holiday overlay, the Jingle Cruise, is set to return for the festive season, beginning November 2, 2024.


The Jungle Cruise attraction will take on a holiday twist, as skippers navigate their boats through a tropical winter wonderland filled with playful decorations, themed jokes, and plenty of holiday cheer.

Before the Jingle Cruise transformation, Jungle Cruise is scheduled to reopen from its refurbishment on October 16, 2024.

When it reopens later this week, the Jungle Cruise will continue to serve as a treat location during the remaining Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party dates.

We know exactly what spaces like Whispering Canyon Cafe and Grand Floridian Cafe are going to be used for and we know they can’t be bothered to decorate them anymore.

Was it decorated last year? If not, I think it’s fair to assume they have some kind of plan for the space, at least for the holiday season.

November 27 is the next Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party date that has now sold out.

based on the last 4 years other than sometimes being used as an activity space it’ll sit roped off 95% of the time

I wouldn’t call that baffling. It just means you have no idea what they’re going to do with that space.

November 22 is the next Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party date that has now sold out. 2 dates remain available in November: 21 and 27.

I think it’s Jeff.vahle@disney.com.

sent in my two cents to the standard guest relations email...but how do we write that particular person directly or the resort itself directly?

Decorating Blizzard Beach, in particular, seems like a missed opportunity to me. 🤷‍♂️ They have the themed mini-golf right there, snow/winter themed water park…

I'm not expecting decorating. Last year they had Santa, the present floaties, and gingerbread decorating, though. And I could swear there was at least one more specialty food item (not the peppermint milkshake). Edit: There was also snope near the "sled shop".

They haven’t really decorated the water parks in years…

People, people… you have to stop holding Disney to the standards they used to have, the ones they themselves set. Stop complaining about what they used to do vs what’s going on now and being so stuck in the past. Just be happy Disney is graciously providing you the opportunity to be activated and spend an additional $169+ for a Christmas party at MK or an additional $149+ for “Jollywood Nights” at DHS.

It’s definitely going to be manpower/overtime savings. If it’s not behind a separate paywall or microtransaction then they really have no incentive to do it.

Is there nothing for Blizzard Beach this year or am I too early? They don't even have the present themed floaties and I can't imagine why they wouldn't at least have those so I'm guessing I'm too early but can't find anything about it coming up.
