Jingle Cruise 2023
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.

Single-day-tickets for MK are not available on Christmas Eve nor Christmas Day. Disney would rather have a manageable crowd than anyone's $190.

Disney actively tries to prevent that. They have to staff more and GSATs plummet anyway. No one wins.

Many around here have been saying for weeks - "The crowds are coming! The crowds are coming!"

Who said there are supposed to be hordes of people? The whole purpose of reservations, limited passes, and surge pricing was to discourage the kind of numbers that shut down a gate. And to make money.

Big crowds are expected after Christmas until January 4th. This past weekend through Christmas Day was supposed to be moderate busy according to projections.

*Checks current wait times* *Notes there isn't anything out of the ordinary, with SDD and FoP having 2 and 2.5 hour waits* Where are the hordes of people that were supposed to descend on the parks this week? Maybe they all stayed away once LLPP sold out...

Doesn't look like MWCT is using Prim. for Day Guests this year.

Santa Duffy was the DHS Christmas Week replacement in 2023 as well so this just seems to be business as usual at this point

Santa Goofy is confirmed at DAK. I’m guessing Duffy because Duffy meets at Jollywood.

Something called “Santa Duffy” replaces Santa at the DHS M&G 12/25-31. I remember Santa Goofy years back. Guess it’s Duffy now?

Of course all this is is a 2 hour commercial to promote the parks and resorts….what else would it be? And yes, I totally see where it would be better to make tons of Disney staff and entertainment people have to work on Christmas instead of being with their families to cater to a bunch of people who want to have a “live event” as opposed to-prerecorded. And certainly given that the parks are completely empty in Xmas day, it definitely makes sense to do the live show then, as opposed to pre-recorded since with such low crowds it won’t interfere at all with the guests and day at the park.

SOUNDS BORING to me! All this is is a HUGE 2 hour INFOMERCIAL for DIsney Resorts...nothing special anymore! This was 'something' to watch...just like The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade...because it was LIVE and not prerecorded. Bring back the Christmas Day Parade: LIVE from WDW and DL...then you'll have a bigger viewing audience...I will not be watching

Not to mention a Ball and lots of stars.
