Walt Disney World has announced the reopening date for the Jungle Cruise attraction at Magic Kingdom following its fall refurbishment. This update will be of interest to visitors planning their trips around the availability of this beloved attraction.
Scheduled Refurbishment Period
Starting from August 26th, the Jungle Cruise will be closed for a previously-unknown refurbishment period. The attraction is set to reopen on October 18th. This information can be useful for guests planning their visits during this time frame.
Nature of the Refurbishment
While Disney has not provided specific details about the refurbishment work to be done, it is unlikely that there will be significant changes to the attraction’s show scenes. The Jungle Cruise had undergone updates in 2021, which were completed overnight to keep the attraction open during the day.
Focus on Structural Improvements
This round of refurbishment appears to be more focused on structural improvements. A Notice of Commencement permit filed in April mentions general construction work to be carried out by Underwater Engineering Services Inc. The permit specifies “underwater work” without going into further detail, indicating that the updates may involve maintenance that is not immediately visible to guests.
Keeping Up with Updates
For those interested in the latest developments at Disney Parks, frequent updates are provided by various sources. Staying informed can help visitors plan their trips more effectively and ensure that they do not miss out on their favorite attractions.
Conclusion
The Jungle Cruise refurbishment is a part of Walt Disney World’s ongoing efforts to maintain and improve its attractions. By focusing on structural updates, Disney aims to ensure the continued safety and enjoyment of this classic ride. Guests planning their visits in late October can look forward to experiencing the Jungle Cruise once again.
