"The Jungle Cruise is one of my favorite rides. As an afficienado of the Disney World experience, i would have to say this is one of the best. The jokes, as cheesy as they are, make me laugh every time (A hard thing to do because I am a teenager). The animatronics are great and look pretty real. Thats the fun of it. Great Fun. The best advice for this ride, besides using a fast pass, is to go on it just before the park closes. Its cooler to see at night and since its the end of the day, the tour guides will stray from the script and take a more ad-libbed aproach to the ride." Will

"The jungle cruise was so exciting and so much fun. I would definetly go on this ride again on my next trip. Fastpass helped a lot during the busy time of day when I visited. Children loved the animatronic animals. I would definetly recommend this ride to every one. It was awesome! Use Fastpass. Don't let the kids miss it. Excellent ride and attraction. One of Disney's best in my opinion." Isabella

"Under 12? As a 16 year old, I love this ride. This is definatley a family ride and it's enjoyable no matter what age. I loved it as a kid and I love it now. It's one of my favorite Disney rides and although the jokes get old, the fun doesn't. This is definatley and all age ride unless you do have a "too hip for Disney" teen. But then again, those people should be shot." (8/02) Erik Clancy

"The Jungle Cruise is a great ride for kids to about the teen years. With the help of animatronic , Disney has created a wonderful ride that is filled with fiesty and curious animals and smart remarking skippers . You'll be taken on a cruise where your skipper will show you the great rivers of the world with elephants bathing and gorillas trashing camps .If your lucky you might escape from the head-hunters or even get to buy shrunken heads from sam the head-hunter.This ride is a nice break from the Fantasyland rides . You are floated down the river in boats that carry about 20 passengers and the line moves pretty fast when all the watercraft are on the track.I would make this a once hit ride if you have kids under the age of 12 .If you have kids or you are older, stop at this only if time permits." Chris Raimondo
