One Celebrity Lived Out His Dream as a Disney Jungle Cruise Skipper!

Let’s be honest — we probably all have “dream” jobs that we wish we could take at Disney World or Disneyland.

Whether is an operator at your favorite ride, performing in a parade, being “friends” with a character, or working as a VIP tour guide, there are so many options to choose from! But it turns out that celebrities have some of the same dreams we do — and a Disney Legend recently got to try out their dream Disney role.

Josh Gad, who plays Olaf in Disney’s Frozen, is known to be a pretty funny guy. Gad’s social media accounts are filled with hilarious jokes and commentary, and he even dropped a few quips in his speech when he was named a “Disney Legend” last year. However, during that speech he also said something pretty interesting.

At the D23 Expo, Josh Gad revealed that it was his dream to be a skipper on the Jungle Cruise, a ride located at both Magic Kingdom and Disneyland Park. Unfortunately, he was rejected for the role years ago. But Disney is in the business of making dreams come true…so they DID.

Recently, Josh Gad got the chance to live out a day in the life of a Jungle Cruise Cast Member, leading a group of unsuspecting guests on a journey through “treacherous” territory while narrating the whole thing with hilarious commentary. Just watch the video — we dare you not to laugh!

Our favorite part? He ends the video by saying “If you enjoyed this video, I’m Josh Gad. If you didn’t, I’m Josh D’Amaro.” Now that’s some deep Disney fan humor right there! 😂

We’ll make sure to keep you updated if any more celebrities get the chance to skipper a Jungle Cruise because we totally wish that Disney would make this a series!
