Disney World has the best rides, right?!

And we’re not all just about the brand new rides like Tiana’s Bayou Adventure or TRON Lightcycle / Run. No, even the classics like Peter Pan’s Flight or the Mad Tea Party can still slap. Now that got us thinking about your next trip especially if you’re a true fan of the Jungle Cruise and you’re counting down the days until your next voyage, there’s this one rule that every Cast Member at Jungle Cruise is begging you not to break. Let’s talk about it!

What’s that rule at Jungle Cruise in Magic Kingdom that has Disney World Cast Members begging that you don’t break it? Well, actually, we’ve got a couple of them. Let’s dive right in.

Don’t Touch the Water

First things first, we’ve got to talk about the water. The murky waters of the Amazon (or wherever your skipper claims you are) might look inviting, but trust us, you do NOT want to be dipping your fingers in it.

It’s not a petting zoo, people! There are might be unseen dangers just beneath the surface. Plus, who knows what kind of germs are floating around in there too? Let’s keep those hands inside the boat, okay?

Don’t Block the View

Without question, one of the greatest highlights of the Jungle Cruise is the moment you get to see the legendary backside of water. It’s a marvel, a wonder, and it just might bring a tear to your eye kind of moment! But it’s hard to capture if someone’s blocking your view.

Let’s be considerate of our fellow passengers. Everyone deserves a shot of that glorious H2O magic. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy that watery wonder of the world.

Respect the Wildlife

Yes, the elephants are cute, and the lions look oh so majestic. But remember, even though they’re made of metal and wires, they deserve our respect. Please, oh please, don’t throw anything at them.

Those animatronics are pieces of Disney history, and should be treated with care. Plus, do you really want to be the person who damaged a Jungle Cruise lion? We sure don’t!

Watch Your Kids

Disney World is such a great place for families, and we love that, but let’s be clear that your skippers are not babysitters. We have to keep an eye on our little explorers at all times.

This isn’t just for their safety, but for everyone’s enjoyment. The last thing we want is for something to happen to a child (that’s no fun for anyone). So, let’s make sure our kiddos are seated and safe, and let the skippers focus on navigating those “treacherous” waters and delivering their “legendary” punchlines.

Don’t Stand Up

We get it. This one might seem obvious, but you’d be surprised how many people forget those three simple words. Don’t. Stand. Up. The Jungle Cruise boats are designed for sitting.

Standing up on one of them can throw off the balance of the boat and, in the worst-case scenario, you might end up taking an unexpected swim. Trust us, taking a dip in the Jungle Cruise waters is not the refreshing break you think it might be. Let’s stay seated, safe, and enjoy the ride.

We’ll keep watching for more updates, so stay tuned to DFB for all the latest news!
