Disney World is undergoing quite a few changes!
Jungle Cruise
One of those is the reimagining of the Jungle Cruise — and we’ve been keeping a close eye on this project! The work is expected to wrap up this summer, but the ride is OPEN in the meantime. That means we’re constantly hoppin’ aboard to see what’s new.
We’ve already told ya that the famous Trader Sam scene has been removed from the ride — and that Disney announced a replacement. And now, we’ve got a first look at what this new scene looks like in person!
There it is!
That new scene is Trader Sam’s gift shop (which he repurposed from the river’s Lost and Found station, of course!). As of now, we can only see the building itself, as the interior remains covered.
Here’s a closer look!
Here’s what it’ll look like when it’s complete!

Not bad, but I kinda miss Trader Sam. His two for one deal always gave me the willies.
It is too bad that we are loosing all of the Disney Magic that made this attraction uedgendary
I like the Jungle Cruise and I don’t know that changing it is all that good of an idea. Things like shrinking heads really happened and although the thought is far from pleasant, it’s history and people can learn from it which is valuable.
They replaced a great scene with something that looks like my father’s messy garage! Ruining more of that Disney magic.
