0:13

0:27
a little bit early today is the official
0:30
reopening of the all new
0:33
repurposed reimagined jungle cruise and
0:36
even though it soft opened about a week
0:40
or so ago there have not been any wait
0:42
times on the app up until most likely
0:44
today they will be posted and I'm
0:46
thinking maybe a little differences in
0:48
the Spiel and maybe a few surprises
0:51
crossing my
0:52
fingers that Disney does that today I'm
0:55
just going to see what the vibe is like
0:58
I'm going to head down Harbor and inside
1:00
I'm inviting you to join me shall
1:10
you I probably should have got one of
1:10
those cardboard sleeves to keep the heat
1:12
out this is a piping hot caffeinated
1:14
beverage I've procured from the corner
1:15
of Harbor and catella get a little
1:18
caffeinated but I'm going to stop off
1:20
here as I'm walking in Walt Disney star
1:22
who you know created the jungle cruise
1:25
many photos of him on the attraction
1:27
working on the animatronics and driving
1:29
the doing being a skipper on the boats
1:31
itself one of wal's original attractions
1:35
there is a nice little ride share drop
1:36
off area here right here on Harbor as
1:39
well if you don't want to park at the
1:40
structure and you're at a hotel that's a
1:41
few miles away or if you live a few
1:43
miles off this is an option saves you a
1:46
little time than walking over from the
1:47
parking structure Down The Long tram
1:50
route that right now there's no trams
1:51
running so keep that in mind nor is the
1:54
Montreal for now it'll be back soon but
1:57
at least a jungle cruise the jungle
1:59
cruise is back officially like I said
2:01
even though it soft open a few days ago
2:03
it is officially back as of July 16th
2:06
2021 oh wow the checkpoint over here
2:08
hasn't even opened yet so the checkpoint
2:10
off Harbor must not open till 7:00 a.m.
2:12
okay for future reference the line does
2:14
not start moving to the espano till 7:15
2:16
so you got to stand there till 7:15
2:18
before you start moving I have chosen
2:20
the queue over here on the far end and
2:22
I'm only about maybe the the the 12th or
2:25
so person in line to get in and there
2:27
are some over there that have some
2:28
little skipper hats on that were here
2:30
for a DVC event I tried getting tickets
2:32
to that but it sold out very very
2:34
quickly within a matter of seconds so I
2:36
wasn't able to get it but they got it
2:37
here at 5:30 and they're leaving by 7:15
2:41
but I'm hoping whatever that they got to
2:43
see will still be happening for the
2:45
first rope drop gas that's why I got
2:47
here so early but you can see they are
2:49
they are being escorted out because they
2:50
do not have Park admission only for the
2:52
special event that was from 5:30 to 7
2:54
a.m. and for a good rule of thumb
2:56
definitely good to come over to this far
2:58
side because the line now is very very
3:01
lengthy I think it's about another
3:02
minute and going through gate number
3:06
31 all right that's it going through he
3:09
already scanned my ticket look at that
3:11
that was quick that was kind of that was
3:12
kind of nice like he pre-canned it while
3:14
I was in line now going underneath the
3:16
train station like one of the first 10

10:59
$32 you could go with the the proper the
11:03
very proper headwear as well there's a
11:05
few of these left now by this point the
11:07
line has probably lengthened quite a bit
11:09
it's gone up to the upper level but I'm
11:11
definitely going to go on it again yeah
11:12
I got to at least do it more than once
11:14
on the proper technical opening day
11:16
right yeah that's what I'm saying to
11:18
myself I'm already here go on it again
11:20
getting here early was probably a good
11:22
call Imagine as the day progresses and
11:23
all the other attractions everyone runs
11:25
over to they'll head over here and the
11:27
weight times will be pretty lengthy so
11:30
good thing rope drop just head right
11:31
over and get it done and this is just
11:33
for today the souvenir container no

with a jungle cruise boat oh yeah see
11:44
the stanions are have been rolled out
11:46
now the first one first ride through was
11:47
a walk- on I'm guessing the second will
11:49
probably be a half hour to 40 minutes
11:51
cuz it does go up onto the upper level
11:53
so just a guess 40 minutes let's see
11:54
what happens and also on a side note
11:56
it's really good to see Adventure Land
11:58
all filled up up and full of people
12:00

12:12
stanion area now as we speak board a
12:14
jungle boat and travel to an exotic
12:16
rivers of the world and over here in the
12:18
queue they have some little drawings a
12:20
little uh little plans of what the boats
12:22
look like all the little graphics and
12:24
whatnot what you call these uh I'm
12:26

18:19
first right
18:21
there they're fish pained on the Rocks

18:54
affectionate coming up on Trader Sam has
18:57
been removed the Traer Sam has a gift
18:59
shop here now check it out and of course
19:01
I love the monkey that's taking the
19:03
photo oh monkey just took our photo nice
19:06
what if I wonder if they'll put that on
19:07
the app probably not yet but maybe one
19:09
day it be cool if they took a real
19:11
photo all right enjoy the rest your stay
19:17
here all right I got two rides in by
19:19
9:07 a.m. and even at 9:07 a.m. as I'm
19:23
kind of pointing at the upper level the
19:24
upper level is cleared out so that that
19:27
second ride was about a 45-minute w I
19:29
would guess it's probably maybe a a 15
19:30
or 20 now so it's dissipating a little
19:33
bit so busy in the morning well I walked
19:35
on the first one gets a little bit busy
19:37
about 8:30 and then it kind of kind of
19:38
slows down a little bit but I would
19:40
imagine in the afternoon it'll get busy
19:41
again and a very short day today just I
19:43
just kind of popped in to do a couple
19:45
ride throughs and then heading out quite
19:47
a few people heading out or heading in
19:48
I'm heading
19:59
out oh the sun is like really
19:59
silhouetting that out says thanks for
20:01
visiting you're welcome there was a
20:03
little bit of a rumor I don't believe it
20:05
ever came to fruition that during the
20:07
DVC event it started at 5 from 5:30 to
20:09
7:00 a.m. of course I showed up here
20:12
right when that was ending and got in
20:13
right at Ro trop at 8 that they there
20:16
was a possibility that The Rock would be
20:20
onto either one of the the little areas
20:22
on the jungle cruise kind of like how
20:24
Johnny Depp did with Pirates of the
20:26
Caribbean years ago a few years ago on
20:29
Pirates and Johnny Depp the actor stood
20:32
on the ride in Surprise guess I was
20:34
thinking maybe if they were to do that
20:37
for the d23
20:39
event that was sold out immediately
20:42
within you know like 1 second that if I
20:45
got here at ROP drop there would be a
20:46
possibility that that that magic moment
20:49
would kind
20:50
of kind of head back over into the
20:52
normal guest experience which didn't
20:54
happen nonetheless really enjoy the new
20:57
Jungle Cruise is it just interesting not
20:58
seeing Trader Sam I'm going to miss
21:00
Trader Sam it's kind of neat some of the
21:02
additions they added some of the some of
21:04
the characters in animatronics like the
21:06
monkey that has the butterfly net it's
21:08
catching the
21:09
butterflies they call they called they
21:11
called her a net you know a net cuz
21:14
she's holding a net I also brought my
21:17
umbrella yeah it's getting warm glad I'm
21:20
heading out of here at early time it's
21:22
just a little toasty not Florida toasty
21:24
definitely Anaheim toasty that's going
21:26
