''Jungle Cruise'' is an outdoor boat ride that can be found at the Ride/DisneyThemeParks. It is among the very first Disney attractions to come into being, having opened with Disneyland in 1955.
Located in the Adventureland area of each of the parks, the attraction is themed as an exotic trip across the various rivers of the world. Guests board a '30s era British tramp steamer boat, where they are immediately introduced to their "skipper", who along with piloting the ship also serves as a rather big source of puns and other forms of cheesy humor on the trip. Throughout the experience, riders are met with sights such as an elephant bathing pool, ancient ruins, an African Savannah, as well as the too-close-for-comfort sights of snakes, mischievous gorillas, ravenous head hunters, hippopotamuses, and more.
The ride can be found at four of the six Disneyland parks across the globe, including:
* '''Disneyland''': Where the attraction first originated. It opened on July 17th, 1955.
* '''Magic Kingdom''': An alternate version of the attraction, which includes some different scenes from its Anaheim counterpart, most notably a trip through an ancient temple. It opened on October 1st, 1971.
* '''Tokyo Disneyland''': Known as ''Jungle Cruise: Wildlife Expeditions'', the ride is very similar to Magic Kingdom's version, although it received some upgrades in 2015 that added in new lighting effects, music, and a sub-plot involving "animal spirits" that are summoned via three amulets on the boat. It opened on April 15th, 1983.
* '''Hong Kong Disneyland''': Known as ''Jungle River Cruise'', the ride is located on the park's Adventureland-equivalent of the Rivers of America, encircling ''Tarzan's Treehouse'' instead of ''Tom Sawyer's Island''. Among the different scenes in this version, the stand-out is a huge finale involving a battle between a fire god and a water god. It opened on September 12th, 2005.
----
->''Wave goodbye to all those people on the dock.... 'cause you may never see 'em again. Of course, you've never seen 'em before, so you aren't gonna miss anything.''
!!Tropes shown in ''Jungle Cruise'' include:
* TheAmazon: Among the many locations traveled to in the ride is the Amazon river, which includes some ever-so lovely encounters with piranhas and a boa constrictor.
* ApocalypticLog: One of the radio transmissions in the queue has a skipper warning the dockmasters about the natives attacking passing boats, cracking in and out before being lost in static.
* BaitAndSwitch: A frequent gag in the ride; a notable one being:
-->Over there is Schweitzer Falls, named after the famous explorer, Dr. Falls.
* BigCreepyCrawlies: The first scene in the attraction features over-sized butterflies, though they're more beautiful than creepy.
* BitingTheHandHumor: Some of the skippers will occasionally poke fun at several aspects of the parks.
-->Off to the right of the boat, you can see what we call the ''Indiana Jones Adventure and the Temple of the Four-Hour Line''.
* BlackComedy: There's plenty of jokes about cannibalism and death altogether in the attraction, among other things.
* {{Bowdlerise}}: In the hippo scene, the skipper used to fire their gun at the hippos, but this was later changed to them instead firing their gun into the air in order to scare them off.
* CannibalTribe: The headhunter tribe, who even attempt to make a meal out the guests at one point.
* CaptainObvious: Another recurring joke that the skippers will do. For instance, Disneyland's version starts with the skipper pointing out the first sign of danger: A "Danger" sign.
* ChildHater: Certain skippers don't seem to be overly fond of children.
-->Watch your step, and please don't step on small children indiscriminately. Pick the one you want and make sure you get him!
* ChristmasSpecial: From November to January, the ride gets a holiday overlay in Florida and Anaheim, becoming the ''Jingle Cruise''; with Christmas-themed scenery and jokes being added in.
* DarkestAfrica: The ride's destinations include the Congo and Nile River, both of which seem to contain nothing but utter chaos, with imminent threats including ferocious hippos, restless headhunters, as well as gorillas and rhinos that have caused much trouble for a fellow safari party.
* DeadpanSnarker: Every boat ride operator is this by design. Most of the fun of the ride comes not from the animatronics or the jungle atmosphere, but from the boat's operator.
-->Now if you look off to your left, way out in the distance there, you will see absolutely nothing.
* DependingOnTheWriter: The jokes in the attraction tend to be changed out frequently, so some of the tropes you see here may not be present in the version of the ride you experience.
* DivineConflict: Hong Kong's version ends with a battle between a fire god and a water god.
* ElementalRivalry: As mentioned above, Hong Kong has a fire god and a water god that are both against each other.
* ElementalRockPaperScissors: The fire god ends up being easily defeated by the water god when it extinguishes its flames.
* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: Among the many animals featured in the ride are baboons, as well as gorillas that are shown ransacking a camp site.
* ExactWords: When the skipper tries to "point out" their favorite plants to the guests.
-->I'd like to take this time to point out some of my favorite plants. ''(points at one plant)'' That one. ''(points at another plant)'' That one. ''(points at a third plant)'' That one. Any questions?
* {{Flanderization}}: When the ride first opened, it was actually pretty straightforward and serious, but when puns were brought into the attraction in 1962, it over time became more and more comedic in tone.
* GetOut: A potential thing that the skipper might say when the guests are disembarking.
-->Well we've laughed and we've cried. We've almost died! I love you like family. Now get out! I'm sorry, that was rude. ''Please'' get out.
* GiantSpider: Several giant spiders appear in the temple ruins, attached to an also-giant web.
* HalloweenSpecial: In 2015, Hong Kong received a special Halloween-themed overlay of the ride, called ''Jungle River Cruise - Curse of the Emerald Trinity''.
* HungryJungle: The locations featured in the ride seem to contain one danger after another, including ferocious tigers, snakes, headhunters, and piranhas.
* HurricaneOfPuns: Occurs in so, so many scenes; one example being when the skipper talks about a crocodile that they named.
-->I see some of you have met my good friend, Ginger. Careful, though: Ginger snaps. She is one tough cookie...I know, I know, it's a crumby joke, but I milk it for all I can.
* ILied: In Disneyland's version, the skipper assures the riders that they would never lead the guests into any danger, but upon seeing the gorilla-ravaged campsite, they simply state, "...I lied."
* InASingleBound: In Disneyland's version, the skipper claims that the Bengal tiger can do this.
-->Don't make any sudden moves! That's a Bengal tiger on the left! The Bengal tiger has been known to leap over 20 feet in one jump. But don't worry, we're only 15 feet away. He'll jump right over us!
* ImAHumanitarian: One of the locations the skipper advertises is "Shrunken Ned's Cannibal Cafe", mentioning its slogan as being, "Finding new and innovative ways to [[ExactWords serve you]]."
* KillerGorilla: At the exit of Magic Kingdom's version of the ride, there's a cage that's labeled "DANGER: Wild Orangutan. KEEP AWAY", and it just so happens that the cage has been broken apart.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: One of the potential skipper remarks in the hippo herd scene:
-->I haven't seen a gathering like that for at least...10 minutes.
* LongRunner: The ride's been around for over 60 years and still going strong.
* LuredIntoATrap: Upon entering the headhunter territory, the skipper realizes that the boat is about to be ambushed and tells everyone to get down.
* NoseNuggets: When discussing the elephants:
-->How many of you think that's water coming out of the Elephant's trunk? Well it's snot.
* NothingButSkulls: The Headhunter territory naturally contains several piles of skulls.
* ObnoxiousInLaws: The skipper will sometimes claim that the ransacking gorillas are actually their visiting in-laws.
* PiranhaProblem: Anaheim and Hong Kong's versions have a scene involving a pack of piranhas attempting to attack the boat.
* {{Pirate}}: Hong Kong temporarily had some scenes involving pirates added into the ride for an event in 2007.
* PottyDance: Occasionally, the skipper will say that the reason why the headhunters are dancing so strangely is because they lost the keys to the bathroom.
* PunctuatedForEmphasis: When the boat comes across Schweitzer Falls:
-->And now, the moment you've all been waiting for, the eighth wonder of the world: It's the BACK. SIDE. OF. WATER!!!
* PantyThief: The ravaged camp site scene in Hong Kong's version shows a gorilla stealing a pair of undergarments.
* PungeonMaster: The skippers are this, if you haven't figured that out already.
* RuinsForRuinsSake: All versions of the attraction feature ancient ruins that have no backstory behind them.
* SelfDeprecation: The skippers will often make jokes at the expense of themselves.
-->Don't worry folks, I'll scare these hippos off the same way I scared off my girlfriend. ''(beat)'' I LOVE YOU! DON'T LEAVE ME!
* ShoutOut:
** In Tokyo's version, "[[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing The Circle of Life]]" song plays during the Africa scene.
** The skippers will often reference other Disney works.
-->If you had a good time, my name is Skipper (name) and this has been the world famous Jungle Cruise. And if you had a lousy time...then my name is [[Disney/{{Frozen}} Queen Elsa and you should just let it go]].
* ShrunkenHead: The ride ends with an encounter with Trader Sam, a shrunken head salesman.
-->This is Trader Sam - he's our head salesman here in the Jungle. Business has been really shrinking lately due to some large overhead but there's a special deal going on--two of his heads for one of yours. Any way you slice it or dice it, he comes out ahead. Ya know how Trader Sam lives? One step ahead of the next guy. I was actually invited over to his house one evening for dinner (his wife makes a pretty good stew), but I got there a little late so all he gave me was the cold shoulder. ''(beat)'' Seriously, I just told you 10 puns in a row trying to make you guys laugh, but no pun in ten did.
* ThisWayToCertainDeath: In Disneyland's version, the boat passes by a series of animal skeletons lying by the water, suggesting something bad is up ahead. Shortly after, the culprits are revealed: a huge pack of piranhas.
* UpdatedReRelease:
** Disneyland's version has received a ''countless'' number of updates since its inception.
** Tokyo Disneyland's version was revamped in 2015 to add in several new elements, most notably an enhanced temple sequence.
* WaterfallShower: One of the elephants is shown taking a shower by using a waterfall.
* WitchDoctor: Trader Sam, as mentioned above.

* '''Tokyo Disneyland''': Known as ''Jungle Cruise: Wildlife Expeditions'', the ride is very similar to Magic Kingdom's version, although it received some upgrades in 2015 that added in new lighting effects, music, and a sub-plot involving "animal spirits" that are summoned via three amulets on the boat. It opened on April 15th, 1983.
* '''Hong Kong Disneyland''': Known as ''Jungle River Cruise'', the ride is located on the park's Adventureland-equivalent of the Rivers of America, encircling ''Tarzan's Treehouse'' instead of ''Tom Sawyer's Island''.

->''Wave goodbye to all those people on the dock.... 'cause you may never see 'em again. Of course, you've never seen 'em before, so you aren't gonna miss anything.''
!!Tropes shown in ''Jungle Cruise'' include:
* TheAmazon: Among the many locations traveled to in the ride is the Amazon river, which includes some ever-so lovely encounters with piranhas and a boa constrictor.
* ApocalypticLog: One of the radio transmissions in the queue has a skipper warning the dockmasters about the natives attacking passing boats, cracking in and out before being lost in static.
* BaitAndSwitch: A frequent gag in the ride; a notable one being:
-->Over there is Schweitzer Falls, named after the famous explorer, Dr. Falls.
* BigCreepyCrawlies: The first scene in the attraction features over-sized butterflies, though they're more beautiful than creepy.
* BitingTheHandHumor: Some of the skippers will occasionally poke fun at several aspects of the parks.
-->Off to the right of the boat, you can see what we call the ''Indiana Jones Adventure and the Temple of the Four-Hour Line''.
* BlackComedy: There's plenty of jokes about cannibalism and death altogether in the attraction, among other things.
* {{Bowdlerise}}: In the hippo scene, the skipper used to fire their gun at the hippos, but this was later changed to them instead firing their gun into the air in order to scare them off.
* CannibalTribe: The headhunter tribe, who even attempt to make a meal out the guests at one point.
* CaptainObvious: Another recurring joke that the skippers will do. For instance, Disneyland's version starts with the skipper pointing out the first sign of danger: A "Danger" sign.
* ChildHater: Certain skippers don't seem to be overly fond of children.
-->Watch your step, and please don't step on small children indiscriminately. Pick the one you want and make sure you get him!
* ChristmasSpecial: From November to January, the ride gets a holiday overlay in Florida and Anaheim, becoming the ''Jingle Cruise''; with Christmas-themed scenery and jokes being added in.
* DarkestAfrica: The ride's destinations include the Congo and Nile River, both of which seem to contain nothing but utter chaos, with imminent threats including ferocious hippos, restless headhunters, as well as gorillas and rhinos that have caused much trouble for a fellow safari party.
* DeadpanSnarker: Every boat ride operator is this by design. Most of the fun of the ride comes not from the animatronics or the jungle atmosphere, but from the boat's operator.
-->Now if you look off to your left, way out in the distance there, you will see absolutely nothing.
* DependingOnTheWriter: The jokes in the attraction tend to be changed out frequently, so some of the tropes you see here may not be present in the version of the ride you experience.
* DivineConflict: Hong Kong's version ends with a battle between a fire god and a water god.
* ElementalRivalry: As mentioned above, Hong Kong has a fire god and a water god that are both against each other.
* ElementalRockPaperScissors: The fire god ends up being easily defeated by the water god when it extinguishes its flames.
* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: Among the many animals featured in the ride are baboons, as well as gorillas that are shown ransacking a camp site.
* ExactWords: When the skipper tries to "point out" their favorite plants to the guests.
-->I'd like to take this time to point out some of my favorite plants. ''(points at one plant)'' That one. ''(points at another plant)'' That one. ''(points at a third plant)'' That one. Any questions?
* {{Flanderization}}: When the ride first opened, it was actually pretty straightforward and serious, but when puns were brought into the attraction in 1962, it over time became more and more comedic in tone.
* GetOut: A potential thing that the skipper might say when the guests are disembarking.
-->Well we've laughed and we've cried. We've almost died! I love you like family. Now get out! I'm sorry, that was rude. ''Please'' get out.
* GiantSpider: Several giant spiders appear in the temple ruins, attached to an also-giant web.
* HalloweenSpecial: In 2015, Hong Kong received a special Halloween-themed overlay of the ride, called ''Jungle River Cruise - Curse of the Emerald Trinity''.
* HungryJungle: The locations featured in the ride seem to contain one danger after another, including ferocious tigers, snakes, headhunters, and piranhas.
* HurricaneOfPuns: Occurs in so, so many scenes; one example being when the skipper talks about a crocodile that they named.
-->I see some of you have met my good friend, Ginger. Careful, though: Ginger snaps. She is one tough cookie...I know, I know, it's a crumby joke, but I milk it for all I can.
* ILied: In Disneyland's version, the skipper assures the riders that they would never lead the guests into any danger, but upon seeing the gorilla-ravaged campsite, they simply state, "...I lied."
* InASingleBound: In Disneyland's version, the skipper claims that the Bengal tiger can do this.
-->Don't make any sudden moves! That's a Bengal tiger on the left! The Bengal tiger has been known to leap over 20 feet in one jump. But don't worry, we're only 15 feet away. He'll jump right over us!
* ImAHumanitarian: One of the locations the skipper advertises is "Shrunken Ned's Cannibal Cafe", mentioning its slogan as being, "Finding new and innovative ways to [[ExactWords serve you]]."
* KillerGorilla: At the exit of Magic Kingdom's version of the ride, there's a cage that's labeled "DANGER: Wild Orangutan. KEEP AWAY", and it just so happens that the cage has been broken apart.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: One of the potential skipper remarks in the hippo herd scene:
-->I haven't seen a gathering like that for at least...10 minutes.
* LongRunner: The ride's been around for over 60 years and still going strong.
* LuredIntoATrap: Upon entering the headhunter territory, the skipper realizes that the boat is about to be ambushed and tells everyone to get down.
* NoseNuggets: When discussing the elephants:
-->How many of you think that's water coming out of the Elephant's trunk? Well it's snot.
* NothingButSkulls: The Headhunter territory naturally contains several piles of skulls.
* ObnoxiousInLaws: The skipper will sometimes claim that the ransacking gorillas are actually their visiting in-laws.

* {{Pirate}}: Hong Kong temporarily had some scenes involving pirates added into the ride for an event in 2007.
* PottyDance: Occasionally, the skipper will say that the reason why the headhunters are dancing so strangely is because they lost the keys to the bathroom.

-->And now, the moment you've all been waiting for, the eighth wonder of the world: It's the BACK. SIDE. OF. WATER!!!
* PantyThief: The ravaged camp site scene in Hong Kong's version shows a gorilla stealing a pair of undergarments.
* PungeonMaster: The skippers are this, if you haven't figured that out already.
* RuinsForRuinsSake: All versions of the attraction feature ancient ruins that have no backstory behind them.
* SelfDeprecation: The skippers will often make jokes at the expense of themselves.
-->Don't worry folks, I'll scare these hippos off the same way I scared off my girlfriend. ''(beat)'' I LOVE YOU! DON'T LEAVE ME!
* ShoutOut:
** In Tokyo's version, "[[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing The Circle of Life]]" song plays during the Africa scene.
** The skippers will often reference other Disney works.
-->If you had a good time, my name is Skipper (name) and this has been the world famous Jungle Cruise. And if you had a lousy time...then my name is [[Disney/{{Frozen}} Queen Elsa and you should just let it go]].
* ShrunkenHead: The ride ends with an encounter with Trader Sam, a shrunken head salesman.
-->This is Trader Sam - he's our head salesman here in the Jungle. Business has been really shrinking lately due to some large overhead but there's a special deal going on--two of his heads for one of yours. Any way you slice it or dice it, he comes out ahead. Ya know how Trader Sam lives? One step ahead of the next guy. I was actually invited over to his house one evening for dinner (his wife makes a pretty good stew), but I got there a little late so all he gave me was the cold shoulder. ''(beat)'' Seriously, I just told you 10 puns in a row trying to make you guys laugh, but no pun in ten did.
* ThisWayToCertainDeath: In Disneyland's version, the boat passes by a series of animal skeletons lying by the water, suggesting something bad is up ahead. Shortly after, the culprits are revealed: a huge pack of piranhas.
* UpdatedReRelease:
** Disneyland's version has received a ''countless'' number of updates since its inception.
** Tokyo Disneyland's version was revamped in 2015 to add in several new elements, most notably an enhanced temple sequence.
* WaterfallShower: One of the elephants is shown taking a shower by using a waterfall.
* WitchDoctor: Trader Sam, as mentioned above.
