    20 min wait right now. It's going pretty quickly. Still the same old boat ride where the driver cracks some jokes, classic.

    Jungle Cruise is an outdoor boat ride at the Adventureland area of Disneyland. It's a river expedition throughout the jungles of Asia, Africa, and South America. The animals featured are animatronics but look very realistic. Each ride can fit a lot of people on the large boat but there can still be long rides. It's not a very exciting ride but what makes the ride are the skippers who make pun-filled jokes throughout its entirety. Our tour guide Ella was great and I was just eating up all the dad jokes.

    The "back side of water" never gets old. The Jungle Cruise is another favorite of mine and a classic ride at Disneyland. The cast members and skippers who work this ride have a lot of fun staying in character. They really set the mood with the cringy, yet funny puns and "dad" jokes. The river adventure tour takes about 10 minutes, and it's a nice, chill ride. The animatronics and animals are always fun to see. This ride at night is another treat with the evening mood set and your senses heightened. During the holiday season, this ride gets a holiday overlay with festive decor throughout the jungle ride, aka Jingle Cruise. There are no single-rider lines, but there are Lightning Lane options. And as with most rides, the queue can get long, but it's definitely a must-ride for first-timers and jungle fans.

    Jungle Cruise is a classic and lovely if your skipper is into their jokes and folks are playing along. They have updated the ride over the years but the feel of it hasn't really changed. One of the rides we don't always do but if the lines are short and we have down time, we do end up taking a little cruise in the jungle. L O C A T I O N Jungle Cruise is located in Adventureland next to the Indiana Jones Ride. L I N E S The lines here can be short or atrociously long. So keep an eye out on the times on the Disneyland app. But it is a high capacity ride but it also takes a long time to board and off board folks. E X P E R I E N C E You get to go into the jungle...and go on a boat to take a cruise. You get to see all the animatronic animals and other sights. Every ride will be relatively different as the skipper (your tour guide) will be unique. They are trained to lead the ride with guidelines but they do have jokes that are solely theirs. Either way it's a nice covered outdoor ride where you just sit and leisurely float. It's a nice little way to get off your feet and experience a ride that's a little longer than most. O V E R A L L If you've never done the Jungle Cruise, do it! It's a classic! Otherwise, it's not a must ride for me every time. And please be kind to your skipper and play along. It'll be more fun that way!

    I always enjoy this ride because of the skipper jokes! It's also another ride to rest and take a break from walking around Disney. I do love the scenery and all the props they have. It does look like you're in the jungle! Overall it's a relaxing and enjoyable ride with some jokes from the skipper!

    This was a special ride for me to see my grandsons enjoy cruising through the Jungle and experiencing what I have over 40 years ago. Although there was not as much joking around on the cruise, the children were amazed at the animals and were able to recognize all the animals and name them. I would recommend this ride for anyone who just wants a relaxing time before trying out the more rigorous rides in the park.

    The Baseline: For a theme park attraction, a quality experiences must be provided, the attraction must be fun and engaging, an immersive environment must be established, the queue line must be themed, and safety must be a top priority. Attraction: This is a classic ride in Disneyland that has been operating for 70 years (June 2025 for this review) and was open since day one. It is still fun even though I can expect the jokes, know what is coming around the next corner, and knowing that Dwayne Johnson isn't getting an animatronic like Jonny Depp got in Pirates of the Caribbean. After 70 years the jungle is lush and the animatronic animals are still going strong with their noises, splashes, inability to move from their spots in the wilds. It is still a great ride. Take a Jungle Cruise when you come to Disneyland. Queue: Wait times for Jungle Cruise can be bad at park busy days, but if it is over 30 minutes I would suggest waiting for a shorter wait time. The queue itself is fun and has a lot of picture opportunities. The theme is a 1930's jungle boat expedition with an explorer's society feel. Most of the queue will be shaded so it is nice in the summer though you may have to go up-n-down the stairs.

    This ride has always been a ride I rode on as a child and I still ride it with my family. It's one of the first rides I go on once I get to Disneyland. Some scenarios have changed over the years, however it's an awesome ride that takes in on a boat to see the wild....or at least you can imagine you are! Fun for the family!

    Michelle M.

    The most classic ride you must go on in Disneyland. Trust me, regardless of the changes they made to the evolution of the "politically correct" the ride is still always an adventure! (Rip head shrinking shaman) It's always a different ride to me due to which tour guide u get! You'll never know what they'll say which makes this one I make an effort to visit every chance I get. Best time to ride?? At night! Not much lines and u feel more like you're in the jungle

    Another day another cruise. Captain was ok but I appreciate the attempt with new material. Still a great cruise lol.

    A true classic that a must attraction. The cast members here are always top notch. The guides on the boat are always hilarious. Enjoyed this ride as a youngster and now it's pure nostalgic adoration. A must visit attraction.

    Love this ride!! The best part are the crew and their corny jokes. A lot of people are lame and don't laugh but man those corny jokes get to me every time hahahah it may be because I like jokes like those and use them myself but I love hearing them. Shoutout to the crew members!!! Until next time.

    Erick W.

    The ride is entertaining - the jokes are amazing! My kid quoting the ride operator from a recent visit: "we laughed together, we cried together, we almost died together." If you don't get the joke - you have to ride the ride. If that is not enough to lure you onto the DeNile River, then you must visit to see the 8th wonder of the world! Come on everybody - say it with me now... on the other side of the famous falls - we see the back side of....

I've driven by…read moreit many times and remembered going to Hobby City when it was at the same location (which has been closed for years). If you have kids, this is worth a visit and is affordable. Parking is free, and there are plenty of spaces when their isn't other events or services going on at the same location. My first visit was for a family kid's birthday party, and we were all pleasantly surprised. The party itself was organized well and had its own area inside one of the buildings. We had our own area decorated (you can bring your own decorations, too), and the food was fantastic for amusement park food. We had pizza, turkey sandwiches, chicken tenders, soda, and punch. We had about an hour for lunch before being released to enjoy the rest of the park. Many of the staff were kind during the party and throughout the park and made the experience that much nicer. The variety of rides here will please most young kids and adults. There are a couple of roller coasters, a carousel, a train that circles once around the park, and many more rides. I'm surprised how much they fit into the park space. There is also an arcade and a petting zoo. For food in the park, you have the standard burgers, pizza, tenders, pretzels, churros, ICEE, ice cream, and more. The prices aren't too bad either. Plenty of snacks and merch to purchase, too. There are also plenty of places to sit and relax, with shaded areas. Especially needed during a warm SoCal day. It was the first time for many guests in our party, and everyone enjoyed the experience. Many of the kids want to go back and have their birthday parties here next year, too.

It's a fun time, less crowded than Disneyland, much simpler than Disneyland, and a lot of fun! I've got three kids under the age of 12, and there's a lot for them to do in Camp Snoopy. There are some solid deals on food and drinks too, and while the meals are nothing to write home about for the most part, some other places have some really good portion sizes. Half-chicken meal at the Boardwalk is a good deal. Parking is a bit steep. I'm surprised that it was $40 even in the general parking lot. But the walk to the park is short, so I like the convenience (ahem, Disneyland). Is it as immersive as Disneyland? No. Is the app good? Not really. (lol for example it said the log ride wait was 15 minutes but actually it took an HOUR). Is the storytelling and music as good as Disney? Heck no. But it's a LOT of fun, the roller coasters slap (esp. Ghost Rider) and it's hecka cheaper, especially if you buy an annual pass. As I mentioned before, Camp Snoopy is brilliant for kids under the age of 10, and my 11-year-old still has some fun on the rides there. Highlights include the spinning swing rides, Sally's Big Swing, and the Snoopy Roller Coaster. The Wild West Ambience is on point. Bandits still rob your train mid-ride, and the live banjo music at the barbecue joint in Old Town was a nice touch! All in all, a solid good time. Went on a Monday in mid-August and the lines weren't too bad (except that log ride lol)

There have been a lot of updates since my last visit just last year. New eating space inside, additional cabanas, and the outdoor pool has also had some upgrades with new sun loungers. There's a lot to do and you can easily spend the entire day here, like we did, filled with fun family friendly activities for all ages. $40 each for a day pass, definitely worth the price for all you can do.

The not so great: Water park is dirty. Hairs all over the floor like chunks of hairs everywhere not just a strand here and there. I was disgusted walking around in my bare feet. Also, during our time someone pooped in the wave pool (like adult size). I get that this is not the hotel's fault but disgusting watching it being taken care of in a biohazard bag and the thought of: is this water recycling throughout the whole park? We left right after that (5pm) so I'm not sure when it was opened back up but I know It was back up and running the next morning. Also, we had a cabana rented. My husband thought it would be nice to be near the bathrooms, but the smell coming from the restroom was horrendous so we luckily were able to move to a new cabana. If it had been any busier, we would've had to stay there or hopefully get a refund. I agree with another review, asking for a dress code because there were some outfits that were extremely inappropriate for such a family and kid friendly establishment. It was so rude and uncomfortable for me and my children! Hotel is under construction as well so parts of both lobby areas are blocked off.
