It's a Skipper thing....
Jungle on both sides of the country has always had an unique culture from the rest of Attractions. It's a bit hard to explain, particularly to non-Cast Members, but the easiest way might be just to say that they're the "black sheep" of the Department
. They have a very strong internal culture and sense of camaderie, past the point you find on other Attractions.
For example, here in California,
"Skipper Stand Up", a comedy show comprised of current and former DLR Jungle Cruise skippers telling jokes that almost certainly don't pass Disney Muster (which are the ones you know they just want to tell to a boatload full of people, lol), is a fairly popular local event among both CMs and non-CMs alike.
However, don't get me wrong, telling non-OG jokes is a violation of Company Policy, and can get a Cast Member in oodles of trouble if they were to be caught.....which is why Jungle Cruise CMs don't get caught, and have a hell of a time doing so
.
The
Operating Guide spells out the standard operating procedure for a role within Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. All roles and locations have one, but Attractions OGs tends to get the most attention.
And this leads into the number one rule for working any Attraction....
(unless you're Jungle...
)
