CMs Please - Jungle Cruise Opens at 9 or 10?

[PolyHereWeCome]

Jungle Cruise open times are all the over the map on these threads. So am looking for a knowledgeable person -- CM or Peak season freq. traveler -- to answer this:

When does Jungle Cruise open on a non-early morning day during Easter/Spring Break/Peak time? If the park opens at 9 on the day we're going, will Jungle Cruise be open at 9? Or 10?

Does it vary by season? Other than Toontown, anything else open late/10 AM (when opening is 9 AM) during 3/22-3/28?

THANK YOU!!!

Hi!

When I went over spring break 2 years ago, we went over to the Jungle Cruise area at 9am sharp. We were surprised to find it was not open yet, so we went on a few rides first (I think Pirates of the Carib. and others) and came back.

It seemed quiet around that area of the park at the opening (I think everyone runs to Thunder Mountain or Space Mountain first), so I wouldn't be surprised if the Jungle Cruise always opened a little later. It was actually really nice being in that area of the park when it was quiet...a little more magical. This was just our experience, so it may be different these days. Hope that helps!

We were there recently, Jan. 15-23. During our stay we went to MK 4 mornings. Every morning we were there, whether it was early morning or a normal openning, the jungle cruise openned at 10:00AM. Whether that schedule changes during a busy time, like Easter week, I don't know, but is a possibility.

Whenever I have been there in the past year.. peak and non peak times.. all of adventureland opened at 10 am. Every day... When I went on the Keys to the Kingdom tour.. the guide explained the logic behind that... and I quote... Most of the guests to the magic kingdom tend to start to the right.. actually most people tend to go to the right in alot of situations... so.. what would happen is.. Most guests would head on over to Tomorrowland.. with a spillover into Fantasyland... and then the diehard thrill seekers straight to Splash & Big Thunder... by the time all of these people would journey through the park it would usually be close to 10 before the majority of people would hit Adventureland..so.. they decided to have a late opening for that portion of the park... Money saving decision... so.. there you have it... whether that will be the forever case.. who knows.. things change so often but history for the past 12 months has shown them to stick to this plan.
