Jingle Cruise: a Better and Funnier Voyage in 2014

Thank you for sharing! We are looking forward to riding it :)
 
I have gone on the Jingle Cruise three times already and I love it. Some of the other reviews on here and on MiceChat have been critical, but I feel the gags are funny and fit well with the spirit of Jungle Cruise.
 

Looks like they added more stuff this year! Thanks for sharing, I will have to ride this ride this year.

Kriss :santa:

That doesn't mean much (re MC) some of them will whine about anything over there. :rolleyes:

Anybody got video of the new Jingle Cruise!?:bitelip:
 
Thanks for posting the link Sherry E. That was a hoot!

You're welcome, IndianaScott! I remembered that Gisele had posted the link to that video within the last day or two, and it was easy to find.

I love the idea and look of the new version of Jingle Cruise, and I can't wait to see it in person! People complained when there were only very slight holiday touches added to the ride last year -- so slight, in fact, that the ride didn't even need to close down for those touches to be added in.

Now there will be some who complain, saying that the decorations are "too much," or "too tacky," or that "decorations don't belong in the jungle" or whatever.

The regular Jungle Cruise presents a certain scenario that is difficult to weave into a holiday context and vice versa, but I think that the Enhancement Team and Imagineers have done a great job with it so that it makes sense -- as much sense as it can make.

If the decorations were neatly and carefully hung from the trees with care, and perfectly manicured Christmas trees and wintry displays were set up at each scene along the river, it could look ridiculous. If there were suddenly snow in the jungle it might be a bit far-fetched.

However, the whole concept of Jingle Cruise is that the animals got into the supply of holiday goods, scattered them about and messed them up -- and it is hilarious! Was I seeing things, or is one of the animals wearing a furry boot on its head? I mean... that's funny! The cubs playing with the reindeer head -- I find that funny! I think the whole overlay is done with a type of offbeat, wacky humor that we don't get with the other 2 ride overlays at DLR during the season, and it's refreshing! Even the piranhas get in on the act!
 
So if I only have one shot to ride, should I do it in the day or night?

I will disagree and say NIGHT! Maybe dusk is the perfect in-between?? We just loved the lights so much. Either way, just ride it! (And SherryE, I totally agree with your assessment -- it's wacky and just plain FUN.)
 
How about a meeting of the minds and say dusk. ;) no really....

Yeah, I'm going to have to go with night also. It was so pretty with the lights on and I loved coming up to each new section of the ride without being able to see what is happening until the skipper puts the lights on it. It added an extra element of surprise :thumbsup2
 
I'll throw in another night vote :) We prefer even regular JC at night. With the xmas lights, definitely would go for the Jingle version at night.
