Number of jokes you’ll hear on the cruise. OK, we’re exaggerating a bit, but the Jungle Cruise is well known for it’s punning, groan-inducing jokes. Perhaps the best known is the description of the famous Schweitzer Falls, names after that famous explorer, Dr……..Falls. Yep, you can still see the Falls today, followed by that equally famous sight, the Back Side of Water. And you may think that’s water in the elephant’s trunks, but I promise you, it’s snot. But your guide will share some useful information too, like how elephants have one of the best memories in the animal kingdom, a trait your guide wishes they had. Speaking of elephants, go ahead and take all the pictures you want, they all have their trunks on, 

1.75 Million 

Gallons of water that fill the rivers of the Jungle Cruise. That may send like a lot, but it’s less than a third of the amount of water in the Seas With Nemo & Friends aquarium.

Average depth, in feet, of the river. (By comparison, the rivers in the Disneyland version of the attraction average five feet in depth.)

Length, in feet, of the waterways of the Jungle Cruise. If it were stretched out in a straight line and placed at the front of the Walt Disney World Railroad Station, it would reach all the way back to Prince Charming’s Regal Carrousel.

Speed, in miles per hour, of the boats. Looking for a faster ride? You can head over to the Tomorrowland Speedway where the cars race along at nearly twice that speed!

Number of queues in the Hong Kong Disneyland version of the attraction. Each line features a different language: Cantonese, English, and Mandarin. This allows Guests to experience the attraction in their preferred language.

Year marked on a crate in the Jungle Cruise queue. The year is a reference to the birth year of Harper Goff, who was a key contributor to the planning of the Jungle Cruise and Main Street U.S.A. The crate reads “Goff’s Brand Crocodile Resistant Chest High Rubber Overpants, 1911 Main Street Fort Collins Colorado” (Fort Collins being Goff’s birthplace).

One more fact we’ll leave you with, did you know that elephants have one of the best memories in the animal kingdom? Boy, I wish I had a memory that good!
