New Disney Jungle Cruise? Disney is adding new components to the Jungle Cruise. The iconic water ride has been around for years, Walt Disney years. Originally Walt Disney wanted to use real animals. However, real animals are unpredictable so that idea was scrapped. After many years, both Jungle Cruises at Walt Disney World and Disneyland are getting spruced up.

A favorite watering hold, Pecos Bill will also be getting some type of refurbishment. Disney submitted for permit this week looking to do some “General” updates. Lighting, floors, paint? We can’t wait to see.

Good-bye to another favorite kids activity at the Magic Kingdom, Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom. This interactive card that had both kids and adults throwing cards to defeat villainous characters has been permanently put away. We are hoping that you can still purchase the cards on Main Street. However, over in Animal Kingdom they are bringing back the Lion King show!

Nintendo World in Japan will have a Super Mario Brother Cart type of ride. We hear it is super interactive. Velocicoaster at Universal Orlando officially had human riders this week. We are hoping this means that they will open the ride before the projected summer date.
