Photo and Story by BruceWDW
Of all the articles I’ve written for A World View, this is the most… recent.
It would be safe to say that every visitor to Walt Disney World has taken the Jungle Cruise, and probably all of these visitors have returned from their adventure. Me, I've been on the Jungle Cruise a many times, enjoying it more each trip. Of course, we generally hear the same Jungle Cruise Captain script each time, but some Captains are just a little better than others, including an occasional ad-lib which makes the repeat trip worthwhile.
Those of you adventurers entering the world-famous Jungle Cruise, please notice there are two lines,
one on the right and the other on the left. If you'd like to keep your family together, please stay in the same line.
However, if there is someone in your family you'd like to get rid of, just put them in the opposite line and you'll never see them again.
The Jungle Cruise is also one of these attractions with a queue area chock full of entertaining displays, puns and play on words. The walk through to your voyage is worth the attraction all by itself. It’s important to ride the Jungle Cruise every trip to Walt Disney World. There is so much to see in the queue area and to listen closely to on the attraction itself; you won’t get it all with just one ride.
Before I came to the Jungle, I worked in an orange juice factory,
but I got canned because I couldn't concentrate. My boss almost beat the pulp out of me.
We're not out of danger yet- this is headhunter territory.
Remove your jewelry please. The natives have been complaining of indigestion.
GUEST POST - Growing Up Disney
A new feature of ENTER TODAY are links to a story personally selected by a guest Disney fan blogger. This article was written by Cara Goldsbury, the author of The Luxury Guide to Walt Disney World® Resort: How to Get the Most Out of the Best Disney Has to Offer. Visit her at www.wdwluxuryguide.com.
Snack Time at Walt Disney World
Snacks at Walt Disney World are a nice taste treat for some and an obsession for others. Here are some of my favorites:
Magic Kingdom: Aloha Isle (Adventureland). Dole Whip is the claim to fame at Aloha Isle, and I’ll guarantee you’ll love this soft-serve pineapple frozen treat. You can even order it in a Coke or root beer float. I do warn you - it's addictive!
Main Street Bake Shop (Main Street, Magic Kingdom): It’s difficult to ignore this sweet shop on Main Street loaded with all kinds of goodies the likes of Snickers cheesecake, giant bear claws, huge hot cinnamon rolls oozing with frosting, giant-size Rice Krispie treats, lovely fruit tarts, and much, much more. Stop in just to stare. [CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE]

About the Author:
I think watching a True-Life Adventure called The Living Desert started my enthusiastic love of Disney; I must have seen this film every year I was in elementary school. Of course there was the original Mickey Mouse Club which encouraged me to watch Walt Disney Presents (and its successors). Then the 1964-65 World's Fair introduced me to many new and future technologies (Wow, I can actually see people on the telephone!); but mostly it was the awe and imagination that Walt Disney infused into that exposition which started me on my present path. Much of my life's enjoyment has revolved to a great degree around the imagination and creations of Walt Disney, and to enjoy the work of those who he inspired. So where else would Mary Ann and I go on our honeymoon but Walt Disney World two years after it first opened, and the adult love story began (both my marriage and Disney devotions). Skip ahead to today, and I'm writing blogs and posting information for the world to act upon (particularly contests) and use (like the trip planning information in A World View). Two children and four grandchildren later, we still look forward to a Walt Disney World vacation, of course with family, but also just the two us absorbing and enjoying the most magical place on earth.
Again, good luck and have a magical day.
