My last post began a series of tours around the different Walt Disney World parks and today I am going to move to Andventureland.
Adventureland is home to some of the more iconic rides when you think about the Magic Kingdom. The Jungle Cruise & Pirates of the Caribbean are two rides that you will find in this area. When Walt Disney created the first Jungle Cruise in Disneyland he actually wanted it to be a serious ride. However when the tour guides started making jokes the ride gained popularity and now jokes are a common part of the ride. Also, staying with the jungle cruise the rumors are coming out that they will start making the Jungle Cruise movie starring The Rock this summer. For those of you who are Weird Al fans, I hope that the Rock's character is named Skipper Dan. (https://youtu.be/a0cCRRFi1aA)
Pirates of the Caribbean is just down from the Jungle Cruise. After the success of the movies, the ride actually closed down and remade to have Jack Sparrow characters look more like Johnny Depp.
For the kids, there are the Magic Carpets of Aladdin but be careful heading that way you'll need to keep an eye out for the spitting camel.
In terms of food, there are numerous quick service/counter service locations here.
Now just a couple of side notes about two pieces of Disney news that came out today. First, Black Panther is on track to be a record busting film. Current projections from boxofficemojo.com have the films weekend's gross coming in behind only the 2 Avengers films. It should easily become the highest grossing film in terms of opening weekends for the month of February. Later in the weekend, I will bring you more data on the film.
Also, I will speak more on this in later posts when I get to Hollywood Studios, but Disney announced that Toy Story Land will be opening on June 30, 2018.
