Disney Confirms Jungle Cruise Changes Won’t Incorporate 2021 Film

We previously shared the news that Disney has announced changes are coming to the beloved, classic attraction – Jungle Cruise, at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland. One big question right off the bat from many Disney fans is if the changes would incorporate the new live-action Jungle Cruise film arriving this year. Disney has confirmed this is not the case, as shared below.

D23 sat down with Walt Disney Imagineering Creative Portfolio Executive Chris Beatty who had the following to share:

“I’m excited about the movie, and having Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt be a part of that film. But these adjustments are really focused on enhancing the existing attraction storyline and addressing some areas that needed refreshing along the way. I’m sure the film is fantastic and we’re very excited about it, but integrating the film into our classic Jungle Cruise is not part of this effort. Does that mean that as Imagineers we won’t put Easter eggs in there? We’ll definitely do that. But we are not adding a major storyline or character from that film.”
