Jungle Cruise Medley



Now that I have positive proof that Amazon Belle is still alive and kicking, I am going to post a few from the Jungle Cruise today. The first pic is a little shack near the loading area of the ride from April 1958.



This shot shows the Suwannee Lady parked, while the skipper waits for the next functioning boat, April 1960.



And if looking at snakes/pythons gives you nightmares, WHOA! Don’t look at this one! (April 1958)



A nice April 1958 view of Schweitzer Falls.



What Jungle Cruise collection would be complete without a few hungry/blurry natives(also April 1958)?!?

See more vintage and contemporary Disneyland Jungle Cruise photos at my main website.

"functing"? Is that a "bad" word?? ;-)

The hat on the Jungle Cruise skipper looks like it is pinned with one of the original brass numbered name badges. Very nice shots.

Castmember: "Why is that functing boat taking so long to get here?!"

I SO would want to live in a real life version of that first photo - the hut in the jungle - if it weren't for the constant flies and mosquitos, the unbearable humidity, the poisonous snakes and spiders and the pirahna and alligators. Other than that, I would SO live there.
