Trader Sam has a great deal today: two of his photos for one of yours. Post them here.

When I visited Disneyland in 2016, the Jungle Cruise was one of a long list of attractions that were down either for refurbishment or due to Star Wars Land construction. In this case, the dock was being outfitted with some safety improvements, and the grand re-opening was only a couple of weeks away. In the meantime, the skippers did what they do best, entertain the guests. Several times each day they re-enacted the cruise using props and the jokes we all know and love. Known as The World Famous Jungle Cruise Virtual Land Bote Cruise Tour of Imagination Extravaganza, it featured scenes such as this one, where the lions are "standing guard" over a "sleeping" zebra.


Why Can't We Be Friends?

On my 2017 visit, the Jungle Navigation Company had resumed normal operations. Sadly, not everyone was happy about that.

Trader Sam is open for business as usual at his original location.

If you have to climb a tree trunk on short notice, don't weigh yourself down with heavy headgear. Wear a fez.


Fezzes Are Cool

A tiger and some crocodiles. This looks like a friendly neighborhood.


He's a Jumper

It's a dance party, complete with horns.


You, On the Left, You Missed Your Cue

If there's a party, you can bet Wayne and Garth will show up.


Party On!

stepping back a bit, i don't remember if this is a static scene or if these crocodiles had animatronic movement as these are more upright in the head area

Things along the river are just like they are in suburbia: you put your garbage out the night before, in case the garbage pickup comes by while you're still in bed.


Leftovers

When it rains in the jungle, life goes on.


Rainy Day Fun

Does the elephant version of Pinocchio involve his trunk getting shorter with each lie?


Don't Believe the Crocodile, Dear

The river feeding Schweitzer Falls is a bit on the anemic side.


Schweitzer's Back Side

You have to fly pretty high to see into the elephant's eye. (That's because it's on the roof of the Tropical Imports building, used for stroller parking next to the Jungle Cruise.)


What Am I Doing Up Here?

 

[ddindy]

Trader Sam has been studying hypnotism at night. You really want a shunken head, don't you?


Look Deep Into My Eyes

Come on, tear into that zebra. We're hungry!
