“As Imagineers, it is our responsibility to ensure experiences we create and stories we share reflect the voices and perspectives of the world around us,” Smith said in a statement. Imagineering Creative Development and Inclusion Strategies Executive Carmen Smith said the latest updates to the Jungle Cruise attractions will address how Trader Sam and other native people and their culture are represented in the classic boat ride. The updates to the Jungle Cruise rides follow changes to the Pirates of the Caribbean and an upcoming makeover of Splash Mountain intended to address outdated cultural depictions in Disney theme park attractions. Disneyland plans to move forward with work on the Jungle Cruise attraction while the park remains shut down during an extended coronavirus closure.ĭisneyland is unlikely to return to full operation until spring or summer under COVID-19 health and safety reopening guidelines issued by the state. The reimagined rides are expected to open later this year. Imagineering has not yet determined when work will begin on the Jungle Cruise attractions at Disneyland in Anaheim and the Magic Kingdom in Florida. “In this particular case, Imagineers created a storyline that builds upon what people love the most while addressing negative depictions simultaneously.” “Imagineers are constantly looking for opportunities to enhance experiences, and when it comes to updating classic attractions, they employ a very careful and thoughtful approach,” Disney officials said in a statement.
