You go in the boat. Boat goes in the water. Animatronic hippos in the water. Our hippos

I didn't even think the water was that deep then I remember some of the animals like the hippos are practically underwater.

I mean just by looking at some of the pictures, if you didn't know any better you would think it was part of the ride like the animatronics that are climbed up on the pole

Hope everyone is alright. But I'm sure that the Jungle Cruise sinking on a Disney property is less dangerous than crossing the street in a gated community with no cars. So I'm sure everyone is OK.

Personally, the thing that would wig me out the most is having to get into the water with those fucking hippos. Even if they are fake.

"And now for an in depth look at water. About 2 feet in depth."

"For the first time ever, guests can experience our new "The Ron Miller Years" ride."

"Here's a sneak peek at our not-yet-announced Namor movie!"

People laugh at this but AK Fastpass options are slim pickings if the Avatar rides and other big ones aren't available. Saturday only has 4 experiences left for Fastpass, so RIP anyone getting them now.

Well that's wild. I wonder what Disney gave everyone on the ride for their trouble.

I'm guessing free tickets.

We got free tickets and a ton of 'anytime' fast passes, because the park we were at, many of their attractions broke down and the wife told them our children were disappointed.

The CMs at City Hall will definitely try and make things right.

I don't think the standard front of the line passes are gonna cut it since you know people were walking around with wet shoes/socks all day. I hope they got to ride Rise of the Resistance in Hollwyood Studios or free sip and savor passes at the Food and Wine Festival or something

Edit: Ah right, they do that festival at a different time in Orlando
