craft and explore the

Adventureland. Keep your

When Disneyland was on
the drawing board Walt
Disney wanted a jungle
within his park, which
was inspired by the
successful Disney
television series, A
True-Life Adventures.
Walt originally wanted
live animals to roam
about, grazing and
frolicking about, but he
soon discovered that
real animals sleep
during the day and
couldn't be relied on to
perform around guests.
So he enlisted the help
of Bob Mattey and Bob
Gurr and was able to
create animatronic
animals.
Join us as we journey
through the history of
the Jungle Cruise and
discover its many
secrets. We'll explore
the depths of the
jungle, learning the
history as narrated by
Bryan Simmons, with an
original musical score
by Markus Covello. We'll
travel around the globe
to the various Disney
parks comparing the
jungle attraction.
This spectacular 60
minute documentary
includes a rare
interview with Disney
Imagineer, Bob Gurr, and
has a bonus track
featuring the talented
comedian, Jason Hammond,
from the Skipper Stand
Up Show.
All aboard for some
adventurous fun.
