D23 Gold Members are in for an exciting early morning adventure, as they will be among the first guests to experience the new enhancements to the world-famous Jungle Cruise at Disneyland Park on its official reopening day next week on July 16.
This opportunity has very limited capacity for D23 Gold Members, but D23.com will release a special “virtual edition” a few days after the event for all D23 Members to hear the inside story from Walt Disney Imagineering themselves.
The morning begins as D23 Gold Members enter the gates of Disneyland Park before the park opens to the general public. Upon arrival, they will be outfitted with their own skipper hat and VIP credential.
Adventurers will also enjoy treats like Loco Moco Bao, Sweet Lumpia, Dole Whip, Coffee, bottled juices, and water.
Next, the master of ceremonies, D23 Team Member (and former Jungle Cruise Skipper) Justin Arthur, will kick things off with a special panel of creative talent from Walt Disney Imagineering as they take guests on a deep dive into the history and re-imagining of the iconic attraction.
After, attendees will board their explorer launch as their skipper will take them down the rivers of adventure to be among the first on the official re-opening day to see all the new sights (and jokes) to be discovered.
In addition to a skipper hat and VIP credential, guests will be treated to a few other commemorative surprises as well.
