Magic Kingdom’s Jingle Cruise is currently scheduled to operate through Jan. 4, 2027, according to the Walt Disney World operating calendar. The traditional Jungle Cruise is set to return to Adventureland on Tuesday, Jan. 5.
The seasonal overlay is due back on Nov. 3, 2026, giving visitors about nine weeks to experience the holiday version of the riverboat attraction. Guests planning Walt Disney World tickets during that period will find festive decor and seasonal changes aboard the ride.
For Jingle Cruise, skippers decorate the attraction with jungle vines, makeshift ornaments and misplaced gifts. Boats receive holiday-themed names, and the usual pun-heavy narration is adapted with Christmas-season jokes.
Jingle Cruise has been a Magic Kingdom holiday tradition since 2013. Its final operating day changes by season: the prior edition ended Jan. 1, 2026, with regular Jungle Cruise returning the following day.
