Walt Disney had originally wanted real animals in the Jungle Cruise attraction, but quickly realized that they might often be asleep or hiding away where guests wouldn't be able to see them.
 
The lush jungle foliage was designed by landscape architect Bill Evans, who carefully selected a variety of plants that would be hardy enough to withstand the Florida climate (most importantly its relatively cool winters), while maintaining the look and feel of a tropical equatorial jungle.
 
Rumor has it that Disney is filming a Jungle Cruise film in the tradition of Pirates of the Caribbean, The Haunted Mansion and The Tower of Terror movies.
 
There are 16 boats in all, each named for an Imagineer that worked on the original attraction:
Amazon Annie
Bomokandi Bertha
Congo Connie
Ganges Gertie
Irrawaddy Irma
Kwango Kate
Mongala Millie
Nile Nelly
Orinoco Ida
Rutshuru Ruby
Sankuru Sadie
Senegal Sal
Ucyali Lolly
Volta Val
Wamba Wanda
Zambesi Zelda
 

Here are some of the jokes you might hear on your journey:

"Here in the rain forest it sometimes rains 365 days per year...some years it even rains every day."

"And look at all the elephants out here today! If you want to take pictures go ahead—all the elephants have their trunks on."

"Over there is Schweitzer Falls, named after the famous Dr. Albert [pause] Falls."

"There's old Trader Sam, head salesman of the area. Business has been shrinking lately, so this week only, Sam's offering a two-for-one special: two of his, for one of yours!"

Groan...!
