DLR/DCA - Jungle Cruise - Having Fun in the Jungle - 2020

This Open Edition pin, released in 2020 at the Disneyland Resort, celebrates the beloved Jungle Cruise attraction. The design features a classic Jungle Cruise Skipper at the helm of their boat, complete with the iconic striped awning and a hanging lantern, while a playful hippopotamus surfaces in the water below. The text at the top reads 'The World Famous Jungle Cruise' with the subtext 'Departing Daily Only in Adventureland,' and the bottom features the pun-filled slogan 'Having Fun in the Jungle!' The Jungle Cruise opened with Disneyland in 1955 and remains one of the park’s most iconic experiences, largely due to the humor and wit of the skippers. As part of the 'Having Fun in the Jungle' series, this pin captures the whimsical and adventurous spirit of the ride. The pin is rendered in a stylized, cartoonish aesthetic that highlights the fun-loving nature of the attraction's famous gags. Collectors value this piece for its charming portrayal of the ride's most recognizable elements, including the infamous hippo. Being an Open Edition pin, it was widely available upon its release, making it a great entry-level piece for those who love Adventureland memorabilia. Its bright, thematic design serves as a perfect tribute to one of Walt Disney's original opening-day attractions.
