As part of Tokyo Disneyland's 25th Anniversary, 2 skippers from each of the Jungle Cruise attraction from all the Disney theme parks get to represent their home theme parks for a few days at Tokyo Disneyland. This is so cool!
Cast members Beth Schafer and Alex Williams represented the Magic Kingdom this month at a global gathering of skippers as part of Tokyo Disney's 25th anniversary celebration. In Japan, Jungle Cruise is extremely popular, Schafer said.
"To them, it has this weird almost cult-classic following," she said. "When they heard that Jungle Cruise skippers from around the world were coming — and we were billed as the best from around the world — they just thought it was the greatest thing."
The enthusiastic response included autograph requests and long lines forming for rides.
It would be interesting to see how they overcome the language and cultural barrier because I can easily that the Japanese may not get the point of some of the puns. Still, with all the wonderful skippers from all around the world, I'd say everyone will come out ahead.
