Had a great time on the Jingle Cruise

Have a FP+ for it late evening 11/29. Should be fun at night. It's the one ride where the right combination of skipper and passengers can make or break it. The last time I did it at night everyone was finishing the skipper's lines, they were laughing and just having a ball. I was in a sour mood that evening for personal reasons and this ride just took me right out of that.

It was cool too because it seemed like 85% of the jokes were Christmas themed and were new to us.

Got to ride it for the first time Friday 11/7 morning and my wife, kids, and I loved it. We found the decorations to be really cool and loved the new jokes. Not sure if it was different than last year but definitely seemed more than a minor overlay.

Glad to hear it was better this year. It was almost a case of spot the difference last year - very minor changes that I would guess went mostly unnoticed.

Haven't been on it, but saw a great YouTube POV from Inside the Magic. It obviously was a great combo of a fun and enthusiastic skipper (probably because yay! New jokes!) and a very enthusiastic boatload of guests. It's not just the queue this year that has been Christmas-ified, but also some of the animatronics and scenery on-ride.

I just wish I could see it for myself!

If you want to know what a holiday overlay is go to Disneyland. I am not complaining simply statING the low cost almost nothing nature of this overlay that would never be done if it cost any coin.

Okay, if you say so. By the way, how's that plot to ruin Whoville coming?

Not debating the east coast/west coast thing, but seriously, are you still complaining?

Glad to hear this is back and that it has been improved over last year :) I know it's only a small overlay but it better than no overlay at all. When it comes to seasonal overlays MK always gets shafted for understandable reasons however I think it is great we at least get one.

I know Haunted Mansion Holiday is not plausible without closing for a month as it is very elaborate however I would like to see a variation of It's a Small World Holiday come over since I'm sure it wouldn't take that much time to change the soundtrack and string up some lights and decorations and change a few dolls in to festive costumes, even if it was just the queue line and finale scene that was done. Every Disneyland has the Holiday version except Magic Kingdom which is unfortunate.
