Jungle Cruise Sunrise Safari Breakfast Experience Coming to Disneyland Park

[Deleted member 107043]

I might find half price not so stupid, but it really depends on what else is involved and the description is so vague I can't imagine anyone going for this unless they add more details.

That's just it, there's nothing else to tell. It's basically a standard American breakfast on a make believe African veldt inside Disneyland at the crack of dawn. Even if it were half price and included park admission it would still be ridiculously overpriced and not worth it. At least for me. Whenever Disney does these kinds of promotions (24 Hour Party! One More Disney Day!) it just reeks of greediness.

Wait, is this what they're doing with the Tahitian Terrace?

If it were half the price and included park admission, which is 90-something dollars per day, I would probably do it. That would put it at around $60, which is pretty in line with the cost of most of the extra experiences you can do, and it would be kind of cool to eat in the ride. It is crazy early though!

Right?! You'll be eating breakfast in the dark.

Ooh! That could be cool if you get lanterns or something, especially if they are like old-school lanterns they would have taken on safaris back when. I honestly would still not want to get up that early on vacation just for breakfast, and it would be almost impossible to convince my teenage children to get up that early on a non-school day. They really should include admission and let the people who do it stay in the park. It might be worth getting up that early if you get to play in a nearly empty Disneyland afterwards.

The reason for the high price tag is because of the fact that Guests get to pilot there own boat and role play as a Skipper.
If you take a look at the recent Disney Parks Blog entry, it specifically notes this being a part of the experience.
That's right...YOU get to steer a boat through the fabled jungle rivers...and do a few legendary speils or two!

What serious Jungle Cruise fan would not want a opportunity to actually pilot one of the boats and be a 'real' Skipper ?
We all know there are people out there in the hardcore fan community that would jump at the chance, regardless of price.
Thus why we see this type of pricing for something like this.

It is obvious to me what type of audience this experience in particular is being targeted towards.
You are not paying to eat breakfast on the shore within the African Savanna show scene......or the souvenir mask.
You are paying for the privilege to pilot a boat on the original Jungle Cruise Attraction at Disneyland.

Not trying to justify the price, just pointing out a important feature of the package no one seems to have mentioned.

Sounded to me like the breakfast is IN the attraction. I'd be majorly POed if I paid 300 bucks and they had us eat in Aladdins oasis unexpectedly.
Honestly, these events are overpriced but people forget the collectibles attached to it. That mask that's included, assuming it's well made will probably be worth 200+ on eBay. Tahitian terrace event was $150 to attend but the mug and poster sell for more than that.

I'm not buying the "you get to "drive" the boat" argument. It made sense at first, but then I remembered Disneyland lets guests steer the Mark Twain for free.

If the urge to become a skipper was that strong, I wouldn't pay $300 to do it once, I'd apply to become an attractions CM.

Did anyone else laugh at the price?

Laughed. Out. Loud.

 

[Sage of Time]

Well, there's a sucker born every minute.

How can everyone in the party steer the boat? And once you arrive at the African veldt scene how do you get to shore? Swim?

Reading the write up about this offering on the Disney Parks Blog gives the impression that you dine first on shore, and then afterwards board one of the boats for your 'crash course' in Skipperdom behind the wheel.
Afterwards you are presented with your souvenir mask and then escorted out of the Park.

I am just guessing that the daily sittings for this breakfast event will be reduced to a very limited number per day, say maybe only twelve per sitting.
It would be easier to manage the select few willing to pay up for this, plus it might factor in how they would then handle the 'Skipper Trainer' session.
This would then allow everyone to have a turn at the wheel and get a chance to pilot a boat on the rivers.

We will just have to wait and see how it will actually be handled.
I personally don't see this taking off and being a big thing, but NEVER underestimate the serious, hardcore Disney fans.
They are willing to pay out for 'exclusive' types of experiences like this.

You're probably right. A limited handful of participants would help explain the high price tag.
