Yes, though it's worth noting that a sunken boat was rumored for the ride during the 50th anniversary enhancements, so they've had the plans for a while.

Wait... is Disneyland getting a different Felix figure, or is that a shot of the old scene at WDW?

Does not appear to be the WDW version based on one video I just watched. So maybe DL is getting a slightly different figure?

Disneyland’s Jungle Cruise has always felt more genuine, so this Disneyland-classical figure design looks like it is splendidly purposed.

The one on the bottom is the caretaker from HM, only bald.

I believe DL's Trader Sam originally looked closer to WDW's before getting swapped out at some point.
Tokyo's Trader Sam is identical to WDW's.

Trader Sam at Disneyland was a pre-Marc Davis addition, so he's always had a very realistic design. They've just toned him down over the years to make his tribal-ness more understated. Here's a picture from 1960:

That's the pre-refurbishment WDW version of Jungle Cruise version of the trapped safari that had been there since the 90's:

I'm hearing whispers of a soft reopen on July 9.
"D23 Gold Members are in for an incredible sunrise adventure as they get to hear inside stories from Walt Disney Imagineering and be among the first to experience the “gnu” enhancements to the world-famous Jungle Cruise at Disneyland Park on its official reopening day Friday, July 16!
This late-breaking opportunity has very limited capacity for D23 Gold Members, but be sure to keep an eye out on D23.com in the days that follow for a special “virtual edition” for all D23 Members to get to hear the inside story from Walt Disney Imagineering!"
The price?
$75 per person (plus $7 processing fee). Tickets will go on sale on Friday, July 9, 2021 at 10 a.m. PST / 1 p.m. EST.
"This early morning begins as D23 Gold Members enter the gates of Disneyland Park before the park opens to the general public. Upon arrival, you’ll be outfitted with your own skipper hat and VIP credential as you begin our Adventureland expedition at the Tropical Hideaway.
With the wilds of the jungle as your backdrop, you‘ll enjoy some morning delicacies such as a Loco Moco Bao, Sweet Lumpia, Coffee, bottled juices, and water—and, of course, it’s never too early for a Dole Whip!
Then our master of ceremonies, D23 Team Member (and former Jungle Cruise Skipper) Justin Arthur, will get things going with a special panel of creative talent from Walt Disney Imagineering as they take us on a deep dive into the history and re-imagining of the beloved attraction. From its origins back to Walt Disney and opening day, to its long legacy of skippers, global adventures, and the latest sights on the legendary river banks, we’ll celebrate it all just in time for the attraction’s 66th anniversary!
Then the Jungle awaits! Making your way through the boathouse, you’ll board your explorer launch as your skipper (armed with the latest puns) will take you down the rivers of adventure to be among the first on the official re-opening day to see all the “gnu” sights to be discovered!
In addition to a skipper hat and credential, guests will be treated to a few other commemorative surprises!"
The event begins promptly at 5:30 a.m. at the Main Entrance of Disneyland and will last until approximately 7:30 a.m. Check-in will begin at 5:15 a.m. Due to the nature of this unique experience, please arrive no later than 5:30 a.m.; late arrivals will not be accommodated.
Event ticket does not include admission or a reservation for Disneyland Park during the normal operating day. Guests will be escorted out outside of the park upon event conclusion.
Parking is included for a limited duration. Information will be included in confirmation email.

i mean... if you wanna complain about this then you should complain about the hard-ticket events (like for pin trading and haunted mansion holiday) disneyland held in the early 2000s"D23 Gold Members are in for an incredible sunrise adventure as they get to hear inside stories from Walt Disney Imagineering and be among the first to experience the “gnu” enhancements to the world-famous Jungle Cruise at Disneyland Park on its official reopening day Friday, July 16!

$75 ON TOP of the admission ticket. The processing fee is laughable. What a joke, but this will sell out, no doubt.

Why do they need money to process a reservation?? How much manpower does that take?
Stevek

Yep, hard to hate them when these events sell out quickly. Not in my wheelhouse but plenty of folks will eat this up cuz the addiction is real.

I don’t understand the processing fee. Isn’t the ticketing service their own? They’re that strapped for cash? $7?? Bob, come on.
Also… the ride and new scenes are practically completely exposed in Florida. Not sure if this is the best $75 to spend at the parks.
