Goodbye Jammin' Jungle Parade
Today is the last day for Mickey's Jammin' Jungle Parade, the afternoon parade at Animal Kingdom. I'll admit I only saw it a handful of times, but the costumes were bright and the music was catchy. I enjoyed it for what it was, even if viewing was kind of difficult at times.
I don't feel strongly about it one way or the other, but am eager to see the 'new' AK come together. I'm especially excited about the new nighttime extravaganza!
Anyone going to miss MJJP?

Yes, although it wasn't a must do, it was unique and probably the most interactive parade I've ever attended. It's sad but I can't see what they do to replace it

Miss it? Nah... Never had an attachment to it... Never cared if I saw it or not... The first two times, it was cool, but after that, not so much...

BRODIE: Hey, now, be fair. EVERYONE wants Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

We've seen it a couple of times. The second time was by accident. We were in route to an attraction and got stuck in a crowded area. We figured we'd watch it since it would be discontinued. It was cute and lively, but I wouldn't consider it something that we would miss.

Basically, I loved everything about this parade - music, costumes, animal floats - but I hated the parade itself for how it totally cut off the park while running. Several times we had gotten caught up in that mess and once even missed a reservation elsewhere because we just couldn't get out of Animal Kingdom. I'll miss it but I won't miss it.

This is my favorite parade and I will really miss it very much! It was colorful and lively and unique with the human powered floats. I'm so glad I made a point to be there for it one last time when I was there two weeks ago.

Definitely miss it. I enjoyed it, but it isn't something I had to see. The reason I will miss it is because of the kids. To me, it's sad that Disney is taking away some parades. The kids LOVE the parades. We were upset when they took away the Pixar parade at the Studios, now this one. Parades were always an iconic part of Disney. I think it is sad they are fazing them out.

I loved this parade - so colorful and fun! I'm glad I got to see it for the first (and last) time this past year. My other favorite daytime parade was Stars and Cars - also gone. We've never stuck around for the MK parades - sounds like it's too much hassle to get a good viewing spot so we usually head out for a break before that time.

I know it's been a while since this was posted, but I agree with most. I love this parade, and wil miss it a lot.

I really liked this parade, and I will miss it. Unfortunately I've only seen it a handful of times since I usually only spend the mornings at AK and leave after lunch.

JJP wasn't my fav, but it was cute. I agree about ToN. That is truly my favorite. Even over 10 years later I still miss that parade greatly!

That was Stephanie's favorite. She was talking about how much she missed during on our recent August trip.
We normally don't stay at AK after lunch so only saw the parade a couple times. We were asked as a family to be in it but the girls and grandma said they would rather watch than be on a float. Only time we have ever been asked at any park so I should have just said yes without giving them a choice. Lol

My all time favorite parade as well! I understand that epcot wasn't/isn't laid out well for parades, but I really wish they had found another home for this parade.
As for JJP, we really like it, but like so many others it's been a while since we actually watched it. Loved the Christmas conversion of this one. Kinda sad to see it go, even tho we haven't taken time to see it in years.
