Mickey's Jammin' Jungle Parade Information

Concept: In this parade, unique to Disney's Animal Kingdom, Mickey and his friends are out on a jungle safari. This wild adventure features 5 character jeeps, dozens of animal puppets, and a whole bunch of Disney characters!

Parade Route: Animal Kingdom Parades step off by the Tusker House Gate in Africa. From there, they travel through Africa and over the bridge onto Discovery Island. The parade circles Discovery Island, and crosses the bridge into Asia. From there, it takes a left, and follows the pathway back to Africa. Back in Africa, the parade finishes where it started, by the Tusker House Gate.

This parade has always been staged at 4pm. I wouldn't expect a change anytime soon. It takes about 15 minutes to pass.

This is a very unique parade, because you can see it twice in just one showing. Get a spot in Africa, and watch the parade go by. Then, try walking the Forest Walking Trail, and getting a bite to eat. The parade will return, and you can watch it all over again! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Ramblings
This is Animal Kingdom's first full-scale parade. Before, the walkways were too narrow (Animal Kingdom was designed this way, so full sized floats wouldn't fit through the streets), and the sound system was lacking for a parade. March of the ARTimals was short lived, and Mickey's Jammin' Jungle Parade is alive and upbeat.

As Mickey says, "We're Jamming in the Jungle to the Rythm of One!"
