4. New show scene debuts at the Jungle Cruise
Though Disney has been quietly removing certain scenes from the Jungle Cruise in the past few weeks in preparation for this attraction's updated story and look, earlier this week they debuted the first new scene for this attraction with some newly-added "up the pole" characters you can see above.
Of course, this new addition is one of many for the Magic Kingdom version of this attraction, which will continue to have scenes added and changes made in the months ahead as it works towards a refurbishment completion date later this summer. The attraction is not expected to close at all while these changes are made.
