Summary
WDW Radio # 631 - Interview with Imagineer Kevin Lively and Jungle Cruise Updates
I want to welcome you aboard the World Famous Jungle Cruise with our very special (former) Skipper, Kevin Lively. Kevin shares his personal journey from fan to Cast Member, and stories from the rivers in Disneyland and in Tokyo. We'll also talk about his time at Walt Disney Imagineering, as show writer and story editor, and maintaining the legacy of classic attractions that include Pirates of the Caribbean and the Haunted Mansion. We also discuss the changes in the Jungle Cruise, including a reveal of a new show scene, the S.E.A. (Society of Explorers and Adventurers) and much more. It is an outstanding discussion... until Kevin left me out standing on the dock. Alone. And if you don't believe me, you're probably in... (OK, moving on...)
