Parental Guidance
Please note that parts of Adventureland, such as The Jungle Cruise can portray the Indigenous People in an inappropriate light. For this reason, the attraction will only be mentioned through the introduction of Ferdinand Magellan, a Portuguese explorer, and his ability to sail around the world. A still picture of the ride will be shown, but no video for this attraction.
