Jungle Cruise Long Sleeve T-Shirts

We all have dreams. Some dreams are seen as aspirational. Reaching for the future. Going for amazing adventures! Curing mysterious diseases and making the world a better place. Or, you could tell bad jokes in a fake boat with fake animals 6 times an hour. That's a thing too.

There are many Jungle Cruise boats that are named after rivers. These are the main 6 that Jungle Skippers think of, and I wanted to make a shirt that gave a little bit of love to the fantastic boats and their rivers.

I don't know about you, but the Jungle Cruise at Disneyland has always made me wonder... what do Hippos watch for Saturday Morning Cartoons? Wait, I'm the only one? Really? Well, enjoy this shirt anyway. (Our artwork is art by Skippers, for Skippers, and this artwork by the magical Richard Wallace. Richard is also the artist for the King of the Skippers card game.)

We wanted to show that Jungle Cruise Skippers have a heart. I, for example, have multiple ones, in jars... under my bed. But, enough about my weekend hobbies. We know that the heart of a Skipper beats with pure passion, amazing adventure, and silky sarcasm.

On February 27th, 2020, the event known as the "Sinking of the Bomokandi Bertha" shook the internet. We take a moment to remember all the socks that were moistened, the memes that were born, and the Skippers who laughed their asses off. (Except for whomever was in the boat. Wow. Sympathy to you.)

The boats of the Jungle Cruise use a signalling system involving shots on their .38 special pistols. 3 shots means your boat cannot proceed, and serves as a warning to those before and after you. Sometimes we have those moments in our lives. We can’t move forward or back. We’re stuck, where we are. The moments set in. The panic. The fear of being stuck in a boat (metaphorically) with 48 people staring at you for what seems like an hour. We all have felt the way we feel when a boat goes 3 Shot… But just keep calm. Let everyone know what is going on. That you’re all right. And just Three Shot…

Now, I don't know much about animals... Ok, I know nearly nothing about animals. But when I go to the zoo, there's one thing I do know. They call these ones, "Stripey Horseys"... (This shirt is in homage to the Jungle Cruise's very famous Stripey Horseys, who have been hanging out on the Veldt for a very long time... and yet few Skippers seem to be able to figure out what they really are...)

For the skipper in your life.

What sort of engine goes into a boat that is worthy of exploring the vast and untamed wilds of the Lands of Adventure? Why, a Miracle Boat Engine Company engine, of course. Known for its reliability and worthiness to handle even the worst of jokes, the Miracle is an amazing engine.

Not only is Bertha the most famous elephant in the Indian Elephant Bathing Pool, she is also skilled in her after hours activities. After years of bringing the beats to the Jungle Pool Party, she is now doing sets at a local night club, Sam’s Place. She’s definitely the only DJ who ever scratches the vinyl with their nose.

thank you for visiting!

Welcome to the World-Famous Jungle Cruise!

We loved Disneyland's Jingle Cruise, for the 3 years it was with us, but for the last 2 years it has been gone and we wanted to put out a shirt to help get it back. So, if you loved Jingle, wear this shirt to show your solidarity for our hope for it's return...

The FOOH celebrates the brotherhood of Jungle Skippers from across the world. From Anaheim, Orlando, Tokyo, and Hong Kong, these amazing Skips have been delivering passengers and humor for 60+ years, and the Order is a support organization making sure that the Skips know they are never alone..

Who can forget Jungle Wars, Episode 4 (A Gnu Hope) and the valiant exploits of scoundrel Hippo Solo? For so long there was a controversy, but no matter how much the films are digitally altered, we all know that the Hippo shot first. (And that's why so many people seem to shoot at hippos, particularly Skippers on Disney's Jungle Cruise ride)

We "Heart" hippos. As Jungle Cruise Skippers, we work with Hippos on a daily basis, and what isn't to love about them? From the way they playfully blow bubbles and wiggle their ears, to the playful way they charge the boats, knocking them over and spilling the precious cargo and passengers to the depths of the river. Adorable! We even have to playfully shoot into the air to scare them away. So much fun!

There's a lot of misconception about the misspellings of "Bote" that are out there. Some people even think there is an "A" in it. (I guess there is... "A bote") But, Jungle Skippers of modern generations know their vehicles of choice by this 4 letter name.

So, I could give you a nice long explanation of why the Skippers of Disney's Jungle Cruise ride spell it "Bote" when so many other people spell it "Boat". But, it's a long and boring story, with a lot of historical call backs to the 1970's and 80's... So, instead, I'll tell you that the primary people who are probably looking at this shirt are the Skippers and fans of the ride, because they were probably linked here because of the Jungle Crews podcast, the oral history of Disney's Jungle Cruise ride. Hundreds of hours of really great stories of an incredibly fun job that was loved by all.

Classic.

To a Jungle Cruise Skipper, there's nothing like the feeling when you step into a bote. (Sure, some people call it a boat, but we know how to spell it.) It's a magical feeling, where you feel utterly comfortable to be yourself, and you know that you belong. In other words... home.
