Glockin' Around The Christmas Tree at the Jingle Cruise

It’s that time of year again.  The weather gets a little bit colder.  The smell of gingerbread and peppermint floats through the air.  Adorned trees twinkle with lights in the night as green and red waters prominently color the rivers of the world.

Unfortunately not even during the Christmas season are our Hippo friends safe from their daily executions.  This season has become more dire as the Mouse recently unveiled a seasonal overlay called, The Jingle Cruise.  You may laugh at the name, but this overlay is no laughing matter.

The updated attraction poster plays up the holiday cheer and downplays the murder.

Since we at the AAHCS learned about this overlay late last month, we’ve had several teams investigating Disney’s ultimate end goal with this project.  Our findings couldn’t be any more repulsive. 

What Disney plans to do is kill even more hippos!

Since our organization became widely recognized among the Disney community in 2011, Disney has been doing everything in its power to keep the ride open and fuel its murderous compulsions.  Our followers have been very vocal and unrelenting in sending our message to the Mouse.  However the Disney marketing machine had a few tricks up its sleeve that we as an organization did not anticipate.

 

 

Their plan was to dress up the Jungle Cruise ride with cheerful Christmas decorations and witty Christmas puns, to overshadow the fact that they plan to kill more hippos this season than in seasons past.  The marketing boys in Burbank discovered by adding a holiday themed overlay to the attraction, daily ridership would increase dramatically.  As proven in the past by It’s a Small World and Haunted Mansion.  In doing so, they can now push more cruise boats down the river.  More boat captains would need to be brought in to meet the demands of the increased crowds clamoring to see the “limited time magic”.

 

With more boats prowling the rivers the time in between attacks has become much shorter.  Our hippo friends are now more vulnerable than ever.  What makes this news even worse is that this overlay not only affects the hippos of Anaheim.  The Magic Kingdom park in Orlando is also getting the Jingle Cruise update. 

At the AAHCS we will not stand for this!

Our hippo friends on both coasts are in serious need of our support.

We want a hippopotamus to not get shot for Christmas.

 

This is not an acceptable way to celebrate the Christmas season.
 

Thank you for your continued support and Hippo Holidays from all of us here at the AAHCS!
