Travelling the jungle rivers is no easy task, especially when dealing with a wide array of dangerous illnesses and creatures. The queue for the Jungle Cruise is filled with photos, maps, and other paraphernalia including a certain poster warning about the risks of contracting malaria. Quinine was an often-used treatment for malaria up until the 1940s, and so was an important thing to pack for any jungle adventure.

Keel Haul
The Mike Fink Keel Boats may be a long lost memory in the history of Disney attractions, but the legacy of the legendary race between Davy Crockett and Mike Fink lives on at the Trail's End Buffet at Fort Wilderness.

A piece of Mike Fink's own boat, the Gully Whumper, hangs on the wall. The Gully Whumper was one of the actual keel boats that navigated around Tom Sawyer Island until 1997.
