b"Can you smell what the Gold Key Adventurers are cooking? This week the gang is boarding a steamer to head deep into the wild rivers of the world for a very special Jungle Cruise spectacular. Learn about extravagant florist bills, live animals in the early days of the attraction, and how the Walt Disney World version of the Jungle Cruise compares to versions from Disneylands in Anaheim, Hong Kong, and Tokyo. Plus The Rock vs Johnny Depp, pesky Skippers, and the genius of Disney legends Bill Evans and Harper Goff.\\xa0 Watch out for the rhinos and don\\u2019t wake the sleeping zebra, it\\u2019s time to hit the trail with the Gold Key Adventurers Society!\\n\\xa0\\nGuys, big news!
