About the Column

Finding perfect Disney pictures isn't easy. The obvious places to look, such as Flickr, are awash in pictures posted by folks returning from a Disney trip. With patience, it's possible to find stunning shots, not always 'photographically flawless', but stunning for how the shooter has captured a slice of Disney, big or small, and captured it in such a way that you're inspired to do likewise the next time you're in a Disney park. Enjoy these shots of park perfection!

Perfect Jungle Cruise Lunch Menu

Every Disney picture tells a Disney story, and today we continue with our set of perfect park pics from Jeff Christiansen, who probably wasn't tempted by the various dishes - all tasting like chicken! - on the Jungle Cruise lunch menu.

Tastes like chicken?

If it's on the Jungle Cruise lunch menu, yes, it does.

Jungle Cruise Skippers are noteworthy - some would say notorious - for their cornball humor. The jokes mostly come from scripts written decades ago. Are they still funny? (A better question might be: were they ever funny?)

Here's an example:

"See that bamboo over there? It grows to 6 stories tall! Some people say it can grow to 7 stories! But that's a whole 'nother story."

I've heard that one many times. It still makes me smile, just a little bit, especially when delivered with gusto by a Skipper who enjoys his role.

But not all the jokes are on the boat. Some of them are in the queue as you approach the dock. Today's perfect pic, for example, tempts hungry explorers with the delicious dishes on hand for lunch.

Consomme of river basin slug, anyone?

The barbecued three-toed skink (served on Tuesdays) actually might not taste so bad, and like everything else on the menu, has a 'chickeny' flavor.

After eating this grub, you wonder how the Skippers have any sense of humor at all.

The images in Park Perfect this week are courtesy Jeff Christiansen. Thanks, Jeff, for the great shots! Tomorrow, a new arc of perfect pics, from a new photographer, begins.
