Dwayne Johnson Surprises Guests on Disney World's 'Jungle Cruise' Ride!

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson made sure these Disney World visitors got their money’s worth on the Jungle Cruise ride today!

The 44-year-old Fate of the Furious actor – who is set to star in a live-action adaptation of the famous theme park attraction – jumped on one of the boats and proceeded to lead the tour. We can only imagine the shocked looks he received!

“.. (I think the lady to my right is snapping a pic of my bootaaaay),” Dwayne captioned the Instagram pic below. “Surprise! Once I committed to our Disney partners to make the movie based off the JUNGLE CRUISE ride, I wanted to dive head first into the research. So I headed to Walt Disney World and surprised tourists by commandeering the JUNGLE CRUISE boat.”

“It was a GREAT day on the river,” he went on. “Learned a lot.. for example, it takes approximately 12.6 minutes for all the passengers to get over the shock of me jumping on the boat and thinking I’m a DJ look-a-like. One passenger even said, ‘Oh the real Rock is much smaller than this guy’. I threw his ass off the boat.”

Jokes aside (and yes, with me as the Cruise Skipper there will be an abundance of puns) this is such an amazing, fantastical and cool world to build out,” he added. “Best part about this surprise research day was knowing how FUN of an experience we’re gonna work hard to create for families around the world. That’s the part that gets my excited the most.”

“The movie. The ride. The experience,” he finished. “It’s the cruise of a lifetime. And trust me, you’ll want me as your Skipper. Just don’t forget to bring the Skipper’s beer. Next step… we find our visionary director. #SurpriseAroundEveryCorner #ResearchDay #DisneyWorld #AllAboard #JungleCruise.”
