“The creatives are working with the negative descriptions of the natives and adding a comical plot that follows the adventure of the ships, their passengers and everything that happens.” Disney said in a statement from USA Today’s Michele Himmelberg that “guests will find this group of adventurers most charged with diversity.”
According to the attraction blog, it will include “new adventures that will be realistic with the experience we already know and love, with more humor, wildlife and emotions.”
