It has been reported on many job hunting and career-coaching websites that a large number of Americans list "Jungle Cruise Captain or Skipper" as one of the jobs they would most like to have---if money were no object.
Indeed, there was even a contest in which people auditioned for a chance at the "Dream Job" of becoming a Jungle Cruise skipper.
Some of us were fortunate enough to get the job through the old "apply and interview" process.
Here is one of the documents you would have received as part of your packet of information when you hired into Department 951 back in the 1980s. Of course, many Disneyland cast members from that time period will read these excerpts with fond memories of "Harbor House" and the old time cards and punch clock located there.




I was given a reminder card for a couple of my shifts as an Adventure/Frontier Attractions Host in Department 951. Looks like I was working a 1:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Parade shift on a Sunday and a Thursday shift at Tiki Room. I guess I could call over to extension 4695 and confirm!



I can still drop the targets like a seasoned rifleman thanks to many slow hours and my ability to provide unlimited resets to the guns in my days as a cast member! My favorite target: the old mine---I love the explosion in the mine and the little ore cart that darts out around the bend after you hit the bullseye!
