Disney has today announced via Imagineer Zach Riddley's Instagram that work is about to get underway on the changes to the Jungle Cruise.
Zach points out that guests may start to notice some "monkey business along the river" as work begins.
As expected, the change will be incorporated in phases over the next couple of months, and it will not result in any closure of the ride.

Disney announced back in January 2021 that it plans to update the Jungle Cruise with new additions to add "more humor, wildlife and skipper heart – and also reflect and value the diversity of the world around us."
Disney has not yet offered a timeline of when the changes will be completed, but has indicated that it will be coming "later this year."
