Disney World guest's angry rant about 'childless' millennials flooding the park goes viral
The anonymous mom says people without children should be banned from the parks.
It was time to sink or swim.
Walt Disney World visitors on the aquatic Jungle Cruise ride were in for a shock on Thursday when they had to be rescued after the boat took on water.
No one was injured and all passengers were safely evacuated by firefighters from the Reedy Creek Fire Department, a Disney World spokesperson said.

Fortunately, help soon arrived.
“Everyone was fine and we were rescued in about 20 minutes,” Vince said.
“Our skipper was awesome, used a radio to get help, and we did not have wet feet or wet clothes on for very long,” the parkgoer shared on Twitter. “I can rest easy being part of the best Disney metaphor of all time.”

Following the incident, Disney officials individually worked with guests to ensure they could enjoy the rest of their day at the theme park, the spokesperson said. The Jungle Cruise has also since reopened.
Located in Adventureland at Magic Kingdom Park, the classic Jungle Cruise attraction takes theme park guests “on a scenic and comedic boat tour of exotic rivers across Asia, Africa and South America,” according to Disney. The slow-moving ride welcomes visitors of all ages and heights.
The theme park has not yet revealed how many passengers were aboard the Jungle Cruise boat when it sunk, or why it took on water in the first place.

The Jungle Cruise attraction has also inspired a "Jungle Cruise" film starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Emily Blunt, premiering in July.
