In the past, while passing the animals during the ride, captains would say tongue-in-cheek lines such as, "Do you know what the difference between the crocodiles and alligators are. The crocodiles are made of plastic and the alligators are made with fiberglass."
People onboard in the days after the incident at the Grand Floridian say Jungle Cruise captains no longer made jokes about the crocodiles or alligators.
Guides on the Kilimanjaro Safari ride at Disney's Animal Kingdom have also changed the spiel during their tour through the park's wildlife.
According to Mouseplanet, guides no longer attempt to scare visitors by claiming a rickety bridge may dump them into a crocodile pen.
