Vessel Nameplate for a boat on the Disneyland Jungle River Cruise "Kissimmee Kate" boat nameplate from the Disneyland Jungle Cruise attraction.
Information
Origin: The "Kissimmee Kate" is one of the riverboats that operates on the Jungle Cruise ride in Disneyland.
Location: In the attraction queue, a board lists various boats, including the "Kissimmee Kate" with a humorous log entry.
Name Inspiration: The boat name is a direct play on the title of the 1948 musical Kiss Me, Kate, which itself is an adaptation of William Shakespeare's play The Taming of the Shrew. It may also serve as a tribute to actress Katharine Hepburn, star of The African Queen, a film that heavily inspired the ride's design.
Holiday Overlay: During the holiday season (known as the Jingle Cruise), the boat's name is humorously altered to "Yule Kissimmee" or "Kissimmee Under the Mistletoe". |
