Chadwick and Abbott take a spin on Disneyland's Jungle Cruise, one of the original attractions when the park first opened to the public in 1955 and is largely unchanged from its original experience.

During his career, Alex Chadwick has been on numerous expeditions to exotic places -- but never to Disneyland.

He visits the California amusement park to celebrate its 50th anniversary with a well-qualified guide: Will Abbott, who at just 6 years old is already a Disneyland veteran.
