(088636.ME.Disney.DOK)The guns are back on the Jungle Cruise. And the famous teacups are spinning again. In what seems to be a rolereversing position on political correctness, park officials say they are returning the magic to Disneyland, which next year celebrates its 50th birthday. No word yet whether the wenches in Pirates of the Caribbean will be back. (Photo by Don Kelsen/Los Angeles Times via Getty Images)
A boat filled with guests at Walt Disney World had to be evacuated Thursday after it took on water.
No one was hurt, and the passengers aboard the Jungle Cruise boat got off the vessel safely after firefighters from the resort's private government were called to the scene, according to Disney World officials.
The attraction was opened a short time later. Disney officials didn't say how many passengers were on the boat or what caused it to take on water.
A photo posted on Twitter by a passenger showed other passengers standing on seats with water covering the boat's bottom. Another photo showed what looked like a Disney employee standing in knee-deep water on the partially submerged boat.

“Our boat on the jungle cruise sank today. Fun times!" tweeted Matthew Vince.
The safari-themed boat ride features animatronic animals and wise-cracking boat operators.
