Old Trader Sam

[DisneySarah]

Anyone know why the old Trader Sam was removed? Why is there just a guy with no mask and a baby elephant now? PC reasons? Just curious...

It is the old trader same he is just missing his mask

Actually, Trader Sam now looks like he did when the Jungle Cruise opened in 1955. :P

Really? Wow. I would have never known. So is there a reason why he got a mask in the first place, then?

I miss that mask...I always thought it looked so cool.

Maybe the PC reasons you were thinking about in your OP.

Who knows though... things change! I like him now without the mask though. He looks a little more ominous without it and his slight smile makes him look a more evil... but the mystery of who it was behind the mask was creepy all the same...

Well, wearing that thing for many decades, it gets kinda hot; I need a break and some fresh air.

It's not the head, it's the humidity! Well, keep your head up!

I almost laughed my head off at that one, Trader Sam. By the way, is your brother "Trader Joe?" He's having a similar "two buck one chuck special".
