Albert Falls, Jr. is a character from the Disney theme park attraction Jungle Cruise and its related media. He is the son of Dr. Albert Falls and Victoria Marie Falls, who were both colonial explorers and founders of the Jungle Navigation Company (JNC), a riverboat service that operates in various regions of the world.

Background[]

Albert, Jr. was born in the 19th century and became a historian and author. He married Sneh Falls, an Indian painter, and had a daughter named Alberta Falls, who inherited the JNC after her grandfather's disappearance. He also wrote a book titled "Born into the Jungle", which chronicled his family's adventures and experiences in the jungle. He also appeared in an interview with his daughter in the Daily Gnus newspaper, where he shared some of his insights and memories of the JNC. His silhouette photo can be seen in the office of Alberta Falls in the queue of the Jungle Cruise attraction.

Albert, Jr. is part of the Society of Explorers and Adventurers (SEA), a fictional organization that connects various Disney characters and attractions across different parks and media. He is related to other SEA members, such as his first cousin once removed Siobhan Murphy, an Irish ornithologist, and his distant relative Captain Rowan D. Falls, a riverboat captain who was killed by Henry Ravenswood in Phantom Manor. Albert, Jr. is one of the many characters that were created or expanded upon for the Jungle Cruise attraction, which originally opened in Disneyland in 1955.

The attraction features a humorous boat tour through various jungle scenes, where guests encounter animatronic animals, natives, and other surprises. The attraction is narrated by a live skipper, who makes jokes and puns throughout the ride. One of the most famous jokes is that Schweitzer Falls, a large waterfall in the attraction, is named after Dr. Albert Falls. This joke inspired the creation of Albert, Jr. and his family for the Skipper Canteen restaurant, which opened in Magic Kingdom in 2015. The restaurant serves as the headquarters of the JNC and features various artifacts and references to the Falls family and other Jungle Cruise characters.
