Adventureland Treehouse[]
A copy of Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs appears in mother's music parlour, as a tribute to how the attraction was previously Tarzan's Treehouse.
Jungle Cruise[]
The Jungle Cruise contains and has contained many references to Tarzan. Removed audio from the queue for the Magic Kingdom's Jungle Cruise had radio-announcer Albert Awol mention a Jungle Navigation Company screening of the fictitious film "Tarzan and Me". In another section of Awol's audio-loop, the announcer cleared his throat in a way which imitated Johnny Weissmuller's iconic Tarzan yell.
In 2021 refurbishments, themed posters from the Jungle Navigation Company were left on construction walls around the attraction which showed Disney's depiction of Tarzan in the jungle.
