Since then, it’s been largely neglected, used during hard ticket parties for makeshift meet & greets, and also housing Tinker Bell and her pixie homies for a spell. Prior to closing in 1994, this location housed the Adventureland Veranda, a counter service restaurant with interiors designed by Disney Legend Dorothea Redmond. If it could live up to the reputation of any of these, it would be a huge success for me, especially since it was previously a vacant location in the Magic Kingdom.ĭid it live up to my lofty expectations? Well, let’s start with thematics, and go on a bit of a photo tour of Skipper Canteen… These are three of my favorite Disney restaurants/bars anywhere, each being exquisitely done thematically. When Skipper Canteen was first announced, the concept reminded me of three different restaurants: Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto, The Explorer’s Club Restaurant, and Magellan’s. As such, some of the items reviewed here may not be available in the near future… Additionally, most restaurants will offer scaled-back menus at first, which includes Jungle Navigation Co., Ltd. Note that when Magic Kingdom reopens on July 11, 2020, it will do so with a limited slate of restaurants (see our List of Reopening & Closed In-Park Restaurants at Walt Disney World).

Additionally, Skipper Canteen accepts the Tables in Wonderland card for 20% off. The menu at Skipper Canteen is “daring” (odd word choice, but I didn’t want to go for the obvious “adventurous” pun, but I guess I’ve done that anyway with this parenthetical) by Magic Kingdom standards, making it an interesting place to try. This review features food photos and our thoughts on the ambiance and experience of dining at this new table service spot in Adventureland. Skipper Canteen in Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World is a Jungle Cruise-themed restaurant.
