Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen – A Review!
Today, I am sharing our review from one of Magic Kingdom’s best-themed table service restaurants – Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen! That is QUITE a name. Referred to simply as the Skipper Canteen, this Adventureland dining location is a continuation of the theming and story of the Jungle Cruise attraction. As the story goes, due to the success of the Jungle Cruises, the skippers opened the doors of their headquarters and kitchens to feed hungry travelers passing through. Skippers make up the waitstaff of the restaurant – so be prepared for more corny jokes and silly puns during your visit. Home to “World-Famous Jungle Cuisine,” the menu features exotic…

Jungle Cruise Themed Dinner
The long-anticipated Jungle Cruise movie recently premiered, and we did a themed dinner to celebrate the night! This film is based on the beloved attraction in Disneyland and Walt Disney World.

For our Jungle Cruise Themed Dinner menu, I took inspiration from one of my favorite table service restaurants in Magic Kingdom – Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen! That may seem like a mouthful, but if you are a big fan of the Jungle Cruise…
