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. Full of corny dad jokes and groan-worthy puns, Jungle Cruise is one of my ABSOLUTE favorite attractions in the parks. And I’m happy to say, the film was successful in incorporating that classic fun. 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!
