Today we will be talking about Skipper Canteen and my experience there!
The full name of the restaurant is Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen, but everyone just calls it Skipper Canteen.
The inside of Skipper Canteen is made to look a lot like the Jungle Cruise ride.
I had the “Tastes like Chicken” Because it is! Spoiler alert: it does taste like chicken. This comes with sweet chili glaze, vegetables, and rice. The chicken was nice, crispy, and I liked the sweet chili glaze on it.
Al had Chef Tandaji’s Crispy Chicken from the kids menu. This comes with a choice of two sides. He chose fruit and vegetables. He thought his meal was pretty good.
My parents tried out the “Hardy Har Char” Siu Pork. It is a Char Siu-marinated pork with vegetables and jasmine rice. The rice is hard to see in this picture since it is hidden behind the vegetables.
Everybody liked their meals and I give Skipper Canteen 5 Mickey Bars!

Before we get deep into the review, I would like to inform you that this review HAS SPOILERS for the Hawkeye series and the Marvel movies.
Photo belongs to the Walt Disney World Company.
Hawkeye takes place during Christmas time where Clint Barton (Hawkeye) and his family are visiting New York for the holidays. Meanwhile, Kate Bishop, who has looked up to Hawkeye since she was a little girl, gets caught up in a murder mystery that involves the Ronin. This makes Hawkeye take his family home and help Kate Bishop.
This series was really well done and I really liked how this series took place during Christmas time. This gave the series a very magical effect.
Photo belongs to the Walt Disney World Company.
This series was very intriguing because every episode you come closer and closer to finding out who the murder is.
I also loved Rogers The Musical! I was so happy that the entire song was at the end of the last episode!
Photo belongs to the Walt Disney World Company.
I was happy that we got to see Yelena again. I think one of the best parts of the show was just watching Yelena and Kate Bishop interact. They both were really funny together.
I would give Hawkeye 5 Mickey Bars because I honestly don’t have any complaints! The show was interesting and drew me in. I think I also enjoyed this show a lot because everything took place on Earth, so everything made logical sense.
Did you know that there is a Spring Roll Cart in Magic Kingdom?
The Spring Roll Cart is located just outside of the entrance to Adventureland. There are two types of spring rolls: Cheeseburger Spring Rolls and Buffalo Chicken Spring Rolls. We tried both.
The Cheeseburger Spring Roll was really good! What I really loved about these spring rolls is that they are still hot when you buy them.
The Cheeseburger Spring Roll has a couple pickles inside it too, which gives this spring roll more flavor.
I was not a big fan of the Buffalo Chicken Spring Rolls. It was too spicy for me, but if you like spicy food then you will enjoy this spring roll.
I give Magic Kingdom’s Spring Roll Cart 4 Mickey Bars! Next time you are in Magic Kingdom, I would really recommend trying the Spring Roll Cart!
