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!
Rides: On the Jungle Cruise you ride on a boat on the Amazon River and see some awesome fake animals. If you have a tour guide that is friendly and fun you will have an amazing experience. I love this ride because it’s fun and relaxing. The Pirates of the Caribbean movies are based on the Pirates of Caribbean ride. Jack Sparrow makes a surprise appearance at least three times. During the beginning of the ride there is a drop. (It’s a small drop.) Basically, the Pirates of the Caribbean ride shows a pirates life style.
The Enchanted Tiki Room is a show with audio-animation birds. It’s almost never crowded so if you want to escape from the crowd this is your place! In The Magic Carpets of Aladdin you get to fly on a magic carpet and chose if you want to get up or down. This ride may be for little kids but it’s really fun! Here’s a little tip while you’re on the ride: the camels that surround the ride actually squirt water! This overall is a very relaxing ride! I have never done the Swiss Family Treehouse but I do know that you have to walk the entire time. I do not have any interest in trying it because it’s just MORE WALKING and you will be doing enough walking at Disney World.
Entertainment: In Captain Jack Sparrow’s Pirate Tutorial, Captain Jack Sparrow and Mack his shipmate will teach you how to become a pirate on his crew. Last time we went Disney World my brother Al did it and he loved it.
Food: The Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen has many different themed rooms. A hidden secret meeting room, a dining room, and a crew mess room. The food their is really good! Tortuga Tavern is a pirate themed restaurant and a counter service dining. Sunshine Tree Terrace has many snacks such as chocolate chip cookies, chocolate or vanilla ice cream, orange slush, juice, and raspberry lemonade slush. Aloha Isle has the one and only DOLE WHIP!! A dole whip is a pineapple soft-serve ice cream that you can get as ice cream or in a float.
Shopping: Agrabah Bazaar is great if you like the movie Aladdin. You will find Aladdin merchandise. Bwana Bob’s is located just when you enter adventureland. It has hats and Minnie ears. Island Supply by Sunglass Hut is just sunglasses. Pirate’s Bazaar has Pirates of the Caribbean merchandise and accessories. Zanzibar Trading Company has safari hats and plush animals.
