Adventureland Veranda - Skipper Canteen restaurant

[Incomudro]

Jungle cruise is a classic and still a must do every trip to the park. Especially when you get lucky with a good guide.

Why I really hope they get the best of the best to be servers in the new restaurant. Staffing of this place will be the key

Jungle Cruise, Pirates, Haunted Mansion.
The trifecta.

I have been thinking that also, unless the rest of the interior is well under way and these restrooms are the very last piece to be completed.
I think they could finish this up in time.

Calling all pixies to Adventureland. (Tink hears the call and flies off in the opposite direction... typical.)

So has it been confirmed for a Dec opening or is this still just speculation?... I thought they said fall 2015 and to me Dec is winter...

Well, Winter doesn't start until December 21st (at 11:48 P.M. EST), so anytime prior to that would still be Fall..

Just wondering if there was an end date to the permit, if so what is it? have you seen any other permits for the veranda?

Thanks!
That is cutting it close for Christmas-New years. They would need that restaurant capacity to handle the table service demand. (I hope it opens before December)

I see what you did there

I see what you did there

"Yes folks, it's said that the natives make use of the sun scorched stones to bake many types of food. In fact there's a tribesman now - can you smell what The Rock is cooking?"

(My submission to the Jungle Cruise spiel addition.)

I feel a disaster coming...

I hope they leave the jungle cruise alone if the films successful, actually they can add one rock to the ride that's it.

I dont understand what I'm looking at in this picture. Is this the backside of the facility? Where was the photo taken from?

I've always thought the Jungle Cruise to be very cheezy, and that Walt would have gotten rid of it by now because it's horribly dated. But somehow, the addition of this Skipper Canteen has changed my mind. I think it's because this Canteen is going to have a sense of humor. Sort of a minor Adventurer's Club. Since I wasn't fortunate to experience the Adventurer's Club, this Canteen has me really excited. I hope it's great. I can't wait to experience it.

This is the side you would see if you walked the bridge into Adventureland if the bushes were not screening it so it faces the Hub. Picture was taken from the small bridge to Frontierland or just behind the planter with the triple palm in it toward the canal.

The yellow boom at the bottom next to the black silt fence is in the water and the three doors you see above on the balcony is the Dan's rest/dressing area.

I think this will be a great addition, I love the attraction and I'll definitely be giving the restaurant a try when I visit next year.

Between this and Jock Lindsay's Hangar at Disney Springs I'm impressed with the theming Disney are going with for some of their new dining options.
