It's hardly Stouffer's mac. Even fancy NYC restaurants with Michelin stars sometimes serve more "adult" mac and cheese.Love that it not your typical burger and chicken nugget restaurant.
Serves Mac and Cheese.

Adventureland Veranda - Skipper Canteen restaurant
- Thread starter danlb_2000

So you didn'rt read the back story?
The story goes that some enterprising skippers who guided your steamer along the rivers of the Jungle Cruise have opened the doors to their headquarters to feed fellow adventurers and weary travelers.
The anaconda wrapped around something is the ride, not a restaurant. Anyone expecting Adventurer's Club as well was completely deluded in thinking they were going to do that. The main room is a mess hall for goodness sakes, and looks like one - just like it is supposed to look. People really need to stop with the silly carp about what THEY thought it should be and get over it. If you don't like it, then don't go there.

Yes! I think the theme is very well done and fits in with the area well. May I add, Just because Disney chose to give a few nods back to the Adventurer's Club, it never meant they wanted to reproduce it in any form. They are just acknowledging it as having been a Disney thing.
Exactly! It seems as if some people expected this to be the Adventurer's Club reborn, and are very disappointed that it isn't.

Wow, uncalled for.
There's nothing in that back story that suggests it's unreasonable to hope that the restaurant reflected the spirit of the ride.
And I like I said, it certainly can be appreciated for what it is nonetheless, but calling it the "Skipper's Canteen" affected my expectations.
Sorry, didn't mean to sound harsh, but yes, the back story says it has nothing to do with the ride, except as the place that the jungle cruise skipper's eat. It isn't the "Jungle Cruise" canteen, where I would expect to see items reminiscent of the ride, it is the Skipper's Canteen. After riding in a boat all day, and seeing the stuff on the ride, over and over and over, why would they want to see the same stuff in their mess hall????? I wouldn't.

Perhaps the SEA room contributes to that expectation?
I don't see why. It's one room in a much larger area. "Canteen" to me does not bring up images of the Adventurer's Club at all.

No need to cherry pick. You just gave at least two more examples even, three for some people. From this initial offering it looks overpriced just to make people feel sophisticated.
Be one or the other but don't fail at both.

I like mac and cheese. Very budget friendly. You can make a bunch for so little like any pasta.

Budget friendly for $19????

Not theirs , your own. Big profit margin for $19 mac and cheese.

You know what's funny?
Expensive yes (although typical for a park) but I'm pretty sure they aren't cooking up Kraft Mac and cheese from a blue box here.

I would hope.

But Guy Fieri cannot really cook so that's meaningless. Regardless, the menu is unique for the MK which largely serves Alpo at a premium. It would be more disappointing to me at Epcot or DAK.

I don't like the taste of wine. What if i cooked the pasta in the wine would you get the same result without having to consume that acrid beverage directly?
