Adventureland Veranda - Skipper Canteen restaurant

I will be in Disney until December 18th, do I have a chance of possibly being able to eat here? I am just wondering how high my changes are before I get my hopes up..

Possibly. Nothing official has come out, but from the previous posts, it would appear that at least CM testing is going to happen any day. One would assume that shortly after that, some sort of soft opening will follow.

Thank you! I was trying to get caught up on this forum. As far as a soft opening, that means no ADR's but walk ups correct?

Possibly. They may allow just walk ups, they may allow for walk ups for a small time period, they may randomly grab people walking by and offer them lunch. They have done all 3 for prior soft openings.

You may want to try and snag a Skipper's Canteen CM while you're at MK and ask them about walk up service. Tell them you're here until the 18th and just want to know if you'd be able to eat there at some point before you leave.

I was in the kingdom on Saturday and I could hear power tools going crazy behind those construction walls.

Good idea, thanks!

Looks like training is going on today and that the costumes will be very similar, if not the same, as the Jungle Cruise

You never know, they may be having a training session for Jungle Cruise skippers there, too, since it is so closely tied in with their attraction.

We will be down for Christmas to New Year's week. Wondering how bad the crowds are going to be for this if it is still just walk up. Keeping our eyes on the possibility of ADRs opening up...

Just keep in mind the crowds are going to be bad everywhere. We'll be there too so her's to hope!

Oh yeah, we are crowd veterans. As a pair of teachers with a middle school aged kid, we pretty much only travel at peak times. This is our second Xmas week trip. Done Easter quite a few times and the past two 4th of July weeks as well. Crowds don't bother us! Just hoping to score a table at the Veranda!

New details on the upcoming Jungle Cruise Skipper Canteen

We are going to be there from the 10th to the 14th so I bet we just miss this.

Nothing like an opening during the busiest time of the year. Talk about trial by fire. They'd better be on top of their game.

So its going to be around 200 seats. How is that compared to the seating capacity of other restaurants? Is that high, medium or low? I have a hard time picturing how large the facility is going to be.

me too, but Im glad its full service for both lunch and dinner, prior there was word that it may be mixed use like be our guest, which I find to be a nightmare, so this should be a good sit down addition which MK has been in dire need of.

Menu doesn't sound too bad. The slushie has peaked my interest lol.

 

[wdwgreek]

I'm reading on twitter that its going to be lunch and dinner counter service, is that incorrect?

Oh I hate the sign in that picture, it doesn't look weather or aged enough to be from the Jungle River Co, if you have the skippers you have to have the worn and junky feel!
