Skipper Canteen vs Plaza Restaurant

[Phonedave]

Pretty different places in my opinion.

Plaza: cheaper, burger/sandwiches, theme of restaurant is like an extension of Main St. so it's nice - but tiny. I don't even think there's a bathroom inside it.

Nope, no bathroom, you have to walk outside. Not even a sink to wash your hands. Now I am far from a germaphobe, but after walking around MK all morning, touching who knows what, before I eat food WITH MY HANDS (which is pretty much what the Plaza sells - sandwitches) I would like to wash my hands. The fact that I have to go outside the restaruant to do so just seems like poor planning to me.

I use hand sanitizer constantly at WDW. I pretend it's 100% as good as washing your hands.

The coconut bar for dessert was the best dessert I've ever eaten.

This! If you are a fan of coconut/tropical flavors this is not to be missed. The Kungaloosh dessert was amazing too if you prefer chocolate.

The Plaza Restaurant has few "dinner" options IMHO. If you like sandwiches for dinner, then you're OK. Unless of course you like meatloaf and ice cream ( they do have delicious ice cream).
Skipper Canteen's menu is Asian/Mediterranean. The steak was good. My son liked the pork with Jasmine rice. The appetizers were good ( Dim Sum style). The choices really aren't so great, but it does fit with the theme. The waiters try to act like the Jungle Cruise skippers. Neat experience, but really wouldn't do it again. That's why we're still begging Disney to put another Full Service Restaurant or 2 at the MK!

I am not sure I would classify Skippers Canteen as Mediterranean. It's a fusion of a lot of things really. Yes some Asian influence but not strongly that either. I found the choices to be enough for most people... really skmething for everyone.

We loved our lunch there. Kids meal wasn't even bland for once. We will be back!
