Do you just love the Jungle Cruise attraction in Magic Kingdom?
You can keep the adventure going right across the street at the Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen, affectionately shortened to just Skipper Canteen by the locals.
This restaurant in Adventureland in the Magic Kingdom is run by the Skippers, so you can expect the same level of punny humor you get on the attraction! Skipper Canteen is a table service restaurant that continues the journey into adventure with equally adventurous foods with cuisines and spices from all over the world.
Menu
Disney is known for basic, but good food, because they are having to appeal to tens of thousands of people a day. Skipper Canteen is not one of those places! The menu features different flavors and spices from Latin, Asian, and Indian cuisines.
NOTE: This is not the place for picky eaters! You won’t find chicken nuggets or burgers here!
We also love that the ridiculous jokes are even found in the menu! You will find items like Tastes Like Chicken…Because it is, Baa Baa Lamb Chops, and Hardy Har Char Pork. We can’t even…

Nothing on the menu is terribly spicy or crazy, everything is just pushed outside of the comfort zone. This is a great place, especially for an adult trip, to try new things and enjoy a few laughs.
Atmosphere
There are 3 different dining rooms in Skipper Canteen. The first is the crew’s mess hall, which is a large open room with different nods to the skipper costumes and jokes throughout the room. The next is the Jungle Room, which is the former parlor of Dr. Albert Falls. Dr. Falls was the explorer who established Jungle Navigation Co. LTD in 1911, so it’s only appropriate to pay homage to him. The last room is the best room! Request that your server seat you in the S.E.A. room.
The S.E.A. stands for the Society of Explorers and Adventurers. The S.E.A. room was once their secret meeting place, and there are so many fun details in this room. Be sure to read the titles of the books on the shelves!
Reservations
Like all Disney Table Service restaurants, reservations can be made up to 60 days in advance through the My Disney Experience app. Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen is not a particularly different reservation to get. You might even be able to walk up to the hostess and request to be put on a wait list.
Skipper Canteen is in the Magic Kingdom, so you will need a valid park ticket in order to dine there. You will also need either a valid park reservation for the Magic Kingdom, or a park hopper ticket.
Pack your best dad jokes and be ready for an adventure!
