Skipper Canteen (Jungle Cruise themed restaurant) updates and ADR watch

[Disneylover99]

The math simply doesn't support that conclusion. People waited with equal fervor for BoG and we know how that turned out. The edit was correct. Look at it in terms of sets and subsets. You can group all of the people who try to get an ADR into a large set. We will call that Set A. And then there will be a subset of people who actually succeed in getting one. That will be Subset B. Set A will always be bigger than Subset B. Using your earlier post, "anyone who is following this thread" comprises Set A. People who get an ADR will be Subset B. Since all will try, but not all will succeed, my edit is fair.

Yes. I remember it well. I got dinner, lunch and breakfast the mornings they opened because I was on top of it. There were lots of happy and excited people posting their success. The disappointed people started to trickle in later.

Set A ~ Subset B IMHO

And since the original line said "probably", not "definitely", the edit and the original version may be equally true.

(edit to correct the verbiage I cited)

The earliest rumored date for RoL is Earth Day (April). Tiffin's is "sometime in 2016" so I wouldn't get wrung out about it as it's basically a pre-announcement.

No earliest rumored is March. Tiffins is Spring 2016.

Just joined this thread. Where are you seeing a menu? I'd love to look at it.

I'm in the camp of wanting ADRs. I am shooting for Christmas day, and there is no way I am going to attempt chancing a walk up for dinner and potentially getting stuck in a crowded CS on Christmas day of all days. If it's walk up, I'll be skipping it this trip and keeping my LTT reservation.

The menu hasn't been released yet. A handful of dishes have been discussed, but no actual menu has been published. The tentative soft opening date is still Sunday as far as I know, so hopefully someone can get in then and get more info.

 

[DVC1991]

Just curious, when they do soft openings, do people start lining up outside the restaurant when the park opens to get a reservation? Or is it more of a you have to be in the right place in the right time thing?

I've found my people! Hoping for an April lunch ADR to fill out my MK day. This morning I checked online at 3AM PST. I might be a little obsessed at this point.

 

[Planogirl]

I'm unsubscribing since we leave in the morning and I really don't want to think about this today. I wish everyone good luck getting ADR's for this place!

 

[cbnsoul]

This is the Dis. It's what we do.

So true!

 

[lustergirl]

I for one am excited. Going back this coming January and again the 2nd week of May. Hopefully it will be up and running by May so I can snag an ADR but if I can't I will eventually. It took me a couple of tries to get an ADR for lunch at BOG.

 

[Hannahinwonderland]

I don't even have a trip planned but frequently check if I can make ADRs. Lol. I hear AMAZING things from people who went to the preview

 

[Anal Annie]

I'm also within my ADR window now for our June trip. If I can't snag an ADR for this in January then I want one for June. I don't want to go booking up every day in June until I see what I can get for this place - so I'm holding off booking & the only thing I've booked so far is BOG for one night bcuz I know I have to do it now too. But this waiting for the ADR's to open here is just getting really tedious - I just don't have time to check this thread 6x a day….

We love Boma and Sanaa and all things unusual so I have no doubts we'll like this place...

 

[rainboots]

All the people at 180 for June are making me sad & happy at the same time! I am so excited for Jan 30, but I love the anticipation of a trip & really don't want it to be over 60 days from now!

Well our trip isn't till June so I am hoping that both of these things will be available by then. I don't really care about Tiffens but would love to try it if it is open by then but if not not a big deal. But I am hoping to see ROL and since it will probably change the hours and everything else at AK it kind of leaves us in the dark as to what to do. Prob will end up just eating walk up LOL

 

[kelmac284]

I am stoked that I was able to get BOG for lunch and I even got up at 2:45 a few days ago but got it easily. We only go every 3 or 4 years and this trip it has been 6 years and with my girls in HS and soon college I don't know WHEN we will go back. I know we will eventually but I am a single mom and my mom usually pays for our trips and she is in her 70's so I know that my days of going may end so I have to get everything I can out of every trip. Luckily I live in CA and we can do DL and even after my mom is too old to travel I will hopefully still be able to get to DL but as I said going to DW is a huge expense for us so I never know when it might be our last trip. I wish we could have waited till Avatar was done but it seems like every time we have gone they were building something new so I am sure if and when we finally get back there and get to see the new stuff then there will be something else LOL. I would love to go to skipper canteen but if it doesn't happen it won't ruin my trip but I sure hope we can make it happen.

Just joined this thread. Where are you seeing a menu? I'd love to look at it.

As a PP said, not released yet, but from the blog-
"The menu is inspired by the rivers of the world, with an emphasis on African, Asian and South American cuisine. Menu items include Char sui Pork, Steak with Yuca Fries, Stir Fy, Falafel with a Cucumber Salsa, Pineapple Coconut Cake."

Cast member preview sampled the falafel, and maybe something else that I have forgotten. Look for the menu to change as this Restaurant finds its groove. Can't Wait!!

just checked DPB...saw the word canteen in the title of an entry. started to freak out. turns out its for a water canteen for california adventure.


that's just cruel disney.

4:01 AM and no, SC is not available in the ADR system.

I'm wondering if I should change our ADRs for April 21 - 23. We currently are set up so that we'll have to be at Animal Kingdom on Thursday and Hollywood Studios on Saturday. But if RoD may open on April 22... Maybe not. It'll be mobbed that weekend. My brother's family visits so infrequently that there is a ton of things that are new to them, and my wife and I can visit later in the year.

Leaving tonight, is the sneak preview still open?
