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

[SGMCO]

another place that will be hard to get in (ressies), but hopefully worth the effort! Hoping they do offer CS for Lunch, we really enjoyed our Lunch at BOG, felt like eating at TS without the higher cost.

haha IM SO HAPPY SOMEONE CAUGHT THIS

My guess is that it is some kind of slush (possibly alcoholic) drink with juice "balls" on top. I don't know the proper name for them but we have them at the local frozen yogurt shop in the add-ons section.

It's called Boba Pearls. They are very tasty and come in many fruit flavors.

Nothing new on the ADR line tonight when just called.

Did see an article posted with a few more details about the menu but nothing mentioned about a date. Here's to trying tomorrow...

I can't believe the menu wasn't sneaked out by someone, or did I miss the menu some where?

I'm imagining they prob had a no cellphone kinda rule for the CMs .... Plus I know there's some kind of paper you sign when you get hired on saying you won't share any information.

I'd hope that they'd hire trustworthy people. The downside of that is that trustworthy people wouldn't publicly reveal things that they were told to keep secret.

Still no addition to the roster on MDE as of this morning... please let us know if anyone's called into the Dining line and got different results.

 

[Lorilais_mommie]

I called..
Not open and no news on when it may open..

 

[hart6066]

Does anyone remember if MDE was up and going when BOG opened? Im trying to remember how we knew to call to get those ADRs--and how much advance notice there was. Thinking this may just suddenly pop up line as open but wondering why the difference from when BOG opened--unless MDE wasn't really functioning well at that point?

I feel like something has to be released soon. It's already December 9th. Hey keep saying this place will be open by the end of the year. They're running out of time to meet this deadline

They don't have to have ADRs for a place to open. Plus, stuff just happens and can easily run behind schedule. If they thought they could open now, they would. They are currently losing money every day they are not open.

Yeah I figured he AdRs will still be a while but I'm kind of surprised there's no full menu yet or at least a spot for the restaurant on the dining page

I think it'll be worth it.

I called this morning and not a hint of when it might open. I was reminded to keep watching the official Disney Parks Blog for more information. I did see a rumor that they may open with just walk-up reservations through the end of the year with ADRs beginning in January. I hope this isn't true. I have a trip in late December!

We're in the same boat as you! Unfortunately I feel like if the restaurant hasn't soft opened yet we will have to rely on walk up reservations

This likely how it will happen.

Just called. CM said she heard a rumor it would open on 12/20. But she heard that from a guest who called her to make a reservation. We both agreed that nobody really knows for sure!

No app. I distinctly remember spending time on the phone that day to get the reservations when ADRs first opened.

For the life of me I can't remember how much notice we had though. I want to say around a weekish (I know we had at least enough time that I knew despite having all ready booked my other ADRs I had to be up early that morning) but I may be completely wrong. This was 3 years ago.
