Skippers Canteen ADR info.

[focusondisney]

On the phone with DD CM and she said that it is OPEN, but not booking as of yet! Menus info should be online soon apparently.

"Open" as in: she's working in MK & can see them letting guests in? As in: CMs got invited to a soft opening? As in: CMs were given official info on ADRs & actual opening so they can pass it on to guests at resorts & in the park?

Explain a little more please!

It won't be QS.

Has this been actually confirmed by Disney? I thought WDWMagic was the only one that has stated TS lunch and dinner, everyone else doesn't specify... but the original/official announcement didn't specify?

People who will be working there have confirmed it will not be QS.

So I assume we're looking at TS lunch and dinner? No breakfast, I'm assuming...?

Yes TS Lunch and Dinner.

Looking forward to booking dinner there for April. I really don't understand why Disney doesn't show a menu for a restaurant which should be opening very soon. I will try new things but my DH is very "cautious" with unusual menus lol.

Will anyone get in before all the bloggers? It'll be a mad dash. Everything will collapse. The menu will probably be pre packaged boxed lunches, and will charge $40 for the pleasure of it. And it will still be impossible to book for at least 5 years.

Based on CMs and alleged theme, it would be hard to make it QS unless the CM schtick was done more like Cosmic Ray. Which would be more

Probably because the CMs are still training, and that would include kitchen staff. Most restaurants pre-open make some modifications to menu plans based on actual kitchen operations. WDW knows if they announce a menu then change it at open people are going to freak out.

So....people are falling all over themselves for reservations there, and don't even know what's going to be on the menu, or if they'll like it?

Disney is genius.

For us, it's more because it's Jungle Cruise themed and we are Jungle Cruise obsessed. I couldn't care less about the menu on this one.

We're not picky, difficult to please diners. We generally find something we are happy to order wherever we go.

Agree with you! We think this one will be fun, and we're looking forward to trying it.

Don't see Skippers in either the reservations list or the list of all eating establishments....disappointed....

OP here. I haven't received an e-mail yet but if I do you guys will be the first to know! I can confirm (or was at least told) that it will be TS for lunch. Amazed at the interest in this post and as some other posters mentioned its a new themed park restraint so of course we all want to go and see what the inside looks like. To me it's almost the same as if the MK was getting a new ride or show. Isn't this the same as a "show"?

Its new, its a TS in MK. It's not like the food is going to be exotic, and if it is open on your trip, why not try it. Can always cancel

Good point. If you wait till the reviews come out it's quite possible you'll miss out on making an ADR at all.

I have heard the menu is a bit more unique than other MK restaurants

 

[rteetz]

Have they announced if they will be serving lunch? I was wondering how that would work as a QS if the waiters are in character

I believe it is supposed to be table service for both lunch and dinner. This place doesn't quite have the size of BoG to do quick service lunch.

It's a meal, not a life decision! I don't need to know what is on the menu (as long as it is not sauteed monkey brains or roasted boa constrictor)to know I want to eat there. With the lack of TS in MK, I am sure the place will be bursting at the seams for the foreseeable future.

I have a request in with IPO at the BC and will also post if I get a confirmation.

I was actually hoping for chilled monkey brains in a cool skull dish

Well me too, of course! Only savages eat COOKED monkey brains.

My son called and was told 'it' had been 'pushed back' because of an undisclosed issue. He's not sure if the restaurant opening was pushed back or just the ability to make ADRs. Of course the phone CMs are oft times the last to know. So as of now no ADRs to be made. Hopefully some one who's there will stroll by and let us know if it's physically open
I seem to remember when they started taking BOG reservations it was after the phone lines opened and phone only and we knew to call, in fact I remember being on hold for around an hour or more and when I got through no dinner ADRs for our trip 4 months later. When I got there I did wait in line for lunch (no lunch ADRs @ that point) and got in tho'.
Personally we are adventurous foodies and the only restaurants we avoid are the ones with really boring offerings so I'm hopeful Skipper's will be a bit more exotic than most MK choices. Plus I've long loved the Jungle Cruise - so win win.
