New Adventureland Restaurant Confirmed

[Patricia]

Reported by WDW News Today. The new restaurant, formerly Adventureland Verandah, will be tentatively be called the “Skipper’s Cantina”, themed around the Jungle Cruise attraction. The rumored back story: Seems the skippers are not making enough money driving the boats and need to open a restaurant for some extra cash.. hmm.

Rumor is that it will operate similar to "Be Our Guest" in that it may be counter service for lunch and table service for dinner.

They are aiming to open in Nov 2015, but that seems optimistic to me, given Disney's long construction times.. but let's hope. That would help with the huge Christmas crowds. Can't wait to see what becomes of this.

I just read an article about this! New additions are always fun to look forward to. The article I read mentioned that they might serve beer and wine with dinner like BOG.

More dining options are always welcome...

[SBETigg]

Very exciting! What a fun theme.

[Disney4us2]

Looking forward to trying it out.

Any rumors on the Menu theme?

[Cinderelley]

It would be awesome if they did it like the Adventurer's Club

[Fangorn]

Sounds like fun. Pretty sure that in our household, the place will end up being referred to as "Skipper Dan's".

Can't wait to see a menu for this.

Great idea!

... then move over to Tony's and replace that menu with "good" Italian food!

There's using the old noggin

Adventurers's Club, Jungle Cruise and Pirates themes were all running through the rumor mill before the confirmation was made yesterday.

I was pulling for Adventurer's Club myself but the Jungle Cruise is a good fit.

This sounds promising.

I saw rumors that it might be sharing a kitchen with Liberty Tree Tavern which, if true, might help cut down on construction time.

Its sounds like a great idea and could be a lot of fun and nice place to eat. The article reads to me like a one giant rumor nothing in the article other then title confirms anything. I hate to be bummer but the article to me reads like a rumor nothing more.

[TinkerbellT421]

It has my attention. Sounds appetizing, oops I mean appealing

[merciantinkerbell]

The Jungle Cruise is one of our favourite rides. Hope this happens and not just a rumour.

[Maddie]

Exciting! I am hoping they serve some . I understand why they don't in most of MK but I do enjoy a drink at night when I head back into the park!

[crazygoalie39]

I'm reaalllly excited for this! Just wish it was going to be open for our October trip. Now I'll have to wait another year to go.

When I saw this news I immediately thought of the restaurant that is across from the Jungle River Cruise in HKDL, River View Cafe. That is a table service restaurant for both lunch & dinner, and it is served family-style, (which I love). The food is southeast Asian, which I doubt will be the type of food that the MK restaurant will offer. Although the restaurant itself is themed, the food really isn't, but in October they offer 'creepy' dishes for Halloween. I ordered some spider soup and a drink with an eyeball in it.
