This Week’s Featured Story:
Skipper Canteen Is Now Open.
The Jungle Navigation Co. Ltd. Skipper Canteen opened on December 16 at Walt Disney World Resort. Just steps from the legendary Jungle Cruise attraction you can enjoy the bold, flavorful tastes of Asia, South America and Africa at this new 222-seat table-service restaurant staffed by the wisecracking crew of the Jungle Navigation Co. Ltd. The Jungle Skipper Canteen touts an adventurous menu with some new and interesting dishes inspired by the exotic flavors of the rivers traveled on the Jungle Cruise. You can try head-on shrimp or sustainable fish collar, or stick with delicious, familiar tastes such as a grilled steak, pork tenderloin or chicken breast. Two non-alcoholic specialties will be served: the Punch Line Punch, with tropical fruit juice and mango puree (also available with a spiced rim for an extra zinger); and the Schweitzer Slush, with frozen apple juice and passion fruit topped with bursting green apple boba balls. The Disney Dining Plan is accepted. Reservations are not available at this time. It’s walk-up only as of now.

I have heard twice from Siemens about the lounge in Epcot one said it has been shut down because it was only for a select few chosen by shades and was spoilt by being posted on public sites. The other just said closed for December.
There also seems to be changes at port Orleans French quarter food court. No more pot roast, the ribs have lost there quality. And after waiting 20 mins in a line of 3 people to get quesadillas my daughter gave up. Also the cm at check did not seem to know you can have a cup for a fountain drink and directed my daughter to get a bottle drink. So if you want a refillable cup ask for one.
