Skipper Canteen To Open at Magic Kingdom

[SMAX]

Although work has already started on the project and many people have seen the construction hoardings, Disney have announced at D23Expo the name of the new restaurant in Magic Kingdom.

At the Jungle Skipper Canteen, guests will be able to experience "World Famous Jungle Cuisine" in one of several unique dining rooms – including a crew mess hall and a once-hidden secret meeting room of the famed Society of Explorers and Adventurers. The restaurant will also be staffed by Jungle Cruise Skippers.

The Jungle Skipper Canteen is currently under construction and will open its doors in late 2015.

This is great! A real surprise to me and great that it will open at the end of the year.

Fantastic news

This is just what the MK needs, another table service restaurant (assuming it is table service as its not mentioned)

I wonder if its along the same lines as BOG for an ordering point of view

Very excited to be able to see this when re go next year. I'm also a big fan of the JC (even if it is in dire need of an update!) so hoping that the hosts will have the same 'terrible' jokes in their repertoire

Is this going to be counter service or table service also where abouts in adventure land is this going to be. Looking forward to this.

Look forward to seeing the theming

Found this on the Disney food blog:
It has been rumored that the service style of the restaurant may function similar to Be Our Guest Restaurant, offering a Counter Service lunch by day and Table Service dinner in the evenings.

This looks like it's going to be a fun place to go.

I feel I read somewhere it is to open in November.
