Is Jungle Skipper Canteen the BEST Restaurant at Magic Kingdom? NEW Menu & Top 5 Restaurants

[@lisaglass8850]

Just returned from WDW and my family cannot thank you guys enough for all your reviews! Theme Park Foodies "Top" series are just great. We are saving the CBS review as our prime time event lol. The MK series has been informative for those of us that have not had a MK sit down meal in years. This is one place I would be willing to try. Everything looks so good. Thank you so much for helping with my Disney and food addiction lol.

[@ThemeParkFoodies]

We're so glad that we got to meet you and your family on your trip and so happy to hear the reviews played a part in your trip planning. Skipper Canteen is such a gem of a restaurant with amazing cast members and elevated food but not as expensive as BOG. Happy to help :)

[@sarahm.5850]

Really enjoyed this series! :)

[@ThemeParkFoodies]

Thank you so much, we enjoyed filming it :)

[@kellycarroll6829]

I enjoyed the countdown!💚🕊blessings🌟

[@ThemeParkFoodies]

Thank you for following along!

[@annathorpe4701]

Skipper Canteen is our favorite as well. I'm glad to see some new menu options to try out.

[@ThemeParkFoodies]

Once we finished the meal here we knew it was the winner. It really is great seeing their menu get some attention 🙂.

[@SarahSmile6]

Loved this series, I can't wait for the other parks! I really like that you show us what you eat at the end to remind us. Is Epcot next? Thank you both for all your hard work with these videos its very much appreciated.

[@ThemeParkFoodies]

So happy you enjoyed 🙂. We actually got nervous starting these because we figured with how hard some of these reservations are to get that it'd be a tall order to get them all in a short period but we did it! Epcot is next. We're hoping to start that park after the Christmas rush next month. Thanks so much for acknowledging the work we put into our videos. It really means a lot ❤.

[@alessandrapreziusohammrich819]

Thank you for a little magic today all these years since the 80s coming here I don't recall this restaurant I will try it now looks great and top 5 was fun thank you ❤

[@ThemeParkFoodies]

It blends in with Adventureland so well! it's right after Sunshine Tree Terrace. We had a great time filming this series- Magic Kingdom has such a comforting atmosphere when you're going through hard times.

[@JenThePirate]

I was excited to see your final rankings! I’m glad Skipper Canteen was #1 we haven’t done it yet but it’s tops on our list for the MK, to try

[@ThemeParkFoodies]

Thank you! Hope you get to try it soon :)

[@amandagonzales4813]

awesome series, thank you!!

[@ThemeParkFoodies]

Of course! Thank you for all your support 🙂

[@sandypandys]

the background blended into the restaurant is unique and fun jungle skipper canteen is a restaurant id like to try. the menu options are very diverse compared to the rest of the magic kingdom restaurants or even the resort restaurants.

[@ThemeParkFoodies]

It's the perfect Magic Kingdom dining experience :)

[@sandypandys]

@@ThemeParkFoodies not sure if the kids would like the menu but i sure do

[@nannybeadling1227]

I was so excited for this video, and you did not disappoint! Absolutely made my day. We have wonderful memories here. Such a fun place. Those desserts look beautiful and delicious. We will have to add them to the list. Thanks for bringing the magic to Idaho! We appreciate you so very much

[@ThemeParkFoodies]

We had such an amazing time at this dinner. Every single cast member in that restaurant including the hosts outside- were incredible. They seem to really enjoy their location and knew so much history. This place really embodies Magic Kingdom and it's nice that the food quality is elevated compared to most of the other offerings in MK. Hope you have a great week :)

[@taliskan198]

Great series! Wasn't sure where Jungle Skipper Canteen would land! Thank you

[@ThemeParkFoodies]

Thank you so much- we didn't know either LOL

[@shannonchampion6690]

We haven’t been to the Plaza yet but tried all the rest of these. We love Liberty Tree Tavern but recently tried Skipper Canteen and that is probably my husbands favorite place to eat now! We loved it!

[@ThemeParkFoodies]

Plaza isn't a must do but it's still a fun casual spot with a great view. Thanks so much for watching!

[@TravelandFoodieWarriors]

This was such a fun series to watch. We've always struggled with MK sit downs. We love BOG and Liberty Tree Tavern and have also had some good meals at Cinderellas Royal Table. We would love to go to Skippers but it seems like most of the food there is spicy. Thanks for the fantastic reviews and insight of these restaurants! 🤩

[@ThemeParkFoodies]

We haven't been to CRT since 2019 but we've heard it's gotten a lot better. I (Sam) can't handle spicy food and I stick to a few things at Skipper and always enjoy it :)

[@carakerr4081]

I went to find your new video today but then I realized it’s only Wednesday!!! No pressure but you know I’d be happy if you put out a video everyday!!! Praying your week is blessed 🙏💕🙏

[@ThemeParkFoodies]

As a member you should be able to see tomorrow's video early! We released it to members a few hours ago. Hopefully one day we'll be able to do this full time and make more videos for you 🙂. Wishing you a blessed week too.

[@carakerr4081]

@@ThemeParkFoodiesYay!!! 🎉

[@jkhegarty857]

Hi Sam & Jay 👋☺️! Thank you for sharing your dining experience. I was not aware of this restaurant. The selections were very diverse and should satisfy everyone's palate & dietary needs. Your food choices look delish 😋. I enjoyed your top 5 choices of restaurants. Buon Appétit and see you for the next one. 😊❤ 🐶❤

[@ThemeParkFoodies]

It's easy to walk by- it blends so well into Adventureland. The cast members here are incredible and the menu is much more elevated than anything else in Magic Kingdom. This was a fun series to film and we're looking forward to doing the other parks.

[@jkhegarty857]

@@ThemeParkFoodies Just a quick question. Do you visit other restaurants outside of the parks? Do you visit other restaurants in other parks in the Orlando area? If so, look forward to a variety of restaurants.

[@MichaelTassin]

I was so nervous when you got to your top 2, and I am relieved yall picked Skipper Canteen!😅 Another great series, and we’ll all forever be haunted by that Plaza salad!

[@ThemeParkFoodies]

The Plaza salad will always be infamous!

[@lebabies]

So much fun, thanks TPF!

[@ThemeParkFoodies]

Happy you had fun! We appreciate you 🙂

[@MommyNancy1979]

Love your shirt, Jay! I bought that same shirt on Etsy for my husband :) I liked Skipper Canteen... I just ordered wrong when I went there (the harissa dish, I didn't realize it would be that spicy) I enjoyed my daughters food much much more! It's definitely worth another try for me because the app and dessert was so good! Your dishes looks soooo good!! I haven't dined at some of these restaurants, but I do agree with your number 1. I hope you do these BEST restaurants for the other parks, it's a nice series!

[@ThemeParkFoodies]

We have a lot of shirts from LBV shop, they are very high quality and great designs. The food was great and the service was so wonderful we really had such an enjoyable time here. We will definitely do this for all the parks :)

[@vafranklin22]

Awesome!! If you swap your 2 and 3 that's my list 🎉 please do this for all the parks 😊

[@ThemeParkFoodies]

We definitely will be! Thanks so much for following along :)

[@NibblesandBubbles]

We’ve have loved watching this top 5! We were thoroughly surprised by Liberty Tree Tavern last year - the food and value for money. We ate at Skipper Canteen several years ago. It was just okay for us as our server didn’t really get into the spirit of things with the jokes etc. There wasn’t as much choice food wise for us then either. Thanks for sharing!

[@ThemeParkFoodies]

We're so glad you enjoyed it. I really though Liberty Tree was going to take the top spot- but Jungle Skipper really put up a good fight. I am so sorry to hear about your past experience at Skipper Canteen- we've always encountered great cast members here. The menu is more adventurous, so I understand it not being for everyone. Thank you for following along :)

[@NibblesandBubbles]

@ we’d seen so much about the servers having fun with customers but ours was just very business-like! I think the menu has expanded since we went. The duck looked nice and so did the desserts!

[@chuckoffcampus9738]

I really like Liberty Tree Tavern, but I think you made a great case for Skipper Canteen. This was an excellent series. I'd like to see you compare all the WDW Park buffet restaurants next!

[@ThemeParkFoodies]

I thought Liberty Tree was going to take the #1 spot but Skipper Canteen blew us away! I think we are doing Epcot series next but we'll keep that in mind :)

[@mrmcckracken4363]

My wife and I agree with you guys. Skipper Canteen is our favorite in Magic Kingdom. The other ones are good. That is just our favorite. Thanks for the video.

[@ThemeParkFoodies]

Happy you agree 🙂. Prior to this series we always thought Liberty Tree Tavern was our favorite but after eating at them all it became obvious how much Skipper Canteen has to offer. Great pick! Thanks so much for your support.

[@jugtug6485]

That's what it's about having a good 😊 fun time on vacation

[@ThemeParkFoodies]

Even though we came from work, this felt like an escape from the mundane work week :)

[@koriewiley8700]

For me, I love all five restaurants at magic Kingdom ✨️

[@ThemeParkFoodies]

They are special in their own way :)

[@carakerr4081]

We have never eaten here we must go next time we are in Disney all looks deliciously!!!

[@ThemeParkFoodies]

We highly recommend! Jungle Skipper Canteen is an experience. It's like riding The Jungle Cruise while you're eating.

[@DapperVantaCrew]

I have never been there so I like to see your opinions on this also thank you for all the information!

[@ThemeParkFoodies]

Thank you- we try our best to be informative and give our honest opinions :) Appreciate you watching.

[@debbiehorvath4555]

Dang now I wish we had a trip planned. I agree with your #1 and 2 but those are the only of the 5 we've eaten at. I really enjoyed both and was pleasantly surprised by Liberty Tree Tavern. I really want to try that pasta with the Vodka sauce at Tony's. Mama Melrose used to have one many years ago that was really good. I also wish Be Our Guest was still a quick service for at least one meal of the day. I'm glad we were able to go when it was because I really don't think we would enjoy it now especially for the price. I really enjoyed these 5 reviews.

[@ThemeParkFoodies]

Agreed! I wish Be Our Guest still had that quick service lunch. It was a great cost effective way to enjoy the atmosphere in there. In our opinion, the cuisine at Be Our Guest was the highest quality but not good enough to make it number 1. So happy you enjoyed 🙂. Thank you!

[@whereistheaimee4487]

If you like corn nuts, try Inca Corn from Trader Joe’s.

[@ThemeParkFoodies]

Thanks for the recommendation!

[@edwardbarreto8410]

I LOVE corn nuts. Thank you for that!!!

[@christine3507]

Woohoo! Skipper Canteen is definitely my MK favorite. This was a fun series!

[@ThemeParkFoodies]

Thank you so much, we enjoyed filming it :)

[@lindamaize3735]

I finally got to eat there in may I waited 15 minutes to get even a glass of water that was after I went up to the hostess to ask if I could get a waitress the food was nothing to right home about the servers were not preforming that day no cool banter it was once and done I have found when you are a single diner the servers think you will be cheap in my case that is far from the truth but never again

[@OscarCavazos]

Kind of a dumb question, but why wasn’t Crystal Palace included?

[@ThemeParkFoodies]

Not dumb at all! We didn't include character dining, hence no CRT too. We felt the characters gave those restaurants a different feel if that makes sense.

[@OscarCavazos]

@@ThemeParkFoodiesgotcha!

[@jillkinsman4068]

I love the Tastes Like Chicken and get it every time, however last visit in September 24 the chicken was just not as crispy and I asked the server and she told me there had been several iterations of it in the last few years. I will give it another try next time but I was SO sad!

[@ThemeParkFoodies]

Oh no 😕, we have had differing iterations of the Tastes Like Chicken. This one was Crispy so hopefully they changed it back. The downside of Theme Park Restaurants are how inconsistent they can be. Hope you get a good one on your next visit 🙂.

[@koriewiley8700]

How are the food and decor there?😊😊😊

[@ThemeParkFoodies]

The best in the park!!

[@RandomStreamContentx88-i8u]

CRT doesn't make the list?

[@ThemeParkFoodies]

We didn't include character dining! We felt the characters added an unfair advantage to places that focused more on the table service experience as a whole.

[@RandomStreamContentx88-i8u]

@@ThemeParkFoodies I was at Skipper Canteen earlier this year and agree it was the best food I had in MK thus far, but I was lucky enough to get a CRT reservation for an upcoming trip. Were you disappointed in the CRT dining compared to SC?

[@ThemeParkFoodies]

We haven’t been there since 2019, we weren’t impressed back then but we’ve heard it’s gotten much better!

[@RandomStreamContentx88-i8u]

@@ThemeParkFoodies Just got back from WDW this weekend and CRT definitely was great. Maybe I was lucky since I heard it was inconsistent but the braised beef, filet mignon, crab topped fish of the day and cheesecake were very good. Keep up the great videos you two!

[@damianspalma2524]

The fried rice looks more like Hibachi rice (Which I actually prefer)

[@ThemeParkFoodies]

It did have a bit of Hibachi flavor too it!

[@lesliegallagher2682]

So torn- Tony's or Jungle Skipper Canteen? Worried that Jungle is too adventurous for my picky eaters. I would like to try something different, so maybe I'll try Jungle with my dad and let the rest go to Tony's.

[@ThemeParkFoodies]

Jungle Skipper is great for those with dietary restrictions. Due to it having some Asian Cuisine we do think it should have something to please everyone. However, if you have some really picky eaters and you know they love pasta then Tony's is definitely the move. We don't think you'd be disappointed with either. The reason we think Jungle Skipper is the best is because it encapsulates the Magic Kingdom experience. Tony's has amazing staff, a beautiful restaurant and some solid eats though. Oh man, now I'm conflicted for you 😆. Hope that info at least helped a bit and hope you and your family have the best time at the park 🙂.

[@lesliegallagher2682]

@@ThemeParkFoodies Thank you!

[@cmcguckin85]

We have always wanted to eat here. I don’t know why we never have but now it is a 100% must on the next visit. I also plan on getting a small S.E.A. Tattoo.

[@ThemeParkFoodies]

The servers are seriously amazing, they make the experience so fun and it's great that the food is higher quality than most in MK.

[@toyman70]

Shocked how tiny the dessert is for what it costs, makes the cake bake shop seem like a bargain now....

[@ThemeParkFoodies]

I actually thought that when I edited this the day after we went to bake shop.

[@advelec]

Dude, you need to learn how to hold a fork!

[@ThemeParkFoodies]

Is there a tutorial you recommend ?
