food IS a theme park
Come rain or shine, we’ll still be hitting the parks in Disney World!
Windbreaker Line at Mouse Gear
Except, you know, we might need to pack a few extra supplies — umbrellas, sunscreen, maybe even a jacket. Now, you can stay cozy AND stylish in the newest line of windbreakers hitting the parks. Anybody got some parachute pants and a fanny pack to complete the look?
In 2021, Walt Disney World will turn fifty, and we can’t wait to see what kind of epic celebrations are planned for this special event! While we await the details, we thought about all the things we’d like to do at in the World before the big day — some big, some small, and most of them totally unique to the Most Magical Place on Earth!

in Disneyland’s Adventureland is the place to go for healthier-than-the-usual-theme-park-grub when you’re gearing up for your Jungle Cruise, and our Disneyland correspondent Heather (Maeva, @DiningInDisney) has discovered a sweet, share-able treat that’s the perfect fuel for your fun.
Tropical Imports
The Tropical Bar is packed with flavors — from dried fruits, nuts, and coconut — that provide a lot of sweetness and sustainable energy. You’ll find them in a basket at the check-out, so it’s the perfect treat to grab-and-go!
Welcome, fellow Explorers and Adventurers, to The Tropical Hideaway in Disneyland’s Adventureland!
The Tropical Hideaway!
This new counter service location will officially open to Disneyland guests on Friday, December 21st. But it’s in soft openings now, which means that if you’re currently in Disneyland you may be able to catch it open beforehand. [Read more…]
“Welcome to The Tropical Hideaway, you lucky people, you!”
The Tropical Hideaway!
The Tropical Hideaway will soon reveal itself to explorers and adventurers in Disneyland’s Adventureland, and we are SO excited to have been able to attend a Media Preview for this brand new location today before its official opening to the public on Friday, December 21st! (Note that they ARE soft opening today and tomorrow, too, so you might be able to get a taste if you’re there at the right time!) [Read more…]
The Tropical Hideaway will open in Disneyland later this year! The exotic marketplace will be nestled between two Adventureland attractions: Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room and the Jungle Cruise.
Coming Soon… The Tropical Hideaway
Disney has promised that “In addition to experiencing delicious tastes from all corners of the world, you’ll also encounter colorful wildlife.” And part of that wildlife will be none other than Rosita from the mobile chorus “in the Tiki, Tiki, Tiki, Tiki, Tiki Room”! [Read more…]
Jungle Navigation Co. Ltd. Skipper Canteen
opened its doors in December 2015.
Since its very first day, things have functioned differently at Magic Kingdom’s newest eatery based on the classic Jungle Cruise attraction. In its opening weeks, the Skipper Canteen deviated from its counterpart Table Service restaurants by accepting only walk-up guests.
Then this past February, Disney announced that reservations would be accepted for the Skipper Canteen after all — albeit in a unprecedented form. Same-day reservations became available for the spot which previously offered none at all.
But today a third — and presumably final — change has been announced. Like all other Table Service restaurants in Magic Kingdom, the Jungle Navigation Co. Ltd. Skipper Canteen is now accepting Advance Dining Reservations for guests hoping to make future plans to dine there.

Advance Dining Reservations can be made up to 180 days in advance of your visit via the Walt Disney World website, the My Disney Experience app, or by calling (407) WDW-DINE.

When I first heard about the new Disneyland Resort Premium Experiences, I thought, “Hmmmm… These could be very interesting and VERY fun!” So far there have been two offerings, The Mystical Spirits of the Blue Bayou Dinner and The Jungle Cruise Sunrise Safari Breakfast.
My friend and I recently treated ourselves to the Jungle Cruise Sunrise Safari Breakfast and it was an amazing experience. My visit took place during the Disney Holidays Season, so the Jungle Cruise was transformed into the Jingle Cruise. Hence, my festive outfit, which you’ll see later.

You may have seen our First Look… and now we are back for our full review of Magic Kingdom’s brand new Table Service eatery!
Welcome back to the Jungle Navigation Co., Ltd. Skipper Canteen!
With the exception, perhaps, of the arrival of Trader’s Sam’s Grog Grotto in Disney World last March, no new restaurant has met with as much anticipation as the Skipper Canteen since the opening of Be Our Guest Restaurant in 2012. But while Be Our Guest debuted as part of the all-new Fantasyland expansion, the Skipper Canteen finds its home in Magic Kingdom’s classic Adventureland. This land is also home, of course, to the Jungle Cruise, the beloved attraction on which the Skipper Canteen is based.
We enjoyed our first meal at the Skipper Canteen on its first day of soft openings, but today the restaurant officially opens to all Magic Kingdom guests. So, what better time to get to know this spot a little more?
