New Disney Dining Show is....

[Mackenzie Click-Mickelson]

I don't have video but I'm pretty sure I posted a review at the time. But if I must go back and do it again, as long as Pete wants to pay for the trip, I volunteer.

Did you like it? We're going there next Saturday (as in the 9th of September).

I think crowds have gotten a bit better at skipper's Canteen once they added it to the ADR stystem - but still not as popular as it should be. We loved it - including our kids. They liked the food and fun drinks, etc

It is a bit pricy though - but guess you get what you pay for

DW and I enjoyed it. It's a great space, interesting menu, and well-prepared food. Service was very good and the CM interaction was great. Our server and the others we could see/hear were all really in character for the theme.

As for the food, we were impressed that it wasn't dumbed down for the mass audience. I had the noodle bowl and the server asked if I wanted it with or without jalapenos. I took it with and it was HOT. I don't expect that level of spice at a meal there. They didn't hold back with the seasonings at all. I think my wife had the grilled steak salad and really enjoyed it.

As for price, I don't think it was pricey by Disney standards. It was definitely more than we typically spend but we're normally all counter service, all the time, so we knew going it it would be the most expensive meal of the trip.

Maybe just because we went for lunch but it seemed pricier than typical meals for us - but yeah, all of Disney is expensive so just different factors

I guess I didn't think in terms of lunch vs. dinner but rather CS vs. TS.

We loved it - including our kids.

By the way, I didn't mean the food didn't have kid appeal. I meant that the location doesn't have the kid appeal that eating in Beast's Castle does, especially if you have a princess-obsessed little one.

Oh, yeah that is true. Though it does have fun CMs - and my kids loved be puns (I mean, we are sort of forceing them to) so they liked all the shenanigans as well

And if it was either/or for kids I do think more would prefer BOG just wanted to indicate our kids did like Skippers for people that might not be sure

That's good to hear. Appreciate the review .

So, Skipper's Canteen would be a good walk up restaurant with little wait most of the time?

Yeah - especially if you avoid the peak meal times (so go before noon/after 1 or befor 5/after 7) - but anytime probably won't be too much of a wait

We walked up. They said it would be a 40-minute wait and gave us a pager so we could go do stuff in the park (stayed in Adventureland) but it ended up only being about 20 minutes before the pager went off.
