A few months ago, we reported that menu changes were coming to the Jungle Cruise-themed Skipper Canteen Restaurant at the Magic Kingdom in an attempt to make establishment more desirable to more guests. Rather than rip the menu to shreds, Disney instead made reservations available to the restaurant just as they do any others and … Read more
The Tomorrowland Terrace has had a tumultuous history at the Magic Kingdom. It has typically been closed seasonally for most of the last 20 years, reopening for filler table service a few times, or as the often despised “noodle station” which infamously served nearly inedible fast-food Asian cuisine that would make Panda Express seem like … Read more
