The kid is making a comeback.
Hello, Hola, Nin Hao, Bonjour, Ohayo, Ciao, Marhabaan, where
have you all been? Well, if you were a reader way back when, I’ll tell you that
life got in my way and I let it. Four years ago I stopped finding time to write
when I took a new job. I didn’t stop spending my vacation time at Disney, I
just stopped telling the world about it. If you will indulge me, I’d like to
try and talk about Disney with you again.
I’m only six months behind on talking about my last lovely
visit to Disney World. Back in October of 2016 I took a trip and tried the Jungle
Skipper Canteen. The Canteen is nestled in Adventureland a stone’s vigorous throw
away from the Jungle Cruise. It is a wonderful use of space and feels a little
like it could have been hiding back there all along. As with any Disney
restaurant there is so much detail your eyes could wonder for days.
My skipper was fantastic and I am ashamed to say I cannot remember her name but she played her part I did my best to play along with her. The part that owned me which is just a memory and no pictures were taken, she pulled a monkey puppet from outta nowhere and gave me a really fun hard time.

The interior lobby has a good amount of seating while waiting
for your Adventure to start. If you have the time to read about Alberta Falls
you will see she was one heck of a businesswoman.

As with everything the menu has some hidden items and is fun to explore.
For lunch there was just so much awesome looking stuff to
choose from. The menu had something for everyone. Everything is exotic yet
familiar so don’t let the tiny crew members be afraid. I tried the Himbasha
Bread with Honey dipping accoutrement…
Himbasha is a traditional Ethiopian
bread for celebrations and I celebrated the fact it was free… Also in the
picture because I am an adult and I wanted the souvenir mug is a Schweitzer
Slush which is an apple and passion fruit slushy with green apple boba balls on
top.
For an appetizer I tried the Sea Shu Mai, which is a shrimp
and pork goyza aka dumpling and yes, it was wonderful.
On to the entrée, I love lamb and they had
lamb so I tried the lamb. I love the blend of spices here “Grilled Lamb Chops
seasoned with North African Berber Spice Blends served with green lentil
stew”. If I had to have this every day
for a month, I think I would be ok with that.
Also long as I got to have a
“Kungaloosh!” with it. Some of you may remember the Adventurers Club but this
isn’t that Kungaloosh, no salute required, this is a chocolate cake with
caramelized bananas and cashew-caramel ice cream topped with coffee dust… yes
coffee dust. Who knew that was a thing?
All and all I would give my experience two thumbs up and to
support this family has an adventure scheduled already for our next trip down.
So if you endulged me today, thank you. I hope you enjoyed the pictures. Now for some extra news. I'm in the process of putting life in order and hopefully by the end of this year I'll be an Orlando resident. Wish me luck! Have a Magical Day!
