Skipper Canteen Opening This Week

... and we missed it by just a few days. Darn it!

The new Skipper Canteen restaurant at the Magic Kingdom is scheduled to open tomorrow, Dec. 16, 2015. And of course, we were at WDW till this past Sunday, so we are missing its opening by just a few days.

Oh well, what can you do?

Yak and Yeti Counter Service

Had lunch at this DAK location. Ordered the Korean stir fry chicken and the chicken curry chef special. Was not impressed. 

Chicken curry barely had any chicken. It was populated more chic peas. The curry sauce was bland, toned down for the masses, I'm sure.

The Korean stir fry isn't Korean. It is more of a sweet and slightly spicy chicken. It is what you expect at a Panda Express.

I'd rather go to Flame Tree. Probably won't be coming back to this place. And oh, they don't accept Apple Pay.

DAK

We are at Animal Kingdom
