It's official, the  'Jungle Navigation Co., Ltd. Skipper Canteen' is the name of the new restaurant coming to the Magic Kingdom's Adventureland.

Opening in the space of the former Adventureland Veranda, the Skipper Canteen will allow guests to experience “World Famous Jungle Cuisine” in one of several unique dining rooms – including a crew mess hall and a once-hidden secret meeting room of the famed Society of Explorers and Adventurers. The restaurant will also be staffed by Jungle Cruise Skippers, so expect their own unique brand of humor to be served up with each dish.

Both lunch and dinner table service will be inspired by the flavors of Africa, Asia and South America.

The restaurant is currently under construction, with an opening in late 2015.

Jungle Navigation Co., Ltd. Skipper Canteen was officially announced at the 2015 D23 EXPO's 60 years of the Jungle Cruise presentation, taking place in Anaheim California.

I like the sound of this: "once-hidden secret meeting room of the famed Society of Explorers and Adventurers."

If it opens late in the year they may not even offer ADRs at the start.
