The Magic Kingdom will be expanding the availability of alcoholic beverages at the park’s table service restaurants.
Be Our Guest Restaurant was the first to offer alcohol when it opened in 2012, and now wine and beer will be available at Tony’s Town Square Restaurant, Jungle Cruise Skipper Canteen and the Liberty Tree Tavern. In addition, Cinderella’s Royal Table will be adding Champagne and sparkling wines.
Alcoholic beverages will be coming to the restaurants on December 23rd.
The Jungle Cruise Skipper Canteen at the Magic Kingdom is now taking advance reservations.
Initially the restaurant was only taking walk-up guests. The Skipper Canteen then switched to same-day reservations in February of this year. Reservations are available on My Disney Experience and 407-WDW-DINE.
The same-day reservations test continues at the Magic Kingdom’s Jungle Cruise Skipper Canteen following the original test period which ended on February 27th.
Reservations can be made at jungleskippercanteen.com or via 407-993-1933.
No word yet on when full reservations will be available. The restaurant is currently open daily for lunch and dinner.
The Jungle Cruise Skipper Canteen in the Magic Kingdom will be testing same-day reservations later this month.
The test will run from February 12th through February 27th. Guest will be able to make reservations at jungleskippercanteen.com or via 407-993-1933.
No word yet on when full reservations will be available. The restaurant is currently open daily for lunch and dinner on a walk-up basis.
The Jungle Cruise Skipper Canteen soft opened yesterday and will officially open on December 16th in Adventureland.
All service is on a walk-up basis only. No reservations are being accepted at this time, although is expected to change sometime in 2016.
The restaurant is open for both lunch and dinner, and perhaps surprisingly and unlike the most recently opened restaurant, Be Our Guest, the Skipper Canteen does not serve alcohol.

Disney has yet to release any official information on the restaurant yet, so remember, what follows should be treated as speculation until confirmed.
Located in Adventureland just across from the Tree House, the restaurant will be table service for both lunch and dinner, with entrees averaging around $15 and desserts $8.
Capacity is expected to be approximately 220 guests, that will be split into multiple rooms. The main dining room will be the Mess Hall, with other smaller dining rooms leading from that central area, including reportedly one dining room that will be hidden behind a bookcase which once served as a secret meeting room of the famed Society of Explorers and Adventurers. There is also a Schweitzer family dining room, separate from the Mess Hall.
The menu is expected to be inspired by the rivers of the world, with an emphasis on African, Asian and South American cuisine. Menu items include Char sui Pork, Steak with Yuca Fries, Stir Fy, Falafel with a Cucumber Salsa, Pineapple Coconut Cake.
As you would expect from the name, there will be nods to the Jungle Cruise throughout, and servers will be dressed in the same costume as the Jungle Cruise skippers.
Two signature cups will be available for purchase with signature drinks including the Punchline Punch and Schweitzer Slushie.
Still no word yet on an opening date, but it will begin offering walk-ups only later in December, with reservations available following the initial walk-up only dining.
