I've been watching in a lot of spots and haven't seen anything yet. Hoping to have dinner there for our January trip.
Not sure how true this is but I've read there was a problem with the changes in wiring and the opening is being delayed from November to December. Haven't seen anything officially stating that though.
Is it true what I am hearing that this is going to be an Asian Cuisine restaurant??? God, I hope they have other stuff on the menu, too. I would like to experience this.
Latest rumblings are a December 10 opening with a soft opening during the week before. I'm still stalking the dining website for January but nothing yet.
Thanks !! We will be there at the end of December and since the Jungle Cruise is my all time favorite ride, it's fitting to eat where the Skippers do !! haha !!
Has anyone heard any updates?
I kind of though they would announce something today, with it being the 1st...but, no..
The sign is visible!
Still being predicted that it will open in December.
Well, we'll be there from the 15th thru the 22nd...so still hoping!
I find it odd that there is no news regarding this opening as well & it sounds like the crowds ar e already starting to swell missing a major cash grab for WDW. I also read that the menu will be more "exotic" than the usual burger fries routine
today the orlando sentinel ran an article saying they were doing a cast member preview this sunday, with soft openings to follow--potential earliest opening Dec 13, latest Dec 20!!
Yea!!! 'm monitoring My Disney Experience for ADR's!
Is there an official menu for this yet ?
Cast member preview is confirmed for Dec 6th. Soft opening to follow. WDW Dining should have it on their reservations list by Dec 18th, but I'd check as early as next Monday or Tuesday.
There are some saying this will be counter service for lunch, even though it was first reported to be table service all day.. but I don't see that confirmed and I doubt it's counter service. I can't find anything about the menu except the chef has said Asian fusion, African a bit like Boma. Take this however you'd like, but a sommelier (Victoria Thompson) is listed on the staff. See the picture below, I took that screenshot right from the WDW website. Victoria was previously listed as area manager and sommelier at Jiko.
This restaurants themed dining areas sound great. For instance, there will be a Crew Mess Hall and even better, a secret meeting room of the "Society of Explorers and Adventurers". Kongaloosh!
We will be there starting on Wednesday (9th). Hoping to take advantage of a soft opening sometime during our stay.

Walls are down and they're taking walk ups today!! The DCL twitter blog (theDCLblog) is posting photos and menus, also they accept TIW!
$25 for lunch? :eek: I'm not even sure what some of this stuff is. :funny:
I saw the menu and honestly think it is pretty bad. There are only a couple things I'd order but they are SUPER overpriced to the point where I would have a hard time justifying it. I know Disney is expensive, but this is like Signature Dining level pricing for what seems to be kind of ordinary dishes, from a cooking standpoint. A basic grilled steak served with Yucca (the cheapest carb in Latin America) and avocado slices is $34!!! Please. $23 for a bowl of Pho???
Pass.
