@camaker you had way too much fun writing that post. It was puntastic.

SAFD: My vote goes to Skipper’s. We’ve had only positive experiences there, and Jungle Cruise is one of DH’s very favorite rides. I think we need to try Les Halles again, though, because I think we’ve only been there once.

SAFD: Skipper (still haven’t tried Les Halles but this has convinced me I should probably make a visit)

I just got a baguette yesterday. Les Halles all the way.

SAFD: Skipper Canteen is the best restaurant in MK, and gets my vote. I love the theming, and every time I go I discover something new. The books in the library have the best titles.

SAFD: Les Halles. I just did not know what I wanted for lunch after the Princess half and decided on Les Halles, going with one of their sandwiches. It was light which is what I wanted, and it was tasty. I followed that up with a chocolate eclair

SAFD: I’ll give this one to Skipper’s - I haven’t actually eaten there since pre-2020, but they really came through for me this past Halloween when I joined friends who were there for dinner for a badly-needed sangria, sipped through a straw sticking out of my mask.

A lot of those books, props and artwork are from the Adventurer's Club.

SAFD: Skippers! Love the food, the theming, and the CM's that work there. Being able to get an alcoholic beverage in MK doesn't hurt either!

 

[Erika10021]

SAFD: While I like both, I have to give it to Les Halles.

 

[GuinnessRunner]

SAFD: Have to give it to Skipper's Alberta runs a great restaurant and gathering place for the S.E.A.

SAFD:
I really like both. But my vote has to go to Skipper Canteen. Fantastic theming, really fun servers and good food. However the baguette I ate from Les Halles last week made this vote difficult!

 

[MissLiss279]

SAFD: Skippers Canteen!

 

[accm]

SAFD: I really want to like Skippers Canteen, but the last few times I ate there the food was mediocre. On the other hand, Les Halles is such a pain to eat at, with consistent long lines and no mobile ordering. I'll have to give it to Les Halles though, since I've never had anything that wasn't great from there.

We have never ate at Skipper Canteen before. Our family is not big sit down meals people when we are at WDW. We are usually grab and go so we can get on our next ride. But in May, it's just going to be my wife and I headed down for the weekend before my work conference at Universal. Based on everyone's feedback here, just booked a lunch for us at Skipper Canteen. Looking forward to it.

Well, potentially some good news today. I haven't been able to run since a badly strained hamstring led to a DNF of the MW marathon ~10 weeks ago. After a lot of rest, light walking and stretching/strengthening exercises, I've gotten the green light from my PT to start easing back into running this weekend. There's a good deal of anxiety and reluctance to trust the leg at this point, so fingers crossed it goes well.

Good luck with it. Slow ramp back up is the way to go.
