Along with some of Disney’s most popular (and hard to reserve) table-service dining locations, the Magic Kingdom is home to a couple of restaurants that tend to fly under the radar, like the Plaza Restaurant on Main Street, U.S.A. and Jungle Navigation Co LTD Skipper Canteen in Adventureland.
To find one of the best “not so secret” menu items around, we need to head into Adventureland to the Jungle Cruise-inspired eatery. With theming devoted to the nearby attraction and the lore of S.E.A. (Society of Explorers and Adventurers), dining at the Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen is a unique experience in itself.

In addition to favorite entrees like the “Tastes Like Chicken, Because It Is,” noodles, salads”Hardy Har Char” Siu Pork and more, Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen serves up Pão de Queijo, or Brazilian cheese bread. It is not listed on the regular menu, but it is certainly something you might want to order during your next visit.
Brazilian cheese bread is not new to Walt Disney World altogether. In fact, it is one of the most popular snacks for Guests “tasting their way around the world” during the annual EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. If your visit falls outside of the festival season, you can now rest assured that Brazilian cheese bread is also served in the Magic Kingdom!
