SUMMARY: Books at Jungle Navigation Company Skipper Canteen secret room
I've been to Walt Disney World only twice--once 2 years back and once this past couple of weeks. Not nearly enough time to see and do everything. (Compare to Disneyland plus California Adventure, which is much smaller, although jam-packed--and I've been there more than a couple dozen times.)
One of our always-must-do rides at both Disneyland (Cal.) and Magic Kingdom (Fla.) is the Jungle Cruise. Terrible puns and other jokes all the way through, and we love it.
This visit, my seester booked us for lunch at the highly recommended Skipper Canteen at the Jungle Navigation Company Ltd. It continues the Jungle Cruise ethos for those of us who can't get enough. The waitperson told us, "If you're familiar with the Jungle Cruise ride, we're nothing like that. Would you like me to point out some things on our menu? Well, here's some printing, here's some more printing, here's the paper it's printed on..."
Luck placed us into the secret library meeting room of the S.E.A., and we had a chance to peruse some of the titles on their massive bookshelf doors that hide the room (although they were wide open at all times). They include some real titles but mostly lots of in jokes and world of Disney references. I can't begin to identify what a lot of them are, but just the titles of many should be entertaining for even the uninitiated.
Here are the ones I had time to photograph. Among them are;
- Book by Dr. Albert Falls, after whom the famed Schweitzer Falls are named
- A trilogy of waterfalls: "Exploring Great Waterfalls," "Standing on Great Waterfalls," and "Surviving Falls from Great Waterfalls"
- Another nonfiction trilogy starting with Born Into the Jungle
- "Reasonable Expectations" by Charles Skippens
- and more.
(Here's another fan's post with other titles and lots of explanations.)
