T-Rex Restaurant Downtown Disney

When you visit Disney Village another cool place to eat is the T-Rex Restaurant.  It's design is similar to the Rain Forest Cafe which I wrote about in a previous post.  While the Rain Forest is about wildlife and Saving The Planet, the T-Rex is devoted to the Jurassic and paleolithic periods in earth's history and is based on dinosaurs. 

When you enter you are greeted by a life-sized T-Rex standing commandingly in the middle of the place.  He moves and makes noises.  The kids will love it and parents will find it fascinating as well.  The bar is to the left is colorful and full of atmosphere topped by a giant octopus.    We don't sit at the bar but go to the dining room which is filled with dinosaurs of all kinds.  My kids are getting into the teen years and still enjoy the atmosphere.  It's always a great show when we go there and I think I'll like it when I'm old.  The food is always good.  The prices are similar to the Rain Forest Cafe and the service is always topnotch.

                                         

You will sit in one of several dining room settings to include the bar area, the Ice Cave, or the Savannah Room.  I like the Ice Cave the best because it actually presents a cool atmosphere and the walls change color from blue to red to white. Nonetheless, all the seatings are good and there's not a bad seat in the house.  You and your young ones are encouraged to walk around the restaurant and see everything because the architecture and characters are worth seeing.  The staff is friendly and well-versed in customer service so you will be well taken care of while you are there.  Check out the Disney Dining Plan while you are there if you buy into these things.  It comes out to about a 10% savings after multiple trips.  Some folks like these deals but I usually don't get into them.

And don't forget the gift shop.  You can't walk into anywhere in Orlando without exiting through a gift shop!  It's more interesting for the tourists than the locals because you find gift ideas you don't find back home.

Dinner for four was about $100.00 out the door so not cheap but it's worthwhile to do it from time to time or if you know you won't be back til next year.  I can tell you with confidence that you will enjoy the experience.  Thank you till next posting!!
