Disney Dining Friday - T-REX Cafe

My husband and I were fortunate enough to check out this restaraunt when it first opened in 2008.  Daddy F was a bit excited as he had a slight obsession with Dinosaurs growing up. Let me say straight up, this  place did not dissapoint!

T-REX is owned by Landry's, the same super chain that owns Rainforest Cafe, and it has a similar ambiance. Dim lighting with eye catching light shows and amazing animatronics are sure to make for an eventful meal.

When you first walk in the door you are greeted by a giant roaring T-Rex. The bar area is engulfed by a giant octopus (with moving tentacles!) and many glowing jellyfish that seem to be floating in air.

There are several different rooms that you can be seated in all with their own theme. The Ice Room is a favorite with many families as it glows blue and changes different colors during the "meteor shower" every 30 mins.

Bronto Burger

 The food here was actually really good! I was expecting it to be along the same lines as the Rainforest where I have been disappointed many a time but was happily surprised by my feast (and I mean feast, the portions are GIANORMOUS!!).

Lost World Chicken Salad Sandwich

Fire Roasted Rotisserie Chicken

With a typical American menu, you can expect to see things such as, burgers, chicken salad, pasta, and some amazing desserts!

Chocolate Extinction 

All in all I would say this is a great experience. It may not be the best for young children. I haven't taken my little ones yet but I know they were afraid the last time we went to Rainforest Cafe.  I can tell you that this place is VERY popular so advanced reservations are highly recommended. Although it is offered on the dining plan (1 table service point) you will have to call the restaurant directly to get your reservations - (407) 828-TREX (8739).
