T-Rex restaurant opens in Downtown Disney
Filed Under News
The T-Rex restaurant has opened in Downtown Disney and I was really looking forward to visiting, until I read John Frost’s review over at The Disney Blog:
When you go to Rainforest Cafe, you feel like you’re actually in the rain forest and all the animatronic devices are well hidden. Even the wires, cables, lights sprinklers are hidden too. Whereas at T-Rex, all that is clearly visible. So the verisimilitude is missing. This makes you feel like you’re at a restaurant instead of adventuring with Dinosaurs.
The end result is our five year old has no desire to return. That’s pretty much their target market. However, judging by the lines and the uniqueness of the audience (mostly one time visitors), I don’t think they’ll be hurting for business. Plus Downtown Disney really needed the extra dining seats.
Hmm… doesn’t sound so good right? Of course we don’t have five-year-olds in our party but I was hoping for a more positive review than that. If you’ve eaten in the restaurant then I’d love to hear from you - post your thoughts in the comment box at the end of the article.
The guys at Orlando Attractions Magazine were at the Grand Opening and caught it on video which I’ve included for you below:

It’s definitely a bad sign if you can’t get a 5 year old excited about a T-Rex!
