I also have disliked Downtown Disney since Pleasure Island closed, although I find my position on this shifting as Disney Springs is taking shape and starting to look nice.

T-REX is by the same folks as Rainforest Cafe–Landry’s–which is also a restaurant group I strongly dislike (as anyone who has read my Yak & Yeti Review knows). With that said, for all of my love of dinosaurs, I also dislike Rainforest Cafe. Frankly, I am distrustful of anyone who doesn’t think it’s a good idea to reallocate all of the money we spend on “science” towards finding ways to bring back the dinosaurs. I can think of literally nothing at Walt Disney World that couldn’t be improved exponentially by the addition of copious amounts of dinosaurs. If I were ‘campaigning’ for a post with Imagineering, my platform would be “more dinosaurs” (and lasers). It would have been the highlight of my trip, and I would have evangelized to all of my friends back at school about “the most amazing restaurant ever,” imploring them to implore their parents to take a pilgrimage to this place that transcended its understated ‘restaurant’ label.Īs an adult, I am still an avid dinosaur enthusiast. My mind would have been blown so hard I probably would have had to go to the ER. Had this restaurant existed during my annual visits to Walt Disney World in the 1990s, I would have begged my parents to dine here. In case it’s not readily apparent, 8-year old “Lom” is me, circa 1993. Suffice to say, dinosaurs weren’t just an interest, they were a way of life. Virtually all money he earned from chores was used to purchase Jurassic Park playsets he made Jurassic parks out of LEGOs he even created an “extra credit” mural in school that consisted of painting various dinosaurs and writing facts about them underneath (banish the thought that he was a teacher’s pet–one teacher made the incisive comparison of him to Calvin from Calvin & Hobbes, which was probably not praise). After watching–and re-watching…and re-watching…and–this masterpiece, he became obsessed with dinosaurs. Meet 8-year old…let’s call him “Lom.” A fan of dinosaurs since first learning about them via some seriously awesome fruit snacks (and trading cards that came with them) that he consumed like they were one of the 4 food groups (back then, there were only 4 food groups!), he experienced an event that forever shaped the future of the United States: Jurassic Park debuted in theaters. To give some context to this review, I should probably introduce you to someone. However, it does offer a 10% Annual Passholder discount. T-REX is a 1-credit restaurant on the Disney Dining Plan, but does not accept Tables in Wonderland. The cuisine is primarily standard American fare that will appeal to a broad cross-section of guests ( menu). It is literally set in a prehistoric world, with meteor showers and giant prehistoric creatures including dinosaurs and Woolly Mammoth. As Landry's Select Club members, Brandon and I may have to go here a bit more in the future.T-Rex Cafe is a dinosaur-themed table service restaurant in Disney Springs at Walt Disney World that is aimed primarily at families with small children. While it's not a restaurant I'd go to all the time, I was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was at T-Rex Cafe. My family, especially my nephew and niece, really loved it. With a fun theme and decent special diets options, T-Rex Cafe makes for a great family-friendly choice for a meal in Disney Springs. I would definitely get this sandwich again.


I really loved the candied bacon, and the chicken was perfectly cooked. The portion was huge (enough to feed a dinosaur!), and the flavors were excellent. Overall, I was very pleasantly surprised by this sandwich. I opted for coleslaw since we were dining at lunch, and I didn't want something super heavy. But, there were a variety of sides I could get, like mashed potatoes, coleslaw, and seasonal vegetables.

The sandwich was gluten free, and I could have made it dairy free by omitting the cheese.īecause there is no dedicated fryer, I couldn't have the fries. Served on a gluten free & dairy free bun, it came with marinated chicken breast, candied applewood smoked bacon, swiss cheese (which is lactose free), lettuce, tomato, and mayo. On this visit, I opted to get the Paleozoic Chicken Sandwich.
