Hi Lyndell,
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! Thanks for sending us this excellent question!
My youngest still cherishes his "Knuffle Dino" from the
Build-A-Dino® By Build-A-Bear Workshop® at T-REX™. I remember how magical an experience this was for my son. He was very young and in absolute awe that a dinosaur was being built right in front of his eyes. I'm quite certain that your budding paleontologist will enjoy constructing a special friend there too.
You might be happy to hEAR that I personally called
T-REX ™ on your behalf. They have confirmed to me that at this time, Build-A-Bear™ Gift Cards are a perfectly acceptable form of payment for any purchases made at a Build-A-Dino®. Not only that, but any Build-A-Bear™ Bonus Club reward certificates can be used at Build-A-Dino® too. Isn't that magical news?
The above being said, there is always that remote possibility that a change in policy takes place between now and the time of your visit. I suggest checking the fine print of any gift card(s) or coupon(s) for expiration date(s) and exclusion(s) (if any). Alternatively, simply call the restaurant directly at (407) 828-TREX or (407) 828-8739.
Disney Mom Tip: If dining at T-REX ™ during your visit, do request the spectacular "Ice Cave" sitting area. There is a T-Rex skeleton encased inside the frozen cave wall, and the lights periodically change color creating a dazzling effect!
I hope you found this information useful, Lyndell. Please visit us again with more Disney vacation planning questions. We will help you discover the true
Power of Magic!
