Hi there, Nykyta!
Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your Build-A-Dino question! I see you’ll be arriving in April, and that’s just around the riverbend! My girls absolutely love the Build-A-Dino experience. There’s just something so special about picking out the perfect dino, stuffing it with extra hugs, giving it a heart, and then dressing it up in the fiercest outfits. Plus, it makes for an unforgettable souvenir to bring back to your own Dino Institute at home!
Now, let’s dig into your question! Typically,
Build-A-Dino at
T-REX does accept Build-A-Bear gift cards, but after chatting with a friendly Cast Member, I learned that the system that allows for gift card payments is currently down. Unfortunately, that means they aren’t able to accept them at this time, and there’s no timeline for when it might be back up and running. I know that’s probably not the news you were hoping for, but I definitely recommend checking back with
T-REX restaurant as your trip gets closer—things in the prehistoric world can change quickly!
While you’re in
Disney Springs, be sure to explore all the dino-mite shops, entertainment, and delicious food offerings! If you’re looking for a sweet treat that’s as legendary as the dinosaurs themselves, my family highly recommends
Gideon’s Bakehouse—but be prepared, their cookies are as big as a meteorite!
Nykyta, I hope this helps answer your question! If you have any more, don’t hesitate to visit us again.
See you real soon,
Christina
