Welcome back to the Mom's Panel, Kerri! All four of my children love both Rainforest Café and T-REX Café which offer themed settings with life-size animatronic animals! I do feel as if both of the Rainforest Café locations are equally good! I think dining at Rainforest Café for dinner after finishing your day at DIsney's Animal Kingdom Park sounds like a great plan!
If your kids also have their hearts set on experiencing T-REX Café, try calling the restaurant directly at (407) 828-8739. I have been unable to secure Advanced Dining Reservations through Disney Dining in the past and had success when calling the restaurant directly.
Rainforest Café is a participating restaurant on the 2012 Disney DIning Plan. Currently, there are many restaurants that normally participate in the Disney Dining Plan which have not been added to the
2013 Disney Dining Plan PDF online. The PDF will continuously be revised through the end of the year as many dining locations that are privately owned work out their contracts for the upcoming year. Rest assured, this is normal and actually happens every year. I would recommend following the link I have provided above to view the 2013 Disney Dining Plan PDF and checking it periodically for any new updates. I hope this information helps! Please don't hesitate to write me back with any additional questions. I hope you have a
Roaring good time at Rainforest Café and a
Magical Walt Disney World Vacation, Kerri!
Happy Planning,
Jodie
