It's great to see you here at planDisney, Deborah! We must have a lot in common because I'm going to be at Walt Disney World Resort around the same time you are, and I'm also really excited to be making my plans. Did you see that the
holiday season will be starting right before you arrive? Christmas officially kicks off at the Most Magical Place On Earth on November 6 this year, so I hope you're ready to get festive!
Deborah, I'm pleased to tell you that
Rainforest Cafe at Disney's Animal Kingdom is currently open and taking reservations. If you're not finding dates for your upcoming trip, it may be because it's booked to capacity at the moment or you're checking outside of the restaurant's operating hours, which are currently 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. If you want to dine a little later, there is a second
Rainforest Cafe location at Disney Springs, which is open until 9 p.m. at the moment. If you can't find a table there at the time you want to dine or you're looking to try something new, you can also check out
T-REX which offers a similar immersive dining experience that's themed after the flora and fauna of the prehistoric world!
I hope this answers your question, Deborah, and please let us know if there's anything else we can do to help you plan your magical vacation.
Jessica
