Hi Lisa!
Thanks for visiting the Moms Panel with your great question.
At this time of year, we receive many questions about dining locations around Walt Disney World not yet being listed on the upcoming year's Disney Dining Plan brochure. This happens every year, and it is simply because many of the non-Disney-owned restaurants have not yet finalized their 2013 contracts with Walt Disney World with regards to the Dining Plan. If you look at the 2012 Dining Plan Brochure and compare it to 2013, you'll notice that many locations are currently missing, as was the case at this time last year on the 2012 brochure. This is often most evident in looking at and comparing the Downtown Disney Table-Service restaurant listing, since most restaurants there are owned and operated by outside companies. Once these
missing restaurants' contracts are finalized, they'll be added to the official listing for the Disney Dining Plan.
I would be
very surprised to see Rainforest Cafe's two locations
not on the Disney Dining Plan for the upcoming year since they're currently a popular part of the plan. Keep checking the
2013 Disney Dining Plan listing over the coming weeks and I'm quite confident that you'll see the document will be updated to include both the Animal Kingdom and Downtown Disney locations of Rainforest Cafe.
Feel free to write me back closer to the time of your trip and I'll be pleased to check on the information directly for you if it has still not been added. I look forward to hearing from you again soon with any additional questions you may have.
Wishing you a simply Magical time as your anticipate your upcoming Walt Disney World vacation Lisa!
