T-rex cafe

Like dinosaurs? You’re definitely going to be interested in T-Rex Cafe, which opened today at Downtown Disney.

Like Rainforest Cafe? Then you’ve hit the daily double. No surprise since Landry’s Restaurants Inc. is behind both Rainforest and T-Rex. You’ll feel the vibe.

T-Rex is divided into distinct areas with their own decor, and diners can request where they’d like to sit. The idea is that it will be a different experience in Fern Forest than in your next trip in the Geo-Tech Room. Other areas are the Ice Cave, the Shark Bar in the Coral Reef Dining Room and the Sequoia Room.

We were told that you can see the meteor shower presentation from each area, but I’d have to guess that it’s best from the main Geo-Tech Room. On the other hand, it seemed louder in there and the Coral Reef, both in the front of the building. I’ll have to test the hypothesis that it’s quieter in the back (and carpeted) Fern Forest and Sequoia Room.

There are moving dinosaurs everywhere — many of them you can touch.
