I hope our Downtown Disney gets this too. We did get a Rainforest Cafe so since this is the same company maybe will we get one too. I would love to eat in a place like this.:) This came from Disney News.


Two life-size dinosaurs will grace the outside and dozens more robotic dinosaurs will decorate the interior of the T-Rex restaurant and store under construction at Downtown Disney.

The restaurant, slated to open next fall in Downtown Disney's Marketplace section, will be the second in a new chain designed by Steven Schussler, who created Rainforest Cafe, and developed in partnership with Landry's Restaurants. The 30,000-square-foot project, much larger than the Kansas City, Kan., prototype, will include a cocktail bar, a 3,500-square-foot retail shop and enough educational and entertaining decor to qualify as an attraction, Schussler said.

"We've got over 35 different dinosaurs on the inside, a quarter of a million dollars in fossils embedded in the men's room and ladies' room, with educational comments so you can learn about them. Most of that stuff in there is literally 45 [million to] 80 million years old," Schussler said.

I'm sorry, I am a bit confused... is this going in Florida or California?

Florida, according to the TRexCafe website (http://www.trexcafe.com/Main/Findus.html). :( for me, :) for our Florida cousins.

Thanks for clarifying. It would be wonderful to get one here.... at my house. Forget Downtown Disney... I would be the coolest mom ever (until he became a teenager)

It was originally supposed to be open when we go to WDW next year, but it's been pushed back to the end of the year. I really wanted to go there.:(
