T-Rex!

Often compared with the Rainforest Cafe, T-Rex is a sit down restaurant at Downtown Disney. 

The food we had was great, from appetizers to sandwiches, pastas and desserts, we had a great time.  In keeping with the spirit of the restaurant, there is a prehistoric cave, several different lifelike dinosaurs, and plenty of adventure to be had!  While this restaurant is noisy, it is also a great place to take boys for a special dinner or night out.  People like to draw attention to all of the princess-style attractions and meals for girls, and while girls might enjoy T-Rex (ours did); it is an even better experience for the little guys. 

I would issue one word of caution: If loud noises or large objects scare your little ones, you may want to ask if you can take a look around before deciding to dine, because as a sit-down restaurant, you'll probably spend an hour or more inside. 

Have you eaten at T-Rex?  What did you enjoy?

The 1st fireworks display at WDW took place at the official dedication of the Polynesian Village Hotel on Oct. 24, 1971.

On one of our recent trips, we went over to the Polynesian for a Dole whip and headed down to the beach to watch the Magic Kingdom fireworks one evening.  This is a great way to relax and spend some time on the beach, creating magical memories.

Each of the scenes in the Jungle Cruise attraction is taken from the True-Life Adventure Film Series that Walt Disney produced in the early 1960's.

As a shout-out to my husband and brother in law-they love that series from the 1960's. They will tell you it won them a heated game of Disney trivia once--and here's another fun fact--they cheated!

the red bricks on main street are to represent a red carpet to make you feel like you are entering/part of the show!

Oh the details!  How often do I tell you that it is in the details!  What makes Disney different from every other theme park on earth?  Probably a red carpet or something!
