Table service

T-REX

The short answer

The dinosaur-themed restaurant in the Marketplace at Disney Springs, from the company behind Rainforest Cafe: animatronic dinosaurs including a 15-foot T. rex, ice caverns, and a meteor shower every 20 minutes. Fifteen mains average $33.96 on Disney's own menu in September 2026. Built for children; the food is secondary. Takes the Disney dining plan.

Is it worth the money?

For families with dinosaur-mad children, yes — it is one of the most elaborate themed rooms at Walt Disney World. For adults on their own, no.

The theming is the meal. Disney describes color-changing ice caverns, a fern forest with giant wasps, meteor showers, "fiery explosions" and life-sized animatronic dinosaurs, including a 15-foot T. rex. There is also a dig-for-fossils Paleo zone and a Dino Store. Disney Food Blog, June 2025, timed the meteor shower at every 20 minutes and liked the build-your-own-dinosaur shop.

The food is familiar and uneven. Disney Food Blog found the rotisserie chicken dry and the apple crisp short on crumble, and recommended it for families rather than anyone after quiet or sophisticated food.

On the dining plan: Disney's own listing tags T-REX for both the 2026 and 2027 table-service plans, and Disney Food Blog's 2027 list agrees.

Who it’s right for

Families with young children who love dinosaurs. Anyone who wants a theme-park-style room without park admission. Dining plan users, in 2026 and 2027.

Who it’s wrong for

Adults without children. Anyone wanting a quiet meal. Anyone whose small children scare easily — the meteor showers and roars are loud.

Disney bands it $$, "$15 to $34.99 per adult". The mains average of $33.96 sits just inside it.

Portions

Large, family-sized plates; the Boneyard Buffet and Triassic Trio are samplers built for big appetites. Disney Food Blog found the fries under its rotisserie chicken went soggy.
