![]() ![]() The experience starts with a chance to select your dinosaur or whatever other creature happens to be available. This is awesome because fellow writer Maggie gifted my little ones with some Build-a-Bear gift cards, and we were able to redeem them at the Dino-store! If you have a member of your travel party who is not a dino fan, fear not! There are also classic Build-a-Bear options available. The Dino-Store is essentially a dinosaur-centric Build-a-Bear Workshop. We started our visit to T-REX with a trip to The Dino-Store. If you live in or around a major city, it is likely that you can find a Landry’s-owned restaurant near you as well including well-known fine dining establishments such as Del Frisco’s or Morton’s. The group also owns Rainforest Cafe with locations in Animal Kingdom and Disney Springs and Yak and Yeti in Animal Kingdom. It also offers rewards points for members who present the card when they visit a Landry’s Restaurant Group establishment. The Landry’s Select Club membership costs $25 and offers a $25 reward and a $25 birthday reward redeemable in the restaurant. You might not be seated immediately, but you will have a significantly shorter wait. It’s owned by Landry’s Inc., which offers a Landry’s Select Club membership card that can get you priority seating at any Landry’s restaurant without a reservation. If you want to avoid the overload of the Chocolate Extinction when ending your meal, T-Rex also serves a respectable Florida key lime pie.Like some of the other dining spots, T-REX is not owned by Disney. When I am feeling less hedonistic I have also enjoyed the bright flavors of the Tribal Tacos filled with blackened fish with cilantro, red cabbage, pico and an avocado cream sauce which are complimented by savory black beans and rice on the side. Unfortunately the shellfish has since become more of a passing acquaintance with the dish, rather than a regular inhabitant. When I originally tried the ravioli it included generous morsels of lobster in the sauce. My personal favorite is the luxurious Mammoth Mushroom Ravioli, which is served in a lobster cream sauce with tomatoes and spinach along with a crusty chunk of bread to mop it up. My husband's red meat cravings have been thoroughly satisfied by both the burgers and steak on the menu. When our family goes to a restaurant, my husband and I predictably choose the meals we miss eating the most because of the adaptions I've made to our menu at home due to my son's food allergies. While he definitely likes the food, the kiddo gets more excited by the prehistoric atmosphere and the simple thrill of being able to eat out together. He adores the Discovery Blast, a multicolored slushie served in a novelty bone shaped tube that may be taken home. My son typically eats the Fire Roasted Rotisserie Chicken with a simple side such as potato chips or fruit. On our latest visit, one of our party chose the Footprints Flatbread, which resembles a thin crusted pizza topped with chicken, multiple cheeses, caramelized onions, balsamic vinegar and fresh basil, as a somewhat overwhelming meal by itself. Other appetizers are just as substantial. My husband dives into the meaty Colosso Nachos, a well executed version of the bar staple he subsisted on in his twenties. My son isn't the only one in our family who enjoys eating at T-Rex. ![]()
