There are several distinct dining areas in the restaurant. Our dino build experience distracted the kids from asking to look in the shop. You will also notice a gift shop that is separate from the Dino-Store and filled with T-REX t-shirts and toys. There is a dig site play area out front to amuse smaller Guests while their families wait for their seats.Īs soon as you enter the restaurant (via red carpet), you will notice a bar with an impressive Coral Reef aquarium filled with fish. The building itself incorporates a T-rex skeleton. It is stocked with in-your-face dinosaur goodness. T-REX is certainly not subtle in its theming. Bits, on the other hand, makes some appearances now and then, but he definitely is not the preferred critter in my son’s room. She also makes regular appearances in play at home. Dot had to accompany us on the rest of our adventures for the week and got to meet many characters and go on some attractions too. If you wonder whether your Dinosaur will be loved forever or will end up being yardsale fodder, your mileage may vary. Our little ones wanted to carry their dinos with them in their arms anyway. Supply issues meant that the Dino-Store was out of boxes during our visit, but that was okay. Ours were dubbed “Dot” the pink apatosaurus and “Bits” the blue-well we aren’t sure what he is. The final step is naming your dinosaur, giving it a birthday, and printing your birth certificate. In the end, they decided that dinosaurs don’t need clothes. My two did not like the look of any of the styles on their particular dino pals. Our Cast Member friend helped to show us what would fit best on each particular dino. Dot, my daughter’s 4-legged friend could only fit into very limited options because of her design.
I will say that it is harder to find clothing to properly fit a dinosaur than it is to find clothing that fits teddy bears. Once that was done, it was time to select clothes and accessories for the dinos.
After that, the kids could take them to a sort of grooming station to pretend to bathe and brush them and blow them dry. Next, the cast member stitched up the dinos. My kiddos did not add sounds to their dinos. This is also when you would add sounds if you wanted them. There is also a special little heart “ceremony” that the Cast Member did with each of the kids. Once the dinos met the fluffiness specifications, it was time for a very important step: selecting a heart. They could then add more fluff if they wanted. Afterward, they got to squeeze their dinos to check whether they were at the right level of huggability. She let my little ones control the food pedal and she did the rest. Once you select your critter, it is time to fill it with fluff! A Cast Member came to the station to assist with filling our new friends with fluff. They are floppy plush skins that are ready to be stuffed. 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. Like some of the other dining spots, T-REX is not owned by Disney.
