It is also not a floor to ceiling fish tank like the ones in the rainforest cafe and the fish are above a toddler's eye level so I had to pick her up for a close-up view. (Note: Each room does have an actual name but i don't remember what they are.) We were seated in the underwater themed room and my daughter enjoyed looking at the fish tank, however, you can not get a close up view without disturbing other diners if the restaurant is full because it is surrounded by tables. There is a room with lots of foliage and moving dinosaurs, a volcano/fire room where you can see lots of fire along the wall that the kitchen is behind, an underwater themed room where there is a fish tank and lots of pretty jellyfish and stuff hanging from the ceiling but no animatronic dinosaurs (this room is alongside the bar, which has the same theming), and an ice cave which changes color from red to blue every few minutes. The restaurant itself is divided up into several different sections. Our seater then had difficulty locating our table and led us all through the busy, crowded restaurant before she backtracked to find our table. Our seater was in training so it took her a good five minutes to get us and they kept calling for our party's "expedition" over the loudspeaker and even made a last call and asked us to raise our hands if we were in the area when in reality we had been standing in the holding area waiting the whole time. Seaters come to this area looking for their assigned "expedition." They are therefore pulling people out of the line from behind you and in front of you so it is basically just a holding area vs a line. I found this area to be very disorganized. They call multiple parties for their "expedition" at once so we had another short wait. Once they call your party, "The _ family expedition," you go to a second counter behind the one where you gave your name for a table to check-in. The actual time it took for our name to get called was 35 minutes so the wait time was pretty accurate. My two year old really enjoyed watching both of these things and wanted to try them herself but we were only there to eat on this particular night. If you choose a geode instead there is a device to smash your geode right next to the display where you buy your rock and again, an employee will come and help your child with the actual process. The bar area is kid friendly and the only drawback is that you are seated nearby where everybody is checking in for their table vs being totally immersed in the dinosaur restaurant, but there is no guarantee you will get a fabulous table even if you wait in line.) ![]() Had I seen it when we were first checking in and not when we went back after our name was called I probably would've taken them up on it. (Note: There was a small, easily missed sign on the podium stating "bar seating available immediately, no wait. When we got to the front of the line we were told it would be about 20-30 minutes so we decided to wait. ![]() Long enough, but I have seen it MUCH longer many of the times I have been in Downtown Disney so I was not scared away by it. There was a line to give your name for a table with about 10-15 people waiting in front of us in it. ![]() If you think that would be a slow time for this restaurant, guess again. We dined at T-Rex on a Monday evening around 7 pm. If you drive I recommend parking somewhere between the Marketplace Section (where the World of Disney and LEGO Store are) and Planet Hollywood (the restaurant inside the large blue ball with stars on it). If you are arriving on a Disney bus it is closest to the middle bus stops. T-Rex Cafe is located in the middle section of Downtown Disney, past where the LEGO store is but not quite to where the old Pleasure Island Section was. Keep in mind however, that the restaurant also gets a little dark at time and has a "show" that involves a loud meteor shower so if your kid does not like loud noises and darkness, this might not be the best restaurant choice for you. ![]()
