Hi Karen
We are in Burnley, Lancashire so chris is not too far from us. You are about 2 hours away.

Oooh! - not too far then! We're up for it if you are!

If Heather and Chris are up for a meet perhaps we could meet up somewhere and have our own UK Dismeet

T-Rex at Downtown Disney Will Take Guests on a Dining Adventure to a Prehistoric Time when Restaurant Debuts in October

Walt Disney World guests will go on an adventure back in time to dine among the dinosaurs when T-Rex: A Prehistoric Family Adventure, A Place to Eat, Shop, Explore and Discover opens it doors by late October at Downtown Disney.
T-Rex, developed by Schussler Creative, Inc., and operated by Landry's Restaurants, Inc., features dining and retail in a 30,000-square-foot, 600-seat interactive prehistoric environment. The concept is built around water, fire and ice: Guests will be greeted with life-size animatronic dinosaurs that live among cascading waterfalls, bubbling geysers, a fossil dig site and much more.
Schussler Creative Chairman Steve Schussler, the founder of Rainforest Café and T-Rex restaurants, depicts the experience as "edutainment," noting that this "treat for all five senses" includes artifacts such as fossils -- all carefully labeled -- that are hundreds of millions of years old, carefully crafted animatronic dinosaurs, and even a meteorite found in Argentina.
A full-size skeleton replica of Argentinosaurus, one of the largest of the dinosaurs and copied from a museum specimen about 125 feet in length, looms over the entrance, joined by a Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton.
The theme carries over to the menu, which features items with names such as Caesarsaurus (Caesar salad), Raptor Ribs (Asian BBQ ribs), Pterodactyl Wings (Buffalo chicken wings), Triassic Tortellini (tri-colored cheese tortellini) and Gigantosaurus Burger (think really big hamburger!).
Menu choices range from starters (appetizers, salads and soups) to pastas, burgers and sandwiches to a broad selection of entrees plus desserts. Some favorites include rotisserie chicken, fried shrimp, steaks and ribs, tarragon chicken salad sandwich, Cobb salad and "Chocolate Extinction." Guests will be able to make reservations by calling 407/WDW-DINE.

Do you fancy driving over to this one Andy. Not to far

Do you fancy driving over to this one Andy. Not to far

I think that would be past my driving limit at the moment.

I'm waiting for the doc to call me in a new prescription for my "problem."

I have to drive to Florida in 4 weeks, so I've got to get my "problem" cleared up before then......

 

[Verandah Man]

Breaktime over, gotta get back to work now.......

The Californian Light House - names after the ship called Californian that sunk off shore

OK..perhaps someone can answer this one...what is the US obsession with lighthouses?

Cant remember where you live Cath? I remember Heather is London ish and Chris is Leeds ish, we're in the middle in Birmingham. If everyone is interested I'm definately up for it


Hi Karen
We are in Burnley, Lancashire so chris is not too far from us. You are about 2 hours away.

Need to be somewhere middleish, so that it doesn't take all day to get there. Birmingham is a good 2-3 hrs away.

Anything on below the t-shirt Heather???

That's for me to know and I'm not telling. Other than to say it was a very hot day, the heater was stuck on and not on cold!
