Its the Final Countdown!!!**Tag Team TR**LEAVEs FRIDAY!!!

[ILMICKEY]

Nice T-Rex Cafe shots.
What did you think of the food there?

We thought it was surprisingly really good.

The food was alright. My sandwich was supposed to be a Panini. You know a grilled, gooey cheesy mess?? It was just a cold deli sandwich. While I was eating it I noticed something hard in my mouth. I proceed to pull out a really long piece of plastic, it was the rind to one of the meats (probably the bologna). I told the waiter about it. He said it wouldn't hurt me that it was just the rind. I said I'm pretty sure I'm not supposed to eat it. He got the manager and I ate free!!

The Onion Rings were to die for!! YUMMY!

I loved my food, it was a lot to eat though, after the onion rings, the drink made my face real hot. i have never had that happen before which was weird.

judging by your mom's empty bowl, it WAS good enough to eat! I wanted ice cream really bad when I saw the pic of your chocolate cone!!!

the cone was goood too!!!

I just got a code this morning for 40% off so I'm trying to figure out a way to go alone!!!

I am the only person in the world who never gets a code!

Awesome update! I cannot wait to eat at T-Rex in April. And that Cotton-tini sure looks yummy. I cannot wait to gulp it down!! I love DTD.

Those are the first pictures I've seen of the inside of the T.Rex Restaurant. It does look uber cool. Does is have "storm" the way the Rain forest cafe does? That freaks out my kids.

There's a meteor shower every 20 minutes.
Meteors fly across the ceiling in the center of the restaurant and strike various other rooms like the ice cave.
The ice cave then goes from blue to purple, pink, and red.
It's really cool and the kids LOVED it.
The meteor shower also activates all the dinos and effects throughout the restaurant SOit gets loud but it's so much fun.

T-Rex was my kids' (6,4, and 2) favorite restaurant from the entire trip!
And like I said before, the food was better than expected!
As for pics, I have a couple of other ones in my trip report from November(see link below).

See post below haha there is a metor shower, but its not like lighting, if you looked up where we sat there were stars, and so it was cool when it when off cause you actually got to see what happened instead of just listening!

So we woke up early and got around for our breakfast with Pooh and gang at the Crystal Palace. Our reservation time was for 9:05 and we were running early, as usual so we thought we were okay. We got in line for the MK bus....

Time passed and passed and passed, the line got full full full. Then the bus finally came I think it was like 8:55. everyone hopped on, the buss was full and we saw this little girl, she had a disorder, and no one would get up so she could sit down, so i let her have my seat and she sat next to mom. She was soo happy she had a little gun from Pirates, and she kept shooting us, and shaking our hands and saying hi. And this little girl was just so happy it made everyone happy. She really did, she spread her disney magic all over us.
So we arrived at MK at like 9:04 but we stoped on out way back to take a couple pictures

But it was weird, they didn't even check our reservations before we walked in, we could of just been random people wanting to get in early, i thought that was weird. but back to our Trip report.

Crystal Palace was beautiful!

I loved all there little outfits Food was great too, heres what i had...

god im a fatty, the cheesy hashbrown thing was real good!!

heres moms plate

Then of course the characters started coming by. I liked the set up, you could still enjoy your meal and met them all!
piglet first.

Then Tiger

Then my favorite pooh

Then it was dance time, where they walk around with napkins, the kids really seemed to enjoy it.

So then I only needed one more. Eeyore.
Story time.. For those of you who didn't read our trip report, my grandma passed away with cancer 3 years ago. Her favorite was Eeyore, she loved him.

So Eeyore come walking around hes a table away and my mom looks at me and she said you know what you should do. And i read her mind, and instantly started crying, and then i had her crying, so i tried to control myself. Hugging Eeyore right then and there was like hugging a piece of my grandma, it was a little bit of Disney magic. He was so excited to see that he was on my shirt So this year for x-mas this picture will be found wrapped up laying next to her

Then Piglet came around one more time and mom got a picture...

Thats it for now... up next some Captain Sparrow love ​

I'm glad you enjoyed CP... I have been there twice and both were amazing. My most recent trip this past August was great beaceuse we had ressies at 8:05 so we got into the park at 7:45 and were able to take wonderful pics in front of the castle.

Anyways the characters at CP are always great... even with largers parties- there were 7 of us! Enjoying your TR so far!!

great update and pics.

that cotton candy tini was so good. I love the shaker you get with it.

again very nice pics.

 

[Disneyfan71]

Sorry I've been away for a while and have been missing your updates. I've already fallen in love with T-Rex and haven't been there yet. It looks amazing and from what I hear is very, very good.

And looks like you had a good time with Pooh and and rest of the gang

 

[b.head2008]

again very nice pics.

yah, i defiantly put that shaker to use, me and a girlfriend made our own cotton cosmo-tini, one of the fifths we bought was 35 dollars!!! made the 9.99 seem not to bad.

OK guys, I'm totally hijacking your TR for a moment!

So I actually got an email this morning with a PIN code for 40% off! It wasn't valid for the dates of our trip: 10/16 - 10/25. It was valid for 10/25 - 10/31 so I was like screw it, I'll change the dates. I called CRO, all excited about my discount (that only took me SEVEN trips to get) and the incredibly rude lady on the phone says "OK but your name is Alison..." I was like "yeah, it has been for 26 years now..." She goes "well this PIN code is for Stephanie." I was like "umm...that's my sister, and the email came to me." Sooo we went through this whole big thing and come to find out, they took MY account (which has 6 WDW trips booked under it) and linked it to my STEP-FATHER's account, which has ONE trip booked under it and that is how they got MY SISTER's name. They then used MY email address to send a discount code to my sister (keep in mind it comes addressed to the family so it's not like it said "Dear Stephanie" in the email). So I came home from work, called back and explained the whole issue again to another woman who was extremely nice. She put me on hold for a few minutes then comes back to tell me that her Manager approved her to apply the 40% to me. Of course, since we check in on 10/23 and the discount doesn't apply until the 25th, I needed to book two reservations. But, wait there's more! After all of this....the discount saved me a whopping 200 bucks.

OK, I'm done hijacking. You can have your TR back

 

[scottny]

how did the drink come out and how did you make it? maybe I will try it if it was good

Well aside from the rude CM, that's GREAT!! You deserve a code. It seems like it would have saved you more that 200$ though. Was that 40% off or is it different with a moderate? I'm so excited for you. I want to plan another one. I was thinking I might plan a fake one for something to do. My life just has no purpose unless I'm planning a Disney trip. I KNOW you know what I mean. Are you dressing up for the Halloween party??

 

[b.head2008]

To Simba:
Well good! 200 extra bucks for disney WHOOT WHOOT!

To Scotty (and anyone else)
We used X Rated Fuision (pink foggy bottle 30 something dollars)
Skky Passion Fruit Vodka
Cranberry Juice
And PINK cotton candy, dont used blue it turns the drink a ulgy color and makes your mouth turn the same,
Shake it in your Shaker turn on dino music and act like your at T REX!

 

[b.head2008]

MOM update so we can cont. PLEASE

 

[ILMICKEY]

MOM update so we can cont. PLEASE

Ummmmmmmm......lay off the Martinin's. I did. I commented on the plastic in my Sandwich and getting it free. GET WITH THE PROGRAM SISTA!

 

[b.head2008]

nothing about the animals at the kingdom

 

[ILMICKEY]

OH. OOKAY!!!

We saw animals at Animal Kingdom.

There were Giraffes

Hippos

Elephants

Tigers

Lions

and More.

We of course rode Everest. I also took Brandi to see ITTBAB. Hee hee, that was funny. You know, I really don't like the dinosaur ride. I find nothing fun about it at all.

Seeing John McCain was really exciting. I felt kind of bad for him so I didn't get an autograph. But what a place to celebrate defeat right?? He was just dancing away. Having a good ole time. He may or may not have been drinking.

As we were leaving Brandi got picked to do a survey. I was chatting with the CM while she was doing it. He said he was retired, but his wife made him work 2 days a week. WHAT BETTER PLACE!!! He was talking about a guy that has 4 weeks vacation from work, comes to Disney to work 1 week a year, then uses the benefits from that week for his other vacation time. Wait. I have 4 weeks vacation. Hmmmmmmm.

Okay Brandi, your up!!
