Rainforest Cafe - no dinner?

[Rubygoose]

I just tried to make dinner reservations online for Rainforest Cafe and it looks like they don't offer any times after 3:35. Are they no longer serving dinner?

Did you select "dinner" or a time?

Tried to, but the the list only says "Breakfast" and "Lunch" and gives times until 3:30. I tried looking at earlier dates, and they too only list Breakfast and Lunch times. I'm wondering if this is a glitch or if they are no longer serving dinner?

I think Rainforest Cafe might be one of the DtD locations that you need to book directly with for dinner reservations.

(714) 772-0413

ETA: Yep. From Disney's website: "Online reservations can only be made for breakfast or lunch. To make reservations for dinner, please call (714) 772-0413."

Good call, I remember reading that somewhere else.

Quick story; last April we went to the DTD Rainforest cafe for lunch. When we approached the kiosk with no reservation we were asked if we were a Landry's member. No. She said it would be a 45 min wait, do you still want to eat? Yep. "Check back in 15 mins" she says. I went back in 15 minutes, she said "OK, we'll get you in as soon as we can". 5 minutes later we were seated.

You have to call them directly. I've eaten there on a Disney trip and then even on a business trip. I don't think you can do it online unless something's changed. I called them the day before Veteran's Day and got a ressie for 6:30.

Three things- 1- You do have to call them directly, but it may be that they don't take reservations for dinner possibly? I haven't called to make my reservations yet, but hopefully they will allow you to make them! When you find out will you update us so we know for future as well?
2- Add yourself to their email list and use a family member to put it under that has a birthday before you go. I signed up because we are eating there in December and my birthday is in July and they sent me a coupon for a free kids meal (SCORE since we are eating with a kiddo) or a chef's choice appetizer as long as you buy an adult entree (we are traveling with 3 adults so that isn't a problem). I looked at the email and there is NO expiration so I am printing it out and saving it for December hopefully you can do the same!
3- Its worth looking at the Landry's club to join as well- it costs you $25 (not a year, just one time) and you immediately get $25 to use within a year of getting your card. You accumulate points at RFC as well as other places, can get a discount at the retail parts as well. Plus the month of your birthday (my mom is in December so the card is going in her name) you get $25 to spend every year- so for $25 we are getting $50 to spend on RFC- total SCORE!! If you can work it out so you go within the timeframe of one of your members birthday month (or I believe two weeks after the month) you can get a killer deal on your dinner there which if you have 3-4 people or get a dessert will easily hit $50 or more. GL and let us know how the ressie worked for you!

Thanks! I didn't see this when I tried to make the reservation. I guess I'll just call them. It's so much easier booking online, though.

I had this same question back in May. You do have to call for Dinner reservations. It was quick and easy though.
