Kevin, are you gonna give it a try? C'mon and say you are! We all need a good laugh! I think this place would be great for you to wear your camo and tree leaves jump suit, you know, so you are invisible to t-rex! ::yes::

I got a segment idea! :idea: How about sending a correspondent to the restaurant to call in "live" while you tape the show so we can hear the "Jurassic park" ambiance! :thumbsup2

;)

ETA:
BTW~ If anyone is gonna get picked to join Kevin it should be me..... I have a 6, 4, 3, and 2yo. We all know how much he enjoys meals with children. :rotfl:

Oh or what about Corey and Julie they can practice dinning out with kids! I'll supply the sanitizer :rotfl2:

I nominate Wildeoscar. ('Don't call me T' Rex).


Even easier - How about Kevin justs sings "Bang a Gong" on the podcast?? :teeth:
 
I actually can not wait to go. We will be there in a month and we are gonna celebrate my sons 4th birthday a little early at T Rex. I saw they had ribs and he loves ribs so we are in. It does look a little scary now that I have seen it. Lets hope all goes well.
 

Hmmm...big dinosaurs, probably crappy food. Let me know how it all goes.
 
:flower3: Kevin--if you need a couple people to join y'all there this weekend or next week...call us.
 
I went to the T-Rex in Kansas City a couple weekends ago while in town for the NASCAR race. I found it to be a fun idea, but waaay too much like the Rainforest Cafe in the look and feel. Hopefully, for the WDW location, they will put some better original creative ideas into it. =)

I'd like to think with a Rain Forest Cafe no more than 100 yards away in DTD it will have more original and creative ideas.
 
We leave tomorrow for our trip.:woohoo:

We don't have an ADR but are going to try to get in at some point, pending our schedule. If we do, I will post about our experience....including some food porn.

Nobody has an ADR for T-Rex so everyone is on equal footing. Good luck.

Take a look at these pictures and let us know how they compare to Kansas!

We will be there the week of Christmas too and are for sure going to try to get in! My kids love the Rainforest and this looks to be right up our alley.
 
Thanks for the Flickr photo link. Those photos looked really fun. Not sure if my two girls are up for it, but they do like Dinos - just not real, big, scary, I'm-going-to-eat-you dinos. My oldest has a large Tiny, from Meet the Robinsons, that she runs around with.
 
I'm leaving soon for WDW :woohoo: and we are going to try T-Rex Tuesday 10/21. My nieces have appointments at BBB in the afternoon and then we thought we'd give T-Rex a shot. Hopefully we'll be able to get in since they aren't taking ADRs yet. At the very least, we are going to go in and look around.
 
Okay, I gotta say, this place looks kind of awful... and what the heck is with Build a Dino by Build a Bear??? Why doesn't it just say, Hand Over All Your Money or better yet, You're Not Leaving With One Red Cent. I'm not a big dinosaur, mammoth, caveman motif fan, so this is just my humble opinion. YMMV! That gigantic squid or octopus just creeps me out completely!

I hope the food is at least decent otherwise, for me, it has no redeeming qualities for me whatsoever.

After reviewing the pictures more closely I do sort of like the pink sparkly jellyfish light fixture in the aqua room and the iceroom looks interesting.
