Two New Restaurants At WDW

The following is from Deb Will's site. I don't know if this has been reported on the DIS as of yet.


FEBRUARY 2006

2/27/06: Two new restaurants are coming to Walt Disney World! An Asian restaurant will debut in the Village of Anandapur in Animal Kingdom's Asia in Summer 2007. It will offer both table and counter service dining options, as well as house retail space with Asian-inspired merchandise, such as sushi plates and fine teapots.

In early 2008, Downtown Disney will sport a new themed dining experience -- T-Rex: A Prehistoric Family Adventure, A Place to Eat, Shop, Explore and Discover®. The restaurant will be home to life-sized animatronic dinosaurs, a dig site and much more. The table service restaurant will feature waterfalls and geysers, and, as the name indicates, there will also be a retail shop.

The opening dates of both new restaurants, which will be operated by the Rainforest Cafe's Landry's Restaurants, are subject to change.

Oh great ! Just when my youngest will be in full on dinosaur age of 3 and then a 6 year old brother in tow....that dinosaur restaurant may be reason enough to go back in 2008....like I need a reason

I am thrilled to read about table service in Animal Kingdom and we are huge Asian food fans. Hope it's yummy!

I have to say that the DD restaurant sounds a lot like a Rainforest Cafe clone. I hope it's superior!

Looking foward to them both!

A little more information on MSNBC website. The T-Rex restaurant will be two stories and will themed rooms. One will sport a giant fish take. The location is "on the fringe of Pleasure Island" and will seat 600 people.

I wonder if it is going to be place behind the Comedy Wherehouse?
