T-Rex Cafe

One of the nights we went over the Disney Village and took the boys to the new T-Rex Cafe. I was really excited and thought the boys would be too, but they weren't ;( They were terrified!

This is the t-rex that meets you at the door, right at the check in stand. All three were already crying by this time--Brooks said he was scared because they have skin. I will give him that. In trying to rationalize with him about not being scared he said the dinosaurs at the museum are just bone and not alive. He really thought these were alive. In true Disney fashion they were very big and had animatrionics running them that were very life like! It was so neat and amazing how big the dinosaurs were.This octopus is over the bar and aquarium. His tentacles move and were very life like.
Once the boys ate dinner there was a neat area they could dig, clean sand, explore and be archaeologists, or is it paleontologists?!?!?!
They really liked this part of the evening!


Brooks may have found a new career.

After digging they got to build a dino friend. It was in the restaurant and worked just like build a bear. They each picked a dino and then got to stuff it, clean it, name it, etc.

Mike and I thought the place was great and can't wait to go back! (Cooper was just looking over my shoulder and said he liked it and wants to go back) I was amazed at how scared Brooks was, and it was very genuine fear, maybe next year he will have a little better understanding!
