How to Get a Rainforest Cafe at Disney Springs Marketplace Reservation

  1. Book the day your window opens. Disney World dining reservations open 60 days ahead. Guests staying at a Disney resort hotel can book 60 days before check-in for their whole stay (up to 10 days).
  2. Keep checking as your date gets close. Disney charges a no-show fee when a reservation is cancelled less than a day ahead, so plenty of tables open up in the final few days.
  3. Be flexible on time and party size. Early lunch and late dinner slots open more often, and smaller parties fit into more tables.

About Rainforest Cafe at Disney Springs Marketplace

The Rainforest Cafe at Disney Springs Marketplace is the original Walt Disney World location of this themed dining chain, and it remains one of the most recognizable restaurants on the entire property — thanks in large part to the erupting volcano that marks its entrance at the edge of Village Lake.

Inside, the restaurant transforms into a lush Amazon rainforest complete with the theatrical details that made the chain famous: animatronic animals (including chest-thumping gorillas, trumpeting elephants, and schools of brightly colored fish), periodic simulated thunderstorms that roll through the dining room with darkening lights and sound effects, banyan trees, waterfalls, and a canopy of tropical vegetation overhead. The atmosphere is dense and immersive — genuinely overwhelming in the best possible way for young guests.

The Marketplace location is larger than the Animal Kingdom location and sits directly on the water at Disney Springs, making it a convenient stop whether you’re shopping, arriving from the parks, or looking for a no-ticket-required dinner option. After the meal, the Rainforest Cafe retail shop adjoining the restaurant stocks plush animals, themed apparel, and tropical souvenirs. The animated animals are as much of a draw as the food for many families, and the restaurant’s enduring popularity across decades of competition speaks to how effectively it delivers a reliable, memorable experience.
