How to Get a T-REX Reservation
- 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).
- 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.
- Be flexible on time and party size. Early lunch and late dinner slots open more often, and smaller parties fit into more tables.

About T-REX
T-REX at Disney Springs is a prehistoric adventure disguised as a restaurant. Created by the same team behind the Rainforest Cafe, this massive dining destination transports your family to a world where dinosaurs still roam. Life-size animatronic dinosaurs tower over the dining rooms, an enormous octopus stretches across the ceiling, and every 20 minutes a simulated meteor shower sends the room into dramatic, thundering chaos. Kids absolutely lose their minds over it.
The restaurant is divided into several themed areas, each representing a different prehistoric environment. The Ice Cave sparkles with frozen blue tones, the Coral Reef room glows with an underwater ambiance, and the Geode room features crystal formations and earthy hues. A massive floor-to-ceiling aquarium filled with tropical fish anchors one section of the restaurant, adding a splash of real-life wonder to the animatronic spectacle.
Beyond the dining rooms, T-REX features a gift shop and a Build-A-Dino station where kids can create their own stuffed dinosaur — a clever way to keep everyone entertained during any wait. Located in the Marketplace area of Disney Springs, T-REX does not require park admission, making it accessible to anyone visiting the Walt Disney World Resort.
