T-Rex Cafe!

Jack started school (preschool) August 22nd. So far it seems to be going pretty well, he is having a lot of trouble adjusting to getting up so early (he has to be as school by 6:25 am so I can get to work on time) but once he is there, he is enjoying it!

We celebrated this milestone by going to dinner at T-Rex. We are super lucky because there are only 2 T-Rex restaurants in the country (as far as I know) and one is here!! Of course the other is at DTD. So it's like a little piece od Disney in our own backyard!

My parents, sister, my cousin and his girlfriend all came out to celebrate with us. My cousins mom (my aunt) is the one who has been keeping Jack ever since he was 6 months old, so he is really close to my cousin and his gf. He loves them both a lot, and they are really attached to him as well. It's been a hard adjustment for them apparently not having Jack around all the time.

I will add more pictures later, I'm not sure where they went, but I will find them. Here are the 2 I managed to find for now!



Jack was distracted:

We got a dip sampler and onion rings to split for apps, and they were both yummy. Jack had the dino shaped chicken nuggets (kids meals are huge here). My cousin had a burger he really enjoyed, and his girlfriend (also named Stephanie btw) had the calzone, which was enormous! She liked it, and it came with a Caesar salad. My mom, sister and I all did soup/salad combos. The soups were tomato basil and french onion, and both were good. I got the chicken sandwich that comes on a pizza type crust. It's really good, but hard to eat. My dad had the Lava Me Tenders (chicken tenders) which were good, but he was sick the next day... he was the only one, and no one else tried his tenders, so we can't be sure that's what caused it, but I probably won't be eating them anytime soon just in case. My mom's 50th birthday was the day before, so we told our waiter and they came to sing to her, and brought her a little scoop of ice cream with a cookie.

They also have a "character", a dinsoaur (obviously) come around and take pictures. They take the pictures and give you a ticket to go look at it later. Jack was nervous and made me get in the picture too. We didn't look at them because we knew we weren't going to buy them, but I thought it was a nice touch.

It was a but pricey, but it's not someplace we eat everyday. The menu is slightly different than the WDW location. They have build-a-dino here too, but Jack wasn't interested. They also have this area where you pay $2.50 and you can go do special activities (some of which cost extra) but it looked closed (it was a Monday evening after all). It did look like a fun place for a birthday party.
