Priority Seating / Reservations Comments: |
We hadn't planned on eating at the
Rainforest Cafe, in fact it was our first visit to the Animal
Kingdom, and we were unaware that the cafe was even there, but after
a long day at Animal Kingdom we decided to try it. This time,
however, when we go on our vacation we are getting priority seating.

Time of Wait: |
It wasn't a long wait, maybe 15 minutes
at the most, and the gift shop adjacent to the cafe made the wait go
by very quickly. It seemed we were seated in no time at all
(considering the fact that we didn't have reservations.) |
Food Review: |
The food, while good, wasn't the
highlight of my day. But I feel that is a matter of personal taste.
The food was cooked differently and in a way that I'm not use to and
that affected how much I liked it. For some people it wouldn't have
mattered. (For example my grilled cheese sandwich had tomato grilled
into the bread, which I am not used to.) |
Service Review: |
To be quite honest I didn't really pay
that much attention to the service, as I spent most of my time
soaking in the atmosphere and the things around me, but I do
remember the person that seated us, and the waiter were both very
nice, and the waiter did return at least once that I remember to
refill our drink glasses. |
Atmosphere Review: |
The atmosphere made up for the average
food, and was by far the highlight of the restaurant. I would visit
this restaurant again simply for the atmosphere! The "jungle
animals" and the "thunderstorm" are highly entertaining while you
wait for your food, and we were seated by a fish tank, so I also got
to watch the tropical fish swim as we waited, which made the time
pass very quickly. Though the thunder, the animals, and the noise of
all the people can get quite loud it's my opinion that if you wanted
a noise free vacation you wouldn't have came to Walt Disney World in
the first place. Sound is just part of the Walt Disney World
experience. =) |
Other Comments: |
This is, in my humble opinion, a must see
for everyone that visits Walt Disney World! My friend will be
accompanying me next year on vacation, and it will be her first, and
most likely last trip to WDW. When planning the restaurants and attractions we were going to see I immediately thought of the
Rainforest Cafe. It's a great place, and I highly recommend
it. |
