into different rooms that reflect the life and activities of our paleontologists. There is also a super cool airstream trailer attached to the building. This is a really neat corner of the restaurant with nice booths and bit more privacy if you can snag a table, but it is also one of the more popular spots to grab a seat. KNOW BEFORE YOU GO Restaurantosaurus is one of a growing number of Quick Service eateries at WDW to accept the new Mobile Order and Pay system; which is a great way to help beat the lines. For those who don’t know, Mobile Order and Pay lets you use the My Disney Experience app on your smartphone to pre-order your meals. When you get to the restaurant, you use the app to let the staff know that your party has arrived and then walk over to the designated Mobile Order pickup counter and collect your meal. Take advantage of this system if you can; it really helps maximize your time in the parks. Restaurantosaurus is also open later into the evening than most other eateries in Animal Kingdom, which is ideal if you need to fuel up after Rivers of Light. Restaurantosaurus accepts some Disney Dining Plans. THE FOOD The menu is pretty straightforward for a QSR but that doesn’t mean it won’t hit the spot. There’s the usual selection of Mickey Check and kids meal options, as well as some lighter fare like the Roasted Chicken Salad (iceberg and Spring Mix Lettuce topped with Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Hard-boiled Egg, and Roasted Chicken tossed with Ranch Dressing), tasty vegetarian options including the Vegetarian Black Bean Burger (Spicy Southwestern-flavored Patty on a Toasted Bun with Cheddar and House-made Avocado Spread served with Southwest Salad and French Fries), plus your standard burgers, chicken nuggets, hot dogs, and fries.
