Rainforest Cafe at Downtown Disney Marketplace




There are two Rainforest Cafes located in Disney, one is located at the Animal Kingdom and the other is at Downtown Disney Marketplace. You can catch a glimpse of the rocky facade and blue waterfall of this particular Rainforest Cafe at the corner of the Marketplace.

Inside the restaurant, clusters of vines and low lying branches and leaves house an assortment of creatures from gorillas to elephants and every 30 minutes a thunderstorm starts and the animals move and make noises.

There is a large selection to choose from and the menu does not change for lunch or dinner. Although the ribs are good, the rest of the food is just the same fare you would get at any chain restaurant like Chili's, but a little pricier because of its location.

The Rainforest Cafe is not Disney owned and does not take reservations. They are a first come, first served restaurant so come early for lunch or dinner to miss the wait. A note for parents of young children, I've noticed the few times that we've been there that the simulated thunderstorms and the animals' chest-pounding and hollering can frighten children.
