We seem to be on a weather kick… well sort of. This week I took the Lil’s to Disney and thought it would be fun to go to the Rainforest Cafe.
I wish this picture did justice to this dining experience.
About five minutes after being seated – Thunder – Flashing Lights. Cue crying children.
Our waitress visits the table – I inquire as to how often these delightful storms will pass – she replies every 20-25 minutes, and then there’s the Gorilla…
So… no less than 5 times during our dinner… Lil Dude and Lid Diva would drop to the ground, hide under the table to wait for the storm to pass.

Bottom line – if you have children that don’t seem “sound” sensitive you might want to wait a little before you visit the Rainforest Cafe – so glad I didn’t pick here for Lil Diva’s birthday party. It was in contention, but they never replied to my email.
While I’m talking about the Rainforest Cafe… can we talk about the state of children’s menus here and at every other restaurant in this country?
Do we really even have to look to know what crap they are offering… mac & cheese served with garlic bread – extra if you want carrot sticks. Really? Whatever. Pizza, Chicken Nuggets-ish… no side salad and a few veggie offered, but only one per entree…? Really? At least Rainforest offered a rotisserie chicken… but it was a piece of chicken on a plate with a side of corn. This is a meal? At least it was better than anything else on the children’s menu.
I typically order two different options so I can get both veggies and two mains – then I split it between both lil’s meal so they get a variety of bad food.
Oh… while I’m griping… can someone explain the ladies room here to me? Two stalls for restaurant of this size in Downtown Disney. Two Stalls? Really?
Turns out it was a not so wordless Wednesday. Sorry. I had to get that out.

That is really sad that Disney, as large as it is doesn’t offer more of a healthy variety for people who are choosing to eat right. Great article, thanks for sharing.
