Rainforest Cafe Disney Springs reservations and alerts

Dinner in an indoor jungle

Rainforest Cafe is a jungle you eat in, with banyan trees, waterfalls and a starry sky over the tables.

Animated elephants and gorillas share the room with singing birds and brightly colored fish, while thunderclaps and sudden rainstorms break out around you.

It is in the Marketplace at Disney Springs. Disney’s own tip for finding it is to look for the erupting volcano.

What to order

The menu is American with a jungle name on nearly everything. At lunch that means the Beastly Burger, the Volcanic Cobb Salad or Jungle Safari Soup, and at dinner the Primal Steak or the spicy Pastalaya.

For a group, there are Lava Nachos and an ahi poke tower to start, and the Sparkling Volcano dessert serves three or four.

Children 9 and under have their own Rainforest Rascals menu, with Python Pasta and dinosaur-shaped Jurassic Chicken Tidbits.

Disney’s price range for an adult entrée here is $15 to $34.99 at lunch and dinner (checked November 2026).

Before you book

You do not need a park ticket. Disney Springs has no admission charge, so this works on an arrival day or a day off from the parks.

Disney lists lunch from 11:00 AM to 4:55 PM and dinner from 5:00 PM to 11:00 PM (November 2026), so it also suits a late meal.

The restaurant warns of flashing lights and thunder sounds inside, which is worth knowing if your child startles easily.

There is a second Rainforest Cafe at the main entrance of Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The two are separate bookings, and an alert set here watches only the Disney Springs restaurant.

If your group would rather eat with dinosaurs, T-REX is also at Disney Springs and has the same big-theme family feel.

Getting a table when it shows as full

Like other Disney World dining reservations, bookings here open 60 days ahead, and Disney strongly recommends reserving.

Walk-ins are taken when there is room, but the restaurant warns they can mean a long wait.

If your date looks full, keep watching. We studied 10,000+ Walt Disney World dining openings, and 73% appeared in the final three days.

Set an alert above with your date and party size, and Park Drop will email and text you when a matching table drops.
