4 New Walt Disney World Restaraunts To Open in 2008
Nothing new for those who have been keeping up on the News & Rumours forum, but the following is the first public announcment of The Wave and the latest public updates on the other three locations:
2008 Preview
Walt Disney World Resort Press Release
December 31, 2007
Themed Restaurants -- The introduction of innovative dining experiences continues with four restaurants opening during 2008. Landry's Restaurants, which just introduced a taste of Asia to Disney's Animal Kingdom with the opening of Yak & Yeti Restaurant, will treat Downtown Disney guests to a face-to-face encounter with a dinosaur at T-Rex: A Prehistoric Family Adventure, A Place to Eat, Shop, Explore and Discover, which combines table-service dining and retail in an interactive prehistoric environment built around water, fire and ice. At Epcot, China's Nine Dragons table-service restaurant will close in early 2008 to make way for an innovative dining room, scheduled to open in the fall, featuring five cooking stations where guests can interact with chefs from China. At Disney's Contemporary Resort, The Wave, opening in the spring, will serve up American cooking blended with world flavors. In the Italy pavilion at Epcot, Tutto Italia Ristorante ("Everything Italy") is the newest restaurant for California-based Patina Group, which has a portfolio of nearly 30 restaurants. The location will be expanded for a grand opening late in 2008.
The press release recaps other new additions around the resort and the 2008 Disney Dream Giveaway, but in no greater detail than what has already been posted in this forum.

DW and I are glad Tutto Italia is staying. We really enjoyed our dinner there on our anniversary Dec.4th.

Have they given an expected opening date for the T-Rex restaurant?

Seems like they're really focusing on expanding their dining offerings. That DDP has 'em all packed, I guess.
I just wish they'd put as much thought and effort into new attractions.

Joe Rhode may personally punch you in the neck.

TRICIA JONES: I heard that you were going to propose to Brandi Svenning at some theme park. When are men going to learn that women want ROMANCE, not Mr. Toad's Wild Ride...
BRODIE: Hey, now, be fair. EVERYONE wants Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

The banner on the construction wall states "Summer 2008".

1) Why?
2) AK is a good idea.
3) But, it was woefully under-built
. . . not enough rides
. . . not enough attractions
. . . not enough eateries
. . . not enough walking room
4) Until the pent-up vacationer push, AK lost attendance for 6 straight years.
5) Got to be reasons, huh?

Well, first off, it was joke. Secondly, Joe's latest creation was Expedition Everest, pretty darned good, I'd say. And thirdly, the under-building of AK wasn't his fault, that would be Uncle Mikey...

T-Rex is going to be fantastic. We've been to the one in Kansas City a number of times. The kids love it and the food is great.

Isn't T-Rex the same as Rainforest Cafe, only a different theme?
Let's stop defending mediocrity out of Disney and hold Disney to the higher standard they set up themselves.

They are both Landry's properties.

Will they be closing a restaurant at DTD to make way for the T-Rex place? Or are they squeezing it in somewhere?

Completely off topic...but since you brought him up Joe Rhode is a genius! Animal Kingdom is an incredible concept and Everest is an amazing attraction!
Too many trips to keep track of now! Vacation WDW twice a year so any questions ask freely ☺️

The menu is different.

I'm glad to hear about any new food options around the World. Honestly, I often thought one of WDW biggest issues is some of the mediocre food that pops up. This is especially the case with the low-end counter service / kid's food places. There are some really great WDW restaurants out there, but there's a lot of fast food mediocrity.
I haven't noticed much complaining about this on these boards, so I hope I didn't just open myself up to angry replies!
