Pour one out for DinoLand, U.S.A.

DinoLand U.S.A.

We don’t know when our final stroll through this roadside carnival-themed land will be, but we know that it will be too soon no matter what. That’s right, DinoLand is being replaced by a new Tropical Americas land, and while we’re thrilled to have new rides, restaurants, and more, it does mean we’ll have to say goodbye to DinoLand — and three Disney World restaurants.

DinoLand, U.S.A. at Disney’s Animal Kingdom is about to change in a major way — as in, it will no longer exist. Instead, a new Tropical Americas land featuring Encanto and Indiana Jones will take its place. Not only does this mean we’ll be losing two attractions, but it means we’ll also have to say goodbye to three restaurants in this section.

Restaurantosaurus is a quick service spot that serves up your typical theme park fare like burgers, salads, and chicken nuggets, but it’s a great option for a bite to eat on this side of the park. What really makes Restaurantosaurus unique is its theming and backstory, though!

The story goes that paleontology students turned their home base into a restaurant — with the help of Chester and Hester, who run DinoLand — once they were done using it, and now you get to peruse all the cool props and equipment (including lots of sight gags and punny humor) while you eat. There are so many different props and cool references that make this spot a hit for many.

We’ll also have to say goodbye to Trilo-Bites, a cute little snack stand that serves up those delicious Buffalo Chicken Chips we love so much. They’re made with kettle chips, buffalo chicken, blue cheese crumbles, and sauce — and they are a seriously underrated snack! You can also find ice cream and milkshakes over here

And, of course, there’s also Dino-Bite Snacks. This diner-inspired kiosk features ice cream, cookies, churros, and cold drinks. There’s nothing particularly unique about this spot — aside from the occasional seasonal ice cream sandwich — but we’ll still miss it all the same.

While we still may not know when we’ll have to say goodbye to DinoLand, we know it will still be too soon. We’ll be on the lookout for any potential updates, so make sure you stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog if you don’t want to miss a thing!
