The volcano is completely wrapped in scaffolding, and walls are up around most of the building.

Rainforest Cafe is operating as normal during the work, including the gift shop and outdoor Lava Lounge.

The Rainforest Cafe Volcano was completely rebuilt in 2013 to include elaborate fire, lighting, and audio effects as the volcano "erupts."

Don't get excited. Eating at Rainforest Cafe is like if you played Jumanji in an Applebees.

Most of the scaffolding has come down - photos from today. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53334331885_6672365a93_o.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53334217129_9ce3207f36_o.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53332994057_83317515d5_o.jpg

But when does it reopen? Will it be open for summer 2024?

Not unpopular with us my kids loved it and my grandkids love it, i never had a meal I didn't like

The one at DAK is the best of the two, imo. Everything about the vibe and food is *chef’s kiss* I haven’t been in over four years probably; I need to change that.

Unpopular Opinion: Rainforest Cafe is my favorite place to eat at WDW... I have SO many memories here with my family, my friends, and even my most recent trips. On top of the memories, I have a staple meal: Nachos + Pastalaya + Volcano Cake = A good time. I specifically like the Animal Kingdom one... Especially since they always allow walk-ups. I could wait an hour or so in the store or the outdoor misting section and be perfectly content on a slow park day for me. :)
