We Went Today! NO WAY!!! Guess where we are going this weekend?..... About This Page:

[debe]

We will be taking a WILD ADVENTURE on the boardwalk in Atlantic City (which is only 30 min <give or take a couple> from home). My DH just called from work and said "I know were we can take mom for dinner next weekend." Then I said "Where?" He said, "To the Rainforest Cafe!" Talk about having a quick B/P rise Right away, I asked him if he was taking his mom & I to FL (as you can see I always have Orlando on my mind ) He said "No silly, to Atlantic City." Right away I kept repeating "NO WAY!!!"



I had no idea our area was getting in a Rainforest Cafe. I thought it was totally off the drawing board after it was denied (was a big political issue several years back... not even going there ).



So, anyone visiting the Atlantic City area & would like a dinning experience of a different kind, head on over to:



The Boardwalk at:



Rainforest Cafe, Atlantic City

2201 Boardwalk

Atlantic City, NJ 08401



They take reservations too! (should probably make one as we will have MIL with us )

Wow, thanks for the heads up, Debe. I was in AC on St. Paddy's day and it didn't look like the Rainforest would be ready to open for a few more months.
I guess I'll be checking it out when we go back down in June.

Very cool. Have fun. RC is Kylor's favorite restaurant!!

Great thing to know. Thanks for sharing Debbie

Awesome! We'll be in Brigantine next weekend, and again in June - We'll definitely be heading over!

Thanks for the info!

Well, bummer that it's not a RFC at WDW, but Woohoo anyway! That has to be one of the coolest themed restaurant we've ever eaten at (of course I'll get back to you after December when we try some Disney ones )

What's the occasion? Birthday celebration?

Your not going to believe this...

Yesterday I bought Tuna steaks for dinner. I asked Dh to call his mom and invite her over for dinner. Well he kept putting it off and didn't bother calling her until around 3 pm yesterday afternoon. He called her he said: "Deb is making tuna fish for dinner, why don't you come over?" She declined and said she had a big lunch. Well after he hung up the phone, it registered that he didn't say tuna steak but said tuna fish!!! Not what I would call a Mother's Day dinner. LOL

So he called her back (after he got over hysterically laughing at his wording) and told her it was tuna steak on the grill not tuna fish out of a can... sheesh!!!

She still insisted she had a big lunch and wasn't hungary so he told her that we would take her out next Sunday for dinner & the Rainforest is where he wants to go. I probably should call her up to see if she would rather go to a different place (she can be difficult but at age 86, I guess you are entitle to be like that at times )

However, I am putting in "MY" request for early June. If I can't go to WDW for my b'day then I can go to the Rainforest now

Sounds like fun!!!!

I'm having a giggle-fit thinking about your DH asking his Mom over for Mother's Day Dinner and she's thinking tuna casserole or tuna sandwiches.

Hopefully she'll agree to the RFC for next Sunday!

How fun! I love the Rainforest Cafe! We are lucky here in the Twin Cities as we have the original Rainforest Cafe, which is located in the Mall of America. Did you know that the guy who came up with the idea for RC designed a prototype which he set up in his house which was located in a suburb of Minneapolis? Can you imagine having your entire house set up as a jungle with animatronic animals everywhere? It was the only way he could think of apparently to try to entice investors into bankrolling his ideas into a restaurant.

Love the trivia! I had no idea of this . I too enjoy the Rainforest Cafe, mainly because it is different. We are going to a baseball game on Saturday & am wondering if maybe I can con DH into going then too

[debe]

WE WENT! The waiting line was long but I flashed that nifty Rainforest Safari Card & we got right in . Dinner was good (we ate too much) as well as the service. It's much smaller than the two down at WDW but every bit as nice. Their retail store is very small and was hard to get around due to all the people waiting for seating.

Would we go there again? YUP! We are taking his mom up tomorrow & hopefully by going earlier, we won't hit traffic (that was bad today) & will have a much easier time finding a parking spot in the high rise garage.

Glad to hear you had a good time there... I still think the one in Orlando would've been better!

So TRUE Cheryl but it certainly makes for a quick fix if you can't make it to the big "Mouse house" . Today should be interesting as we will be taking MIL (85) for her first RFC trip.
