Say it ain’t so! A once-free Disney World souvenir will be going away for good soon, and we aren’t thrilled…
Kids’ Meal at Restaurantosaurus!
We’re getting closer and closer to saying goodbye to DinoLand U.S.A. before it permanently closes for good in Animal Kingdom on February 2nd, 2026 — making way for Pueblo Esperanza, the new Tropical Americas-themed land. We’ll miss this section of the park — especially the thrilling ride DINOSAUR. However, losing Restaurantosaurus hurts just as bad, especially since it means we’ll also be losing a free souvenir!
Restaurantosaurus currently offers a FREE Animal Kingdom souvenir cup, and the loss of the restaurant means a loss of this cool souvenir.
Animal Kingdom Souvenir Cup!
You can only get the souvenir cup with a Kids Meal, and it’s not sold separately, unfortunately. The cup itself is sized like a smaller medium drink, and you can fill it up at the machine at this quick-service restaurant. Stylistically, it features a green lid similar to those found on a coffee cup and showcases several types of animals in multicolored patterns. You’ll also find the iconic Tree of Life and the Animal Kingdom title logo printed on the cup! It truly is a really unique Animal Kingdom souvenir that doesn’t break the bank and lasts a good long while.
We love it!
Considering a cup like this would probably cost at least $10 on its own, but comes included in a Kids Meal for around $10, it’s hard to overlook how much of a deal this souvenir really is.
With Restaurantosaurus’ closure, obviously, we’re losing this perk. Whether it will pop up at a different Animal Kingdom restaurant remains to be seen, but we have our fingers crossed! We love this little cup and the value is unbeatable — we’d love to see it offered again elsewhere.
Restaurantosaurus
As we previously mentioned, DinoLand is shutting down on February 2nd to make way for the Tropical Americas-themed land, which will feature several new attractions, including an Encanto ride and an Indiana Jones ride that will replace DINOSAUR. More details are still rolling out about the new land, but if you want to experience Restaurantosaurus and DINOSAUR before they close, make sure you do so on or before February 1st.
