Restaurantosaurus

Restaurantosaurus is a quick-service restaurant located at DinoLand U.S.A. at Disney's Animal Kingdom.
It originally served McDonald's food until their sponsorship of DinoLand and Disney in general ended in 2008.
== Summary ==
Restaurantosaurus is a key location in the story of DinoLand U.S.A. Before the arrival of the paleontologists in 1947, it was a quiet fishing lodge in sleepy Diggs County. When fossils were first discovered in the Boneyard, the paleontologists would buy the fishing lodge and turn it into the first headquarters of the Dino Institute, serving multiple functions as a museum, school, dormitory quarters and mess hall for both scientists and tourists. The Institute eventually outgrew the building and a new museum (the setting of Dinosaur) was built in 1978.
The restaurant is divided into several areas:
* The central "Old Museum" area
* Dorms for the Dino Institute's students
* "The Hip Joint", a rec-room with a 50s diner look and an old trailer connected to the building
* The Dino Institute's Motor Pool, a garage where students have painted dinosaurs on the walls with engine grease
Countless examples of dinosaur fossils, sculptures and memorabilia line the walls of the restaurant. Some nods to Disney history can be found with model sheets from Fantasia's The Rite of Spring sequence as well as a picture of Walt Disney with the baby dinosaurs from the Ford Magic Skyway.
A character breakfast, "Donald's Breakfastosaurus", was once hosted at Restaurantosaurus featuring Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, Goofy and Pluto, with a story of them having recently discovered the fossilized remains of Donald's dinosaurian ancestors. This ended in 2007 when character dining was moved to the Tusker House Restaurant in Africa.
