So, in going over our ADR's, my TA alerted me to the fact that the WDW website is stating that T-REX is not participating in the Dining plan, yet the 2012 brochure for the plan lists T-REX. Does anyone know which (site or brochure) is correct? I swear when I booked the ADR it showed it accepted the dining plan.

Thanks! I called her back and she said that she'd called Disney because the website was stating it wasn't on the plan. She was told that it is indeed on the plan, and that the website was wrong. I think we're still going to pay OOP simply because there won't be a ton of food options for my younger two with food allergies, it's also a 4:00 reservation which is quite early for dinner, but the only time before 10:00pm we could get.

I think that is a good idea. We have found the portions to be large and "share-able" with younger family members.
BTW - I love your pic with the kids in the laundry baskets. It reminds me of the movie Despicable Me (Sorry...I know it is not Disney...the Horror...) But it is cute!

If you plan to eat there & pay OOP, you might want to consider signing up for the Landry's Club card. It's $25 to join, but then they give you a $25 credit that you can use toward any Landry's restaurant --- T-Rex & Rainforest Cafe are both Landry's. We did that with RFC and then used DDP to eat at T-Rex on our recent trip.
Also, they say that Landry's Club members get priority seating. We didn't have to use it, but I read that they do try to honor that when possible (not sure if that was here or on the Landry's site).
It's a lot of fun there! And the portion sizes are huge!!!!

Reason: Forgot to add Landry's info
We have signed up for the card and use it often. There is a rain forest near where we live. We walk up and get right in when the next table is ready for our party size. We also get an appatizer on them when we eat there. We love it. You also get some % off of their merchandise. You do get the credit pretty quick.
I had a client who questioned whether it was on the plan, too. If you pull up the listing on Disney's website, it says on the right-side bar that it is on the plan. However, if you go into the fine print at the bottom, it says that it does not accept the DDP. This is what your TA was probably looking at and most likely it was in the fine print from when Disney started taking ADRs online for TRex, but it was not on the plan. My guess is no one removed it when they added it recently.
