Character Dining @Lumiere Kitchen and Toy Story Hotel Shanghai

As the title suggest, the last day we spend in Shanghai Disneyland Resort, Mr. Bob and I decided to treat the children to a character dining experience. We had nothing installed for us that morning, so we woke up slightly later than previous days. I have planned to have a mini photoshoot series for Farissa as a Princess (this was a tradition) around the hotel premise.

So off we went to Lumiere Kitchen! We were greeted by friendly staff and seated somewhere near the windows oversee the hotel's garden. While Mr. Bob entertain the children (and the characters) I took the chance wondering off to look into the restaurant's buffet spread. It offers a variety of western and asian breakfast, including a special spread for vegetarian which both Mr. Bob and myself took advantage off.

All I could say is that the vegetarian fried rice and the fried lettuce with mushrooms were super delicious. The kids had the usual breakfast of pancakes, waffles and cereal with nothing else. The characters (Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and Pluto) were super attentive to the children. They interact and take their time acting out different poses each time. Ruzain were exited and keen meeting all of the characters, he also took me by surprise when we told me that Mickey wore a different outfit than the first day we met him. That just shows he remembers well of these characters.. and mommy better not tell white lies.. Haha!

After breakfast, its photoshoot time. Mommy will not let the Cinderella goes to waste. We took a loooooot of pictures. Mostly it's outside in the garden area. It is quite a windy morning, but Farissa seemed to be in a very good mood and didn't mind the cool breeze.

Nice right?

After we checked out from the hotel, we jumped on the shuttle and visited Toy Story Hotel. We were curious about this new colourful hotel. Very glad we came as Woody and Jesse were there. Yaaahoooooo! We took the opportunity to wonder around the hotel, takes plenty of pictures for memories and finally, had snacks at the Sunny Side Up Cafe. Here you could try the prawn and crab wanton. We just sat at the cafe eating chips and resting up before needing to go to the airport and finally back to Malaysia. :)
