Disney Naturally Restaurant
Child, Places Kids Love August 17th, 2008On Wednesday (13th), my sweet sister and her boyfriend gave me a couple of hours of me-time by bringing the kids to the ONLY Disney Theme Restaurant situated OUT of Disneyland in Singapore Anchorpoint Shopping Mall. So whatever that is written here is what my sis and my boys narrated to me after the experience.
The entrance. There is a projected screen showing ‘The Incredibles’ the movie cartoon.
There are Disney soft-toys sitting on the top parapet and a small screen showing the restaurants’ Daily Specials.
They ordered a pizza for the 4 of them. Kids ate the ‘Ears’ and the adults ate the ‘Face’.
As usual, he gobbled down all the pineapples from the pizza and almost finished his big plate of Cheese Macaroni.
Then he took one sip on his strawberry shake and regretted at the very same moment.
Keatkeat ordered the Chicken Stew and loved the sauce, but he couldn’t finished his apple juice.
Then both of them gobbled down one banana each.
What kept them completely entertained were the PC. They get to play their favourite games which is similar to their favourite website http://www.disneychannel-asia.com. My sis chose a seat right next to the PC, so it superb for the kids.
See the Green Button (on top of Keatkeat’s head on his right-side)? Pressing it will release water from the glove to wash your hands and at the same time make the ‘black-stripes’ on the mickey glove change colours.
Here, little Binbin was helping himself to a balloon from the balloon decorations and wanted to get one more for his elder brother but didn’t succeed…
So my sis went to the staff to request for one for his big brother, Keatkeat, before monkey see – monkey do.
And there you have it – 2 completely happy children!
Review of the Restaurant: –
Though the kids love the place, my sis was rather disappointed with the whole experience. Here’s what she has to say:
– The whole place was not kids-oriented.
– The sofas are quite far away from the table and hence Keatkeat had to stand in order to reach his food.
– The staff were not as children-friendly as compared to the staff at Hong Kong Disneyland, who are super friendly whenever a child comes near, but she hardly see the staff at this restaurant doing that.
– The food portions are NOT in children sizes. Everything were in adult portion.
– There are no kiddy utensils, so it was really tough if you have kids who would like to feed themselves but have problem holding the heavy metals in their tiny fingers.
– The food is consider expensive with regards to its portion and the taste. The four of them spent $50++ just for a meal there.
– Lastly, if you are driving, please note that a 2 hour parking could cost you around S$6.00!
So you decide if you wanna give it a try! But my kids gave a definite “YES” to going back there again!

Thanks for the post ! I was planning to bring Rou there initially. I know about this place from one of the TV program but i was a bit skeptical on the food as it doesn’t seem to be yummy at all when it was showed in the programme. Maybe I should wait till Rou is old enough to appreciate those Disney’s features then only bring her there..You Bin2 and Keat2 really had a great time there. They looked so happy in the photos !

Nothing like that around here for children but it does seem strange that if it’s for children, you’d think it’d be geared for children. Odd…
Nice that they gave you some time!

1st of all: Can I borough your sis??PLEASE???
2nd:It’s a shame that that place isn’t kids oriented cause it looks awesome for kids and I’d love to have something like that over here.I guess that being not kids oriented it’s better that not having a place like that at all!
3rd:Your name starts with an A and your one of my BBF’s too!!!
I wish we could chat on line like I do with the other girls.
Ain’t you got msn messenger or so?…

It sounds like it was sort of fun, but how odd that it didn’t have more thought put into making it truly child friendly!

I read quite a lot of negative comments about the place and now after reading your post, I don’t think I want to visit it. I think I rather have my meal at Ikea, which is opposite.

Looks like a fun place but like many others, I hv heard many negative comments about the place. It is such a good place and a good idea. They just need to change the management.

I’ve not dine there yet. I don’t think I will go cos I’ve heard a lot of bad reviews of the restuarant. But naturally, kids will like it since the place is so nicely done up :)
