While there isn’t a Disneyland Park in Singapore, that doesn’t stop Mickey Mouse from bringing holiday joy to people flying in. This holiday season, Changi Airport and Jewel are graced with several Disney-themed attractions for passengers to enjoy.
Jewel’s iconic rain vortex finds itself transformed to make way for a light and music showcase inspired by the Disney Cruise Line. Titled “The Magic of Adventure,” guests can be dazzled by the three-and-a-half-minute show, which provides viewers with a preview of the seven themed areas onboard the Disney Adventure.
