Changi Airport and Jewel Changi Airport (Jewel) invite visitors on an enchanting voyage this year-end festive season to celebrate Disney’s timeless and beloved stories and characters. Starting today, visitors can embark on a wonder-filled celebration spanning multiple Changi Airport terminals and Jewel.  

As night falls, Jewel’s Rain Vortex comes alive with a brand-new Light & Music Showcase inspired by Disney Cruise Line. Titled ‘The Magic of Adventure’, the 3.5-minute show takes guests through the seven themed areas onboard the Disney Adventure, each represented by its respective glowing medallions. Look out for beloved Disney, Pixar and Marvel stories that are bound to delight as they appear on the Rain Vortex.

Magical Disney themed displays  

Head to Terminal 3 (T3) Departure Hall and spot displays of Captain Mickey Mouse and Captain Minnie Mouse as you step onto a 6.5-metre ship installation modelled after the Disney Adventure’s bow.  Visitors can get their photos taken and receive a print keepsake on-site of their special moment all through until 4 January 2026. To be eligible for this service, spend a minimum of S$50 in Changi Airport’s public areas or S$60 at transit (arrival areas only), Jewel or iShopChangi, in a single receipt at participating retail and F&B outlets.

Surrounding this stunning ship centrepiece are four themed photo spots designed like storybook pop-ups inspired by the Disney Adventure’s fan-favourite stories and characters from Disney, Pixar and Marvel. Visitors will get to snap picture-perfect moments while getting a taste of the ship’s themed areas such as Disney Imagination Garden, that will feature the artwork of a storybook castle showpiece and topiary sculpture of Sorcerer’s Apprentice Mickey. The second themed photo zone is inspired by Town Square that celebrates Disney royals like Snow White and Elsa; and showcases a glimpse of Olaf’s dining room from Enchanted Summer Restaurant, one of over 20 dining venues on the ship, that is inspired by Disney Animation’s Frozen. Fans of Marvel will be wowed by a display of Iron Man overlooking Marvel Landing’s colourful Stark-itecture style. Visitors will also get a special sneak peek into Captain Mickey’s cabin filled with festive memorabilia and framed photos of his friends.

The holiday magic at T3 continues with opportunities to meet special friends from Disney Cruise Line. Meet-and-greet passes are complimentary and available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Adding to the year-end festivities, daily snow shows at T3 Departure Hall will also transform the area into a winter wonderland.

Across the terminals, look out for topiaries of beloved characters like Baymax (at Terminal 1) of Disney film Big Hero Six set in a display inspired by Disney Adventure’s San Fransokyo Street. Also, at T2, visitors can also snap photos with topiaries of Duffy the Disney bear, ShellieMay and StellaLou as they add to the year-end festive cheer.
