Beauty and the Beast, Princess Jasmine, and everyone’s favourite Winnie the Pooh (with a bouncing Tigger!) make an appearance. We loved seeing the tribute to Frozen with Elsa and Anna and the ‘ice tunnel’, but our favourite displays are the local twists featuring the OG’s – Mickey, Donald and their friends.
