The Singapore Children’s Festival is back at Gardens by the Bay, and this year there’s a theme inspired by the ‘Inside Out’ movie! Kids are encouraged to get in touch with their emotions and visit different activations related to the film characters and their own feelings. Swing with wild abandon and embrace joy at the Mood Swings or visit Fort Pillowtown to build your own cosy fort out of pillows.

It’s a year for sequels, with some of our favourite flicks getting a part 2 (or 3!) to carry on their stories. High on our watch-list for 2024 is the brand new Moana 2, with Dwayne Johnson back on board voicing Maui. There’s also The Lion King’s Mufasa live-action origin story, and Inside Out 2 that introduces new emotions. Keep an eye on our list of movies in Singapore for release dates!

We love a sparkly jewel or two, and this Pandora x Disney collection featuring some of our favourite Disney moments and characters is truly iconic. The cast of The Lion King, Aladdin, Cinderella, and of course Mickey and Minnie Mouse all make an appearance!
7. Watch all the Disney films (again!) on Disney+
Disney+ is home to the whole collection of Disney movies, short films, and series! We can’t go past Frozen. It’s one of our favourite girl-power movies (who needs a prince to save you when you have the love of your best friend and sister?). It is undeniably magical – who can forget the lyrics to Let It Go, as Elsa swirls ice from her fingertips? We have a whole plethora of favourite Disney films. Get inspired, and have a Disney movie marathon!
8. Shop for Disney-themed toys in Singapore
If you head over to Shop Disney, you’ll find an abundance of Disney-themed toys, plushies, dress-up outfits, collectables, and even pyjamas! If online isn’t your thing, then head to a toy shop to have a browse. Stores like Toys R Us have entire toy sections dedicated to Disney. From Barbie dolls to dress-up costumes, there is a Disney toy for every budget. You’ll find plushies, pencil cases, and even board games!
9. Build all the Disney LEGO sets!
We are obsessed with Lego, and there is something extra special about the Lego Disney 100 sets that include rare and limited edition Lego Minifigures of all of our favourite Disney characters. We were lucky enough to build The Enchanted Treehouse (which is much more challenging than it looks!). This set sparks hours of fun, imaginative play with thirteen amazing Disney Princesses all in one set!
We also loved building the ‘Up’ House with its brightly coloured balloons, and this set is all about the details. Just take a peek at Russell’s Wilderness Explorer badges and his backpack with all its knick-knacks! Inside the house, you’ll even find Carl and Ellie’s wedding photo on the wall (cue sobs!) Little ones will love the Disney 100 Duplo, including a toddler-friendly version of the magical Disney Castle!
