The Mickey Loves Singapore: Dreamland Carnival Room was specially designed by local artist group WhenIWasFour. Inspired by various aspects in Singapore such as the traditional Ang Ku Kueh to the iconic Dragon playground, older visitors will be swept off their feet to go on a nostalgic adventure in this room. Visitors can also interact with the installations that involves 21 secret doors hidden within the art pieces of the room, play with a game of Mickey-themed hopscotch and reminisce on their childhood memories with many photo opportunities located all around the room.

Visitors only need to scan the QR code shown on the screen in the room, and follow the instructions to witness their masterpiece displayed in the room.

“Through our designs, we hope to tell stories about the simple joys of everyday life and reminisce about the past, especially through a uniquely Singaporean lens. We were inspired by how Mickey brings fun and happiness to adults and children alike. He shows us that laughter and imagination can make the world a brighter place,” said Yee Ying Jia, Sales and Marketing Manager, WhenIWasFour.
