SINGAPORE: Disney and Pixar characters such as Mickey Mouse, Cinderella, Elsa and Woody will be lining Singapore's shopping belt this Christmas season, as the Orchard Road Business Association (ORBA) partners the Walt Disney Company for the annual light-up event.
It will be Disney's largest Christmas street light-up in Southeast Asia, said ORBA in a media release on Tuesday (Sep 4).
