Disney & Friends shine in The Shilla Duty Free’s Singapore-inspired activation at Changi Airport

The activation pairs Disney storytelling with Singapore-inspired design, using colourful installations to create an engaging retail environment with a strong sense of place and play

SINGAPORE. The Shilla Duty Free Singapore has rolled out a Disney-themed campaign at Changi Airport featuring heritage-inspired visual displays, limited-edition merchandise and exclusive shopping offers, running until 31 August.

The ‘Summer Stories with Shilla’ campaign showcases Disney classic characters Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck and Daisy Duck through illustrations inspired by Singapore’s popular shophouses and recognisable local motifs.

The designs feature prominently across the retail space and on a collection of limited-edition Disney travel exclusives (TREXs), giving travellers a distinctly local take on the Disney characters.

The campaign extends the Disney experience beyond the displays, with exclusive collectables and prize rewards enhancing its appeal 

Supporting the activation is a complimentary Catch & Win experience at The Shilla Duty Free’s main stores, with no purchase required.

The activation rewards every participant with a guaranteed prize, including daily vouchers worth up to S$50 (US$39) redeemable on beauty and fragrance products.
