If you grew up with Woody and Buzz, or can still sing every word of ‘Let It Go’, centralwOrld has your festive plans sorted.

From November 12 to January 3 2027, the Ratchaprasong mall gives more than 4,000 square metres over to Disney Pixar A Celebration of Wonders centralwOrld 2027. Expect 50 characters from 10 films across four zones, plus stage shows, screenings and the mall’s first new Christmas tree design in 20 years. It follows last year’s Disney The Magical Stars and June’s free Toy Story pop-up.

Walk across the Chit Lom skywalk and start at Square A, where Pixar marks its fortieth birthday with an eight-metre Sulley and a six-metre Mike from Monsters, Inc. Woody, Jessie, Buzz Lightyear and the three-eyed aliens stand nearby ahead of Toy Story 5, alongside scenes from Up and Luxo Jr., the hopping desk lamp from the studio’s logo.

Square B belongs to the princesses. The Seven Dwarfs’ cottage and Snow White’s poisoned apple come first, followed by Cinderella’s castle, Ariel’s underwater grotto, Belle’s ballroom and Rapunzel’s tower with its glowing hair.

Where to go and when

  • Sweetopia Dream City. A Zootopia-themed corner with shops and selfie spots.
  • Frozen Wonderland, Central Court. Elsa’s ice palace, with indoor snowfall at noon, 2pm, 4pm, 6pm and 8pm.
