Open-air ice palace and giant chocolate house bring the cuteness – “TSUM TSUM Party Carnival” comes to Taipei

Mickey Mouse wide-eyed and saying hello to you, Donald Duck opening his mouth and quacking, Winnie the Pooh sniffing around for honey – in the past, these beloved Disney characters could only appear within their own themed stories. But in 2013, the game-derived “TSUM TSUM” series brought all these ultra-cute characters together under one roof. It has become one of the most talked-about and story-rich IPs (intellectual properties) from Disney.

Combining characters from Disney, Pixar, and Lucasfilm, these adorable figures have become favorites among both kids and adults, and their stacked designs offer even more fun possibilities. At the start of 2018, during the romantic Valentine’s Day and the Lunar New Year, head to the Taipei 101 Water Dance Plaza for Taiwan’s first-ever large-scale outdoor “TSUM TSUM Party Carnival”! Focusing on gaming and experiences as its two main themes, this event features exclusive challenge games and a rich variety of character-based DIY activities. Experience super-sized arcade-style mobile game challenges that test your determination, play bingo and show off your basketball skills, slide on ice in an open-air ice rink, take photos with a massive stacked chocolate house, and shop a range of limited-edition, ultra-cute merchandise — all bringing the incredibly adorable charm of TSUM TSUM to life.

Then, during the Lunar New Year and Valentine’s Day — the busiest travel seasons for both local and foreign tourists — Taipei 101 teams up again with Disney and Wild Country to create the super-cute “TSUM TSUM Party Carnival” full of sweet photo spots. During the event, in partnership with the Taipei 101 Observatory and the Taipei Double-Decker Tourist Bus, a special “Passport Set” will be launched, allowing fans from around the world to ride high in Taipei, enjoy the festive fun, and make unforgettable memories.
