    Next year is the 20th anniversary of My Friends Tigger & Pooh, 25th anniversary of Lilo and Stitch, 35th anniversary of Aladdin and the 50th anniversary of the Rescuers. Is the WDW is planning to release any commerative events or merchandise?

    Hi Stephen! Wow! So many amazing Disney friends all mentioned in one question! Celebrating our favorite characters is one of the many joys of being a Disney fan! Let’s see if we can jump into the spirit of Aladdin while getting you an answer to your question!

    When it comes to answering questions about Disney World, you’ve never had a “Friend Like Me!” Like you, I enjoy honoring my favorites with collectibles that become available, especially during special anniversaries. My “go-to” collectible are Disney pins! An Aladdin 35th anniversary pin would be an awesome addition to my collection!

    While we currently don’t have any information on how some of those special anniversaries will be commemorated at the Disney Parks, we do know that past anniversaries of characters and movies have been honored with limited edition commemorative lines of merchandise that are available at the Disney Parks and through Disneystore.com!

    Stephen, let’s stay “One Jump Ahead” by keeping our eyes on the Disneystore.com site as well as on the Disney Parks Blog for any special celebrations! Also, keep an eye on news coming from the upcoming D23 Expo later this week. Perhaps there will be some special announcements regarding these upcoming anniversaries.

    With any luck, we’ll be entering “A Whole New World” of merchandise to commemorate our Disney favorites!

    Dreams do come true!
