Aloha, Amanda, and welcome to planDisney!
As Disney fans know, 626 is Stitch's experiment number, so June 26 is lovingly celebrated by many as Stitch Day! Amanda, nothing has been announced yet for the Disneyland Resort regarding Stitch Day. I recommend following the
Disneyland account on Instagram and checking the
Disney Parks Blog periodically between now and then for news relating to our favorite blue alien, especially with the much-anticipated
live action Lilo & Stitch movie coming to theaters in May.
There is plenty of merchandise available at the Disneyland Resort featuring Stitch – I know because I'm always on the lookout for new items that my nephew might like, since Stitch is his favorite Disney friend. I think it would be fun to celebrate Stitch Day by
visiting the various shops in the parks and at Downtown Disney to search for Stitch-themed hats, pins, shirts, bags, or other merchandise.
I have a few other ideas, too. Take a cruise on
"it's a small world" to look for Lilo and Stitch surfing! You can also stop by
Animation Academy to see if Stitch is on the schedule – if he is, you'll have the opportunity to learn how to draw him. A Dole Whip is a nice tropical treat if you're looking for something refreshing. I also suggest checking the
Disneyland mobile app to see if Stitch might be making a rare appearance to greet Guests.
When you visit, the
Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration will be underway, so expect a lot of vibrant decorations, special merchandise, exciting entertainment, and more fun. I highly recommend watching the
Paint the Night parade – it's my favorite nighttime spectacular!
Amanda, I wish I had more information, but check back as June approaches. If you have any other questions or need suggestions on how to have the most Lilo & Stitch-themed day possible, we’re always happy to help here at planDisney!
Mahalo,
Kriss
