Overview
- Aulani announced the new Stitch-themed refillable mug and popcorn bucket on Monday, June 15 via its DisneyAulani social channels and said the items will arrive at Ulu Café this summer ahead of Stitch Day on June 26.
- Disney Artist Ann Shen created the commemorative artwork, which shows Stitch drifting down the resort’s Waikolohe Stream and uses island-inspired colors and details.
- Both collectibles will be sold at Ulu Café near the Waikolohe Valley pool area as part of the resort’s yearlong 15th anniversary programming.
- Limited-edition refillable mugs and popcorn buckets are highly sought by Disney collectors, and the timed release around Stitch Day is expected to increase guest demand and foot traffic to the resort’s quick-service outlets.
- Aulani opened in 2011 and has combined Disney storytelling with Hawaiian cultural elements across entertainment, food and merchandise to establish itself as a distinctive Disney island destination.
