If Stitch is your favorite Disney character, you may want to clear some extra room in your suitcase.
Disney has just revealed two brand-new collectibles celebrating the 15th anniversary of Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa, and they’re giving major tropical vacation vibes.
A new Stitch-themed popcorn bucket and refillable resort mug are arriving at Aulani later this month, combining colorful island artwork with one of Disney’s most beloved characters. Better yet, they’ll debut just in time for one of the biggest unofficial Disney holidays of the year — Stitch Day.
Disney Aulani has shared a first look at two new anniversary souvenirs arriving this summer: aStitch-themed popcorn bucket and a 15th Anniversary refillable resort mug.
Both items celebrate Aulani’s 15th anniversary while highlighting Stitch’s deep connection to Hawaiʻi, making them fitting additions to the resort’s milestone celebration.
Designed by Disney Artist Ann Shen
One of the standout details is the artwork itself.
Both collectibles feature original artwork by Disney artist Ann Shen, showcasing Stitch enjoying a relaxing day floating along Waikolohe Stream, one of Aulani’s signature attractions.
The colorful artwork incorporates tropical sunset colors, palm trees, ocean waves, lush island greenery, and resort-inspired scenery throughout. The popcorn bucket is finished with a purple lid and matching handle, helping the bright artwork stand out even more.
Where You’ll Be Able to Buy Them
Guests won’t have to search all over the resort. Disney confirmed that both the refillable mug and popcorn bucket will be available at Ulu Café, Aulani’s popular quick-service dining location.
The collectibles are expected to arrive just in time for Stitch Day on June 26, making them a fun limited-time souvenir for guests visiting during the resort’s anniversary celebration.
What the Refillable Mug Includes
The anniversary refillable mug isn’t just a keepsake.
Guests who purchase the mug will receive unlimited refills of fountain beverages, coffee, and tea at participating resort locations for the duration of their stay, making it both a collectible and a practical vacation companion.
Popcorn Bucket Refills
The Stitch popcorn bucket is also designed to be used throughout your vacation.
Disney says guests can receive $3 popcorn refills after purchasing the bucket, making it another fun (and snack-friendly) souvenir during a stay at Aulani.
One Important Detail Disney Hasn’t Shared Yet
If you’re wondering how much these souvenirs will cost, you’ll have to wait a little longer.
Disney has not yet announced pricing for either the Stitch popcorn bucket or the refillable mug. More information is expected closer to their release later this month.
Why Stitch Is the Perfect Choice
Few Disney characters feel more at home at Aulani than Stitch.
Since debuting in Disney’s Lilo & Stitch, the lovable blue alien has become closely associated with Hawaiʻi, making him one of Aulani’s signature characters. As the resort celebrates its 15th anniversary, featuring Stitch on commemorative merchandise feels like a natural fit.
With the continued popularity of Stitch (and excitement surrounding Disney’s live-action adaptation of Lilo & Stitch), these anniversary collectibles could quickly become some of the resort’s most sought-after souvenirs this summer.
Whether you’re planning an Aulani vacation or simply love collecting Disney popcorn buckets and refillable mugs, these new anniversary offerings look like they’ll be must-have souvenirs.
Featuring beautiful artwork by Ann Shen, a playful design inspired by Waikolohe Stream, and arriving just in time for Stitch Day on June 26, they’re a fun way to celebrate both Stitch and Aulani’s 15th anniversary.
We’ll be keeping an eye out for pricing and additional release details as Disney shares more information.
