Catch a Wave with Stitch: Where to Find Lilo & Stitch Across Disney Parks Worldwide

For 626 Day, Disney is celebrating Lilo & Stitch with character meet-and-greets, themed dining, limited-time shows, and merchandise across Walt Disney World, Disneyland Paris, Tokyo Disney Resort, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Disney Cruise Line. Highlights include Angel's Pop Star Party in Paris (June 24-28) and a Stitch-themed room in Tokyo.

In celebration of 626 Day, Disney is putting the spotlight on Lilo & Stitch with a globe-spanning lineup of character encounters, themed dining, limited-time shows, and merchandise stretching from Walt Disney World to Tokyo Disney Resort, Disneyland Paris, and Disney Cruise Line. Nearly 25 years after the Walt Disney Animation Studios original debuted in 2002 — and one year after its 2025 live-action remake — Experiment 626 and his pal Angel are taking over Disney parks worldwide.

What began as a fan-favorite animated film about friendship and 'ohana has grown into a global phenomenon, powered by an instantly recognizable, Elvis-heavy soundtrack and a roster of beloved characters that has kept audiences connected for nearly a quarter century. The annual, fan-driven 626 Day celebration is the clearest sign of that staying power — and this year, Disney Experiences around the world are leaning in with dining, entertainment, photo opportunities, and exclusive merchandise. Here is the full rundown of where to find Lilo & Stitch across the globe.
