Summer Play Days zooms back into Disney Store this week with free daily events all summer long in locations nationwide. The popular series will kick off with a special Pixar Cars 3 event today (Saturday, June 10), where guests will learn about the film’s characters before jumping into the “driver’s seat” and testing their “driving” skills with remote control vehicles on a mini racetrack inside each Store.
Guests who participate in Summer Play Days will be able to collect Disney Emoji patches featuring different Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars characters. New patches will be available each Wednesday between June 14 and August 9 (event participation required and while supplies last).
Guests will receive a special display card where they can attach their patches and those who have collected all of the weekly patches can receive an exclusive Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse patch between August 9-20 (must show all patches to receive Mickey and Minnie patch). Cast Members will also be distributing a special limited Simba patch spontaneously throughout Summer Play Days as a special magical moment for Guests.
