Today in Disney History: Love Bug Day at Disneyland

On this day in 1969, Love Bug Day was held at Disneyland. To celebrate the release of Disney’s “The Love Bug,” the story of an anthropomorphic 1963 Volkswagen Bug over 100 decorated Bug’s gathered at the park for a parade. The cars were judged in categories such as most psychedelic, toylike, comical and best personality. Morton and Barbara Allen of Studio City, California, won the grand prize of a brand new 1969 Volkswagen Bug. The prize was presented by “The Love Bug” stars Dean Jones and Michele Lee. Other prizes included portable color televisions, Kodak Super-8 movie cameras and projectors, and Polaroid cameras.
