Aloha, Cloe, and thanks for surfing by planDisney today! Your family arrives soon for your Walt Disney World Resort adventure, so let's make sure no one gets left behind. Experiment 626 can't wait to meet your daughter!
Stitch is one of my favorite Disney rascals, so I love meeting him, too. You never know what shenanigans he'll get up to next. This fluffy blue alien is on many guests' must-meet lists, and I recently
answered another question about where to find him around the parks. Be sure to let him know it's your daughter's birthday; he might give her an extra hug.
My favorite spot to meet Stitch is at Disney's Hollywood Studios, but you'll need to hold a valid Disney Visa Credit Card to access this
exclusive meet-and-greet. If anyone in your party has a card, up to five guests can accompany them for this fantastic photo opp. When my husband and I met Stitch here last month, Elvis songs were playing, and he danced and mimed singing. I laughed so hard that Stitch started laughing at me!
If you're not able to access this location, you can also meet Stitch at a fun outdoor setting in
Magic Kingdom Park near Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin. You can check the exact times in your
My Disney Experience mobile app by tapping the map icon at the bottom and swiping to select "Characters" above the map. Tap "Show List" and scroll to find locations where you can meet Stitch. Select one to see that day's schedule.
You can also glimpse Stitch in the
Disney Adventure Friends Cavalcade at Magic Kingdom. While you might not have a chance to chat or do the hula with him, he's always a blast to watch.
Outside the parks, you can meet Lilo and Stitch at
'Ohana's Best Friends Breakfast at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort. This character meal is quite popular, so keep checking availability because guests often change plans. I like this opportunity because you'll have some quality one-on-one time with Mr. Mischief!
Cloe, I hope you "hang loose" with your best girl on this upcoming vacation. Give Stitch a big hug from me, and stop by
planDisney anytime.
Magic awaits,
Elaine
