Hi there, Sarita!
Thanks for stopping by planDisney where no question gets left behind or forgotten.
Much like you, nothing makes my day more magical than a hug (or 626) from everyone's favorite tropical extraterrestrial. Currently, Stitch makes regular appearances (you can find a schedule in the
My Disney Experience mobile app) in
Magic Kingdom Park at the Rocket Tower Plaza Stage in Tomorrowland. While you can't get a hug or high-five here, guests are welcome to hang around longer than at a traditional meet and greet watching and interacting with his adorable antics. I was once treated to an enthusiastic wave and backside wiggle as I shouted a greeting from aboard the highway in the sky, the
Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover.
If you'll be in 'Heartbreak Hotel' without a more personal interaction, Sarita, I suggest making a reservation for the
Best Friends Breakfast at 'Ohana, a family-style all-you-care-to-enjoy breakfast located in Disney's Polynesian Village Resort. Not only will you be personally greeted by your beloved mischievous (but also cute and fluffy) blue pal, if you look closely, you might even see him on your waffle!
Stitch has also been known to turn up at special events where I can assure you it's not the 'Devil in Disguise', it's just Stitch in his extra-special attire. My personal favorite is the Elvis costume he often wears to
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. Playing air guitar with Walt Disney World's very own King of Rock & Roll is a core Disney memory for me. Additionally, guests of 2023
Disney Jollywood Nights were treated to jolly old St. Stitch in his Santa-inspired finest. Because special event offerings vary each year, these meet and greets cannot be guaranteed. Be sure to keep an eye on
Disney Parks Blog for details as future events approach.
I would never dare to call our adorable little pal vain, but in my experience, he does love to see himself depicted on guest attire. So, if you're hoping for a bit of pixie dust during your magical meet and greet, you might consider sporting some
Stitch-inspired apparel. On our recent vacation to
Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa, it wasn't my left shoe he attempted to confiscate but rather the bucket hat featuring his likeness, resulting in a bit of delightful extra one-on-one time.
I hope this was helpful, Sarita, and that you have the chance to make Stitch part of your 'ohana. Until then, don't hesitate to
drop back by with any additional questions that arise.
Cheers to 2024,
Lizzie
