Aloha, Charlotte!
Mahalo for stopping by planDisney! Is there a feeling greater than when you receive that email confirming your next
pixie-dusted vacation? I can't think of one right now. Like you, saying 'Hiiiiii!' to our mischievous (but also cute and fluffy) blue pal is always at the top of my magical must-do list, so I'm happy to channel my inner (friendlier version of) Captain Gantu to help you track him down.
Currently, the only officially confirmed meet-and-greet with Stitch can be found at the
Best Friends Breakfast at 'Ohana, a family-style all-you-care-to-enjoy breakfast located in Disney's Polynesian Village Resort. Here you'll be treated to a delicious breakfast (featuring Stitch waffles) in addition to a table visit by Lilo, Stitch, and Mickey in his Hawaiian finest. With such memorable character appearances, it is a very popular character dining experience (for mini and mature Mouseketeers alike), so reservations are recommended. These become available 60 days from your Disney Resort hotel check-in date, but if you don't have success securing one when your reservation window opens, keep checking periodically to see if someone changes their plans. If all else fails, you can also join the mobile walk-up list same day as availability allows. Because Disney's Polynesian Village Resort is located on the
Resort Monorail, it's super convenient to pop in on days you're planning to visit EPCOT or Magic Kingdom Park.
As a Stitch fangirl myself, I am happy to share a bit of personal experience, but to prevent any potential
Suspicious Minds, it's important to remember that these are not guaranteed appearances as they were not listed in the
My Disney Experience mobile app. I recently spotted Experiment 626 greeting Guests in
Magic Kingdom Park's Tomorrowland just past the exit to
Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin. I was also delighted to discover that he was appearing in a 30-minute rotation with my other two favorites, Chip and Dale in their futuristic finest. Meet-and-Greets with these three rascally guys are always a good time, so I hope you get the chance to stop by!
My fellow panelists know of my
Burnin' Love for everyone's favorite extraterrestrial, so they keep me posted on his whereabouts during their visits. My pal
Alison helpfully reported he was roaming in
EPCOT just yesterday.
Please keep in mind that you have several months to anticipate your magical vacation, so all of this is subject to change before your arrival. For the most up-to-date information, I suggest checking the Characters indicated for appearances in each theme park in the app once your vacation begins. You're also welcome to stop back by to see if your
resident planDisney Stitch enthusiast has any updates for you.
I hope this was helpful, Charlotte, that you have the chance to make Stitch part of your 'ohana next year. Until then, remember that you can always keep up with his antics on Disney+. Oh, and also to never give Pudge tuna.
Cheers,
Lizzie
