G'day, Kylie, and welcome to planDisney! I am also a fan of Stitch – he's such a fun mix of mischievous, loving, and sweet. Can I pause for a moment and say how excited I am to see the live-action Lilo & Stitch? Now, let's talk about your upcoming visit!
Kylie, unfortunately, Stitch is hard to track down, so it may not be possible to meet him. He must be too busy surfing and causing trouble! There have been times when he's been at the Disney Visa Cardmember Photo Opportunity in Hollywood Land, but that is an exclusive offer for cardholders. It was recently announced that Stitch will host an
Interplanetary Beach Party in Tomorrowland for a limited time, but that won't start until May 23, 2025.
The Disneyland mobile app is a great tool to use during your time in the parks. You can use it to view the attraction wait times and entertainment schedules. You can also see which Characters are meeting with Guests. You can always wish upon a star that Stitch will be on that list when you visit! If you aren't able to download the app or if it doesn't work quite right, try again once you arrive in California. I also recommend following the
Disneyland account on Instagram and checking the
Disney Parks Blog periodically for news about our favorite blue alien, especially with the new movie coming soon.
I have a few other ideas for adding Stitch-themed fun to your Disneyland Resort visit, Kylie! Take a cruise on
"it's a small world" and look for Lilo and Stitch surfing! It's scheduled to reopen on April 25, 2025 after an extended refurbishment. You can also stop by
Animation Academy in California Adventure to see if Stitch is on the schedule – if he is, you'll have the opportunity to learn how to draw him. There is also plenty of Stitch merchandise throughout the Disneyland Resort, including hats, pins, shirts, bags, toys, and more! The biggest collection I've seen lately is at Adventureland Bazaar near Jungle Cruise. Make sure to stop there and take a look around!
Kylie, I hope this information is helpful as you prepare for your upcoming visit. If you have any other questions, please let us know. We're always happy to help here at planDisney!
Mahalo,
Kriss
