    With the release of Lilo & Stitch in theatres next month, will Disney World have more Stitch character opportunities in the park or other added events?

    Aloha, Cindy! 

    Thanks for surfing over to planDisney with your question.

    How fun that you're not just counting down to a new film, but to a Walt Disney World Resort vacation as well! Like you, I'm riding a wave of excitement as the release of Lilo & Stitch approaches, so I'm absolutely delighted to chat with you about a certain mischievous, Elvis-loving extraterrestrial.

    Since you'll be in the middle of the magic just after Lilo & Stitch hits theatres, I think you've asked a great question! Although no specific information has been announced regarding limited-time celebrations or character experiences, Disney's social media has featured Experiment 626 prominently in recent weeks, so Disney Destinations around the world might just be in for some out-of-this-world surprises when the film is released. I encourage you to keep your eyes on the Disney Parks Blog and Walt Disney World's social media to see if any updates are shared in the coming days and weeks. 

    I happened to be in The Most Magical Place on Earth when Lilo & Stitch premiered in 2002, and I remember posing with several fun photo-ops in (what we now know as) Disney's Hollywood Studios. More recently, I have heard that lots of Stitch-themed merchandise has been popping up in Walt Disney World's theme parks and at Disney Springs as we approach the premiere of the new film. There are also typically specially-themed snacks available at certain Walt Disney World dining locations on 6/26 Day, so all of this is a great sign for those of us hoping for a larger celebration of our cute and fluffy blue pal. 

    Of course, since no special appearances in celebration of the film have been announced, there's no guarantee that Stitch will deviate from his regular schedule. If this is the case during your visit, you'll be happy to hear that he's currently making mischief pretty regularly in Magic Kingdom Park. You can conveniently view his schedule in the My Disney Experience app! 

    I hope this was helpful, Cindy, and that your 'ohana has a wonderful time in The Most Magical Place on Earth!

    Thinking Happy Thoughts,
    Lizzie
