Stitch's Great Escape!, Walt Disney World

Facts and practical information

Stitch's Great Escape! was an attraction located in the heart of Tomorrowland at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom in Bay Lake, Florida. Inspired by Disney's animated film "Lilo & Stitch," this attraction invited guests to a galactic prison transfer center where the mischievous alien Stitch caused playful havoc.

The experience was housed within a circular theater, designed to simulate a high-security space prison. The attraction utilized a combination of audio-animatronics, a 360-degree sound system, and special effects to create an immersive encounter with the blue extraterrestrial. Guests were cast as new security recruits and participated in the containment of the infamous Experiment 626, better known as Stitch.

Stitch's Great Escape! opened on November 16, 2004, replacing the ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter attraction. It was designed to be more family-friendly while retaining some of the thrilling elements of its predecessor. The attraction was unique for its use of sensory effects, including the feeling of Stitch jumping on guests' shoulders and the smell of his chili dog breath.

The attraction operated seasonally from October 2016 until its final closure on January 6, 2018. Despite the closure, Stitch's Great Escape! left a lasting impression on fans of the rambunctious character and those seeking an out-of-this-world adventure.
