If you are traveling to Orlando soon and wondering where to find Stitch at Disney World, this is the post for you! Stitch is one of my clients’ favorite characters from the series Stitch’s Great Escape and the 20th anniversary of Lilo & Stitch from the Walt Disney Company movies. Keep reading to find out more info on who Stitch is, where you can find him, and some great details on other fantastic character experiences in the Disney parks.
Who is Stitch?
Stitch is one of the newer Disney characters. He is a friendly little alien who befriends Lilo Pelekai in Hawaii. He is one of the most lovable characters and for many kids, and adults, finding a character meet with him or having a dining experience with Stitch is the highlight of their visit to Disney World!
Where can you find Stitch at Disney World?
You can find Stitch in the Magic Kingdom at the Walt Disney World theme parks. The best place to spot him is in Tomorrowland, close to Buzz Lightyear Spaceship Spin, Cosmic Ray’s Cosmic Cafe, the Carousel of Progress, and Space Mountain roller coaster. To find Tomorrowland, simply enter the main gates of Magic Kingdom, pass the Town Square Theater, and head down Main Street. Turn right to enter Tomorrowland before you reach Cinderella Castle, near the Hub.
You will often find Stitch at the Rocket Tower Town Stage in Tomorrowland, having a great time dancing and interacting with the guests of the Disney parks. Check the My Disney Experience app for the latest info on where and when to find him meeting guests. You can also ask any cast member who will be happy to direct you.
In general, this is more of a character sighting rather than a traditional meet-and-greet experience with character autographs. Stitch will pose behind guests for photos. However, Stitch has also been sighted for the first time exploring Tomorrowland amongst the guests, which is exciting for many fans!
EPCOT also hosts Stitch at times, particularly in the World Showcase, so be sure to explore each pavilion for surprise encounters. Don’t forget to bring your autograph book and camera to capture those precious moments with Stitch, creating lasting memories for your family.

Watch out for Stitch’s antics as he interacts with guests, adding an extra sprinkle of fun to your meal!
One of the pros of character meals is that it offers families several opportunities to spot their favorite characters while dining. The Best Friends’ Breakfast offers scrambled eggs, breakfast potatoes, Stitch and Mickey waffles, ham with pineapple, and a variety of fresh fruit and breads.
Pricing for this character dining option is $35 for kids and $60 for adults. Be sure to bring along your autograph book and camera, as the characters will stop by each table for a visit!
