Stitch's Great Escape! moves to seasonal operation

Stitch's Great Escape! at the Magic Kingdom is moving to seasonal operation next month.

The attraction will have its final day of daily operations on October 1 2016, with its next scheduled opening on November 19 for the busy holiday week.

It will then close on November 27, reopening again on December 17 for the Christmas and New Year week. Even during those seasonal openings, the operating hours will be restricted to 10am to 8pm.

Stitch's Great Escape has been an unpopular attraction since its opening in 2004, where it replaced the highly rated Alien Encounter attraction.

The move to seasonal operation suggests that work may well begin on its replacement in the new year, with a Wreck It Ralph attraction rumored to move in. Read more about that on the WDWMAGIC Forums.

It looks like this new Fantastic 4 movie would fit Tomorrowland like a glove… but I think those characters are restricted by the Universal contract unfortunately

Any money found must be immediately turned over to Bob to fund New Frontierland.

Honestly from the perspective of a 17 year old and a big wall-e fan sounds more fun than the woolly mammoth dig the fake dirt always gets in my shoes!

Confirmed: Wall-E World will be replacing Planet Watch at AK. Guests will dig through piles of trash looking for any existence of life.

Guardian's is obviously a World Showcase pavilion... Just a different World and as far from the physical World showcase as possible.
