Stitch Meet and Greet for Reopening of Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park

Surf’s Up, Stitch! The Blue Alien is Making a Splash at Typhoon Lagoon This Summer

Hang ten with Experiment 626! As Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon reopens its gates this Thursday, May 1, there’s one extra-special reason to soak up the sun and ride the waves: Stitch is back, and he’s ready to cause some good old-fashioned tropical mayhem!

That’s right, everyone’s favorite mischief-making alien has traded his space suit for a lei and is popping up for surprise appearances at Typhoon Lagoon throughout the summer season. You’ll find him chilling (or rather, thrilling) near the Surf Pool outside The Board Room, which just got a fresh coat of vibrant paint, making it the perfect selfie station. With the beachy vibes, bright colors, and a splash of outer space chaos, it’s a must-stop spot for Stitch fans.

Say Aloha to Summer Fun with Stitch

Whether you’re team “ohana means family” or just love a good photo op with a character who knows how to party, spotting Stitch at Typhoon Lagoon is a highlight you won’t want to miss. He rocks a colorful lei and brings tons of personality — be prepared for some hugs, hijinks, and maybe even a shaka or two.

Keep your camera ready because Stitch’s appearances are unscheduled and spontaneous, just like the little guy himself. And trust us: nothing says “best vacation ever” like a beach day photobombed by a blue alien.

Make a Splash Beyond Stitch

Of course, there’s a tidal wave of fun waiting beyond character sightings! Typhoon Lagoon is bursting with thrills like Crush ‘n’ Gusher, Miss Adventure Falls, and the heart-pounding Humunga Kowabunga. If you’re more into chill than thrill, float your worries away down Castaway Creek or soak up the sun on sandy shores. And the little adventurers in your crew? They’ll be busy giggling and splashing in Ketchakiddee Creek, built just for them.

Don’t forget to fuel up! From barbecue chicken flatbread to indulgent chocolate chip ice cream sandwiches, this isn’t your average water park menu. And yes, the fan-favorite Waterparks Sand Pail Sundae is back and ready to be devoured.

Glow Wild This Summer with H2O Glow After Hours

Starting May 23 through September 13, Typhoon Lagoon heats up after dark with the return of H2O Glow After Hours! These neon-lit, DJ-spinning, snack-filled nights are perfect for night owls and party animals. Bonus: kids get in for just $42.50 — that’s half the adult price!

And yes, Stitch has been known to light up the night too, so keep your eyes peeled during these special evenings. After all, who parties harder than Stitch?

Double the Water Park, Double the Fun

This summer brings even more splashy goodness: Blizzard Beach reopens May 21! For the first time since 2019, guests can choose between two incredible Disney water parks. Whether you prefer tropical paradise or a snowy slope (in the middle of Florida, of course), you’re covered.

Even cooler? If you’re staying at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel in 2025, you’ll get free water park admission on your arrival day. Now that’s a warm welcome!

Ready to Ride the Wave?

From Stitch sightings to glow parties and double water park action, Typhoon Lagoon is the place to be this summer. Grab your swimsuit, your appetite, and your favorite alien plushie, and get ready for a summer that’s as unforgettable as Stitch’s laugh.
