Stitch Returns to Walt Disney World's Disney Springs After Months of Absence

After months of absence, Stitch has returned to Walt Disney World's Disney Springs. The beloved character had been missing from his usual spot in front of the World of Disney store since earlier this summer.

The large figure of Stitch stretches out his arms and grins at guests below as he watches over the store once again. His return brings back a familiar piece of Disney Springs for longtime visitors, but it's not the only thing that has fans excited about the character.

Stitch's popularity remains strong, with merchandise featuring the character still widely available around Walt Disney World. The live-action Lilo & Stitch film released in 2025 has also introduced a new generation to the beloved characters.

While his return is a welcome sight for fans, many are still holding out hope that Disney will bring back a permanent attraction centered on the character. Stitch's Great Escape, which opened at Magic Kingdom in 2004, may have been closed, but its legacy lives on in the hearts of fans.
