First seen in Lilo & Stitch (2002), Stitch has rapidly become a Disney icon. The mischievous alien – who escapes to Earth and is adopted by a young girl named Lilo in the film – is renowned for wreaking havoc in Disney theme parks.

His first (and so far only) attraction at Walt Disney World Resort came in the form of Stitch’s Great Escape. Replacing The ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter in 2004, the attraction was wildly disliked by guests but never quite rivaled its opening day stunt in unpopularity. To mark the ride’s opening, Cinderella Castle was TP’ed by Stitch for a day – ruining the vacation pictures of thousands of tourists – and graffitied with the phrase “Stitch Is King!”
While the Disney park ride was closed in 2020, Stitch still has a regular presence throughout Disney World’s Parks. Guests can find Experiment 626 at ‘Ohana in Disney’s Polynesian Resort, as well as Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom, where adults and kids alike can often meet Stitch at the Rockettower Plaza Stage. Disney even referenced Stitch’s famous vandalism of Magic Kingdom to mark the release of the live-action Lilo & Stitch (2025).
It was at the latter that one guest had a slightly different interaction with the Disney character than usual. A TikTok shared by user DisneyFoodieRN shows “another Magic Kingdom fight,” this time between a guest and Stitch.
Of course, in typical Stitch fashion, this is more of a playfight than an actual fight. The video shows Stitch and a guest knocking a balloon back and forth toward each other’s faces.

The original poster references an increasing number of fights at Magic Kingdom in recent years. In 2023, a bloody fight broke out in front of the main train station for the Walt Disney World Railroad. Punches were thrown again that same year, this time in front of the Tomorrowland Speedway, while 2022 saw a massive fistfight in Fantasyland that included multiple Guests. Thankfully, this time around, the fight was more adorable than aggressive.
Have you ever witnessed a fight at Magic Kingdom?
