Santa Stitch is currently available to meet in Santa’s Control Room at Arcade Bêta in Videopolis. From November 11 to December 25, this area was dedicated to Santa Claus while Stitch met guests in Santa’s iconic red suit at the Old Mill in Fantasyland. After Santa Claus left the park on Christmas Day, Stitch stepped in for the rest of the season.
Those yet to meet Santa Stitch at the park will need to move fast. He’s scheduled for one last appearance in Discoveryland from 9.30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on January 7.
