Will Stitch be ready on time?

[Mileyfan1#]

SInce Stitch is my favorite character this hurts me the most. I am still holding out hope that it will be something cool, but seriously??? Stitch is a character that has so many possibilities and open ideas for rides, shows, etc, why do they insist on killing him with these sad ideas??!!!

Just do a real ride with Stitch and get it over with or a Turtle talk-style like the one in overseas. These sad attempts to cash in on the little publicity this little monster is worth is just pathetic and it makes people hate Stitch. That's not cool at all! Leave my little alien alone Disney, until you can do him justice.

I also love Stitch! Next time I go to DWD I am going to get a new Stitch!

Why does everybody need to bash every new thing that Disney creates these days?!

Enjoy them for what they are and not for what you want them to be. Please don't ruin them for the rest of us.

I have decided to wait until I actually see this in November to decide if I like it or not. As with anything else new there will be people who hate it and people who just like it and people who love it.

You get no argument from me on that one.

I can see kids liking this. If it removes people from the lines and rides, I will like it to. Other than that, I am not liking this at all. I don't like the placement. I don't like the design. I don't like another Stitch attraction.

It is that thinking that gives Disney permission to give us less than spectacular attractions and experiences, liek Stitch's Great Escape, Stitch's Supersonic Celebration, a still not complete SSE, and a cut in half refurb of Space Mountain. Disney used to hold themselves to a higher standard than everyone else. Now, it seems the attitude is, eh the people who come here won't care, they will just accept what we give them.

I can give a load of examples, but that is for another day, time, and thread.

I can confirm that Stitch soft opened yesterday. If you like Stitch you'll enjoy the show. It was fun and I'm not a huge Stitch fan. It should be running regularly by Saturday.

Actually it had a soft opening happened a few days ago. I thought it was/is cute. Just remember it's nothing like the attraction that has Stitch in the title. They might have been worried that COP's pre-show would interfer with the new show. But I don't think they have anything to worry about from that attraction. It's just another addition for this years celebration. And I still think it's cute.

Jack Spence has a good write-up and photos about the new Stitch show on his blog. Looks better than hoped.

Yea, if you like celebrating celebrations that celebrate celebrations. This show is in the wrong place for sure. And who wrote that script? Like I said, kids may like it, but other than that, this is not something I will ever care to see.

[trackbarroness]

Lucky me then eh? I'll get to see, okay hear the show at least 5 days a week.

[GrumpyFan]

I saw the Youtube video of the show, and it didn't look like something that was worth stopping for. Sorry, but it looks kind of cheesy, and that's being nice. It has some cool things though, where they're using the Living Character Initiative (?) and Stitch is on-screen conversing with people in the audience.

I feel bad for you.. I wouldn't wish this show on my worst enemy...

Cheesy is being too nice...

My friends, who live in Orlando, visited Magic Kingdom to check out this show... They sent me back pictures of the crowd.. 10 people, MAYBE, were sitting watching... He sent me pictures during the course of the day, and there were never more than 15 people watching this "show"... I know this is new, but, really, 15 people??? That's it??? I truly feel bad for the performers who are going to have to entertain in the sweltering heat, in front of no one, for a really bad show...

I heard some audio from the show and it sounded pretty bad and again it contradicts the story from the movie saying that Stitch's excile was self imposed. The interactive portion lasted all of about 3 minutes and I fast forwarded through most of the songs that certainly don't fit in Tomorrowland. My friend who saw the show said the screen was difficult to see with the angle of the sun. I also heard that very few people stopped to watch the show.

I called it an epic failure, so far, I haven't been wrong... I kind of hope it does fail big time.. Maybe they will quickly remove that monstrosity... However, I think they will just change the script, and make it even worse... And please don't say I am judging this before seeing it... I watched the videos.. It isn't a good show at all... Not even mediocre to where I would give it a chance in person...

You judged it before seeing it. There.

Check the dates of your earliest posts poo-poohing this show and compare to dates of availability of the YouTube videos. You judged first, and then you experienced the show. Of course the extent of your "experiencing" the show was by way of still photos from a like-minded individual and... a YouTube video. Like most concerts, I bet a recording is not quite the same as seeing it live. I think you should have to see it live to make any further comment on the subject; of course, I only say that because I know that you would obviously hate it, and the sense of schadenfreude I would enjoy from the situation would be delicious!

I like Stitch because I am not ethnocentric.

If it's such an epic failure, then why was there a nice size crowd experiencing the new stage show. I've had guests asking about the new show also. The music to be fair is actually in accord with the land. Think about what a lot of people say about Tomorrowland, and also remember to wait and see it in person before jumping to conclusions about it. Stitch is actually starting to sound more like well Stitch.
Watching vidios doesn't equal the experience to actually seeing it in person.
Have a magical day

I am with Dizneyfreak. Any picture or video I saw there has not been a decent sized crowd, unless 10 people is what is now considered decent sized. You can actually tell a lot from video. You get to hear the music, hear the script, watch them dancing. My opinion: the script is terrible. The dancing isn't anything new. The music, well, eh. Not my style of music, but, you can't exactly dance to what I listen to, so I won't judge that. However, I don't think this show is anything special.

By the way, how many people determined this show will be cute BEFORE seeing a video of it? Because they don't knock Disney, it is OK? Please, call them out too, not just those who think this show is a failure.

I'll be there in a few weeks. I may stop to check it out. I'll let you all know once I see it in person. But beware, I do not see things in Disney through Pixie dusted glasses like a lot of fans online do.
