I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes an elaborate meet and greet area for not just Stitch but Monsters Inc and Buzz Lightyear as well. If it does become the home to these meet and greets, it's gonna stay like that for a long time.
My biggest fear is that this M&G will get high GSATs and it will be a long ass time before we see a new attraction in there.
I still maintain that the Stitch AA - when in its prime - was worth the proverbial price of admission. I won't miss the attraction, but I'll miss that AA, and I certainly won't be pleased to see a meet-and-great taking over for an indefinite amount of time...
... because M&Gs are not attractions, despite what Disney wants us to believe.
Just like with Timekeeper the holding pen will be turned into a standard meet and greet. Do I have inside info? Not here. But history does tend to repeat itself in instances like this.
I am under the impression that WDI is using the theaters to test something really cool. No clue what it is or what it's for.
perhaps they're integrating whatever is being tested into the physical equipment in SGE, instead of moving the theaters in the round they're testing stuff there
Could it be related to TRON possibly or something else they are considering for Tomorrowland refresh?I am under the impression that WDI is using the theaters to test something really cool. No clue what it is or what it's for.
But Stitch was still capable of operating, which suggests very little was touched inside. So I suspect JH got his wires crossed and no such testing was done inside the building - short of an upgrade for the AA to a meet/greet puppet setup.
All I was told is they are testing something in there. And this was told to me yesterday so I'm pretty sure it's not the VR thing.
I'm guessing an upgrade or a total do over is on the near horizon for this spot.
They're testing fart smells. When the kids hug Stitch at the proposed M&G, Stitch farts. Disney's attempt at interactivity.All I was told is they are testing something in there. And this was told to me yesterday so I'm pretty sure it's not the VR thing.

Rumor is they are testing more Living Character Initiative tech. Trying to get an AA version of Laugh Floor.
That would be absolutely awesome. Disney absolutely destroys everybody else when it comes to character encounters. I love all of the LCI stuff they've done and I hope they do more. When people (myself included) talk about Disney magic, there's often a character involved.Rumor is they are testing more Living Character Initiative tech. Trying to get an AA version of Laugh Floor.
