I always thought that show was kinda cute, I would take it over losing the Tiki room to a moana meetngreet!!! At one time a few years ago there was a plan to move stitch to the tiki room.

I'd take Stitch in the Tiki Room if it meant keeping it fairly intact. I think Moana deserves more than shoehorned into the Tiki Room (if that's actually what occurs, I don't know that we know either way at this point) but I'd also *maybe* be open to Moana being added to the Tiki Room if they integrate the birds and other things, it *could* work, but it's all in the execution. I don't mind UP going into Flights of Wonder but it's a shame two good IPs get shoehorned into shows. (And again, no one has confirmed Moana replacing the Tiki Room, as far as I know, but it's possible I missed that tidbit)
The https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/attractions/magic-kingdom/stitchs-great-escape/ landing page has been updated to reflect that Stitch's closure is now "officially" temporary. The change to the site shows "Stitch's Great Escape! - Temporarily Closed" in the header. The operational calendar shows it closure for the unseeable future but Disney's not discounting the idea of opening it up again during the busy season per our insiders. At least we now know with 100% certainty, that in an official capacity, the attraction is only "temporarily" closed.
A truly craptastic bit of info this coldass'd morning.

20K is still temporarily closed. They’ll refill the lagoon any day, now. I can feel it.
The Peoplemover IS* due for an update/overhaul. It needs multiple vignettes, adding Stitch couldn't hurt! I like it. Good idea!

When I rode the train yesterday the Stitch narration was removed when passing through Tomorrowland, compared to when I rode in Nov while Stitch was still closed but the narration on the train could still be heard.

Yep - Various Vlogs I watched posted recently also had that narration removed.
Buzz Lightyears narration was also missing but that's a whole other topic together.

Taken together that sounds like an indication of a Peoplemover update.

Isn’t that narration removed whenever Stitch is “temporarily closed”? It was turned off last March before they reopened for summer.

Not sure to be honest, but both Stitch and Buzz have no narration at all at the moment.
I'm going to the park in 16 days for my trip, so I'll be able to listen myself.

We will never see Alien Encounter, or an attraction like it, at WDW again. Which is unfortunate IMO but Disney will never go back down the thematic route they took with Alien Encounter, not after the uproar that the attraction prompted.

I went on it once and don’t remember it being that bad.. the preshow was the only part that seemed off..
Ultimately parents should plan for Disney. Guides like the unofficial give great info about scare factors and even pouring over that and having been to Disney several times, I wasn’t prepared for what would throw my stepdaughter off when she was 7. Our solution was to just reassure her that it was just disney magic, which seemed to work well.

Thems big words. Hope you're wrong. I think the attraction type itself is a great concept. I wouldn't mind seeing a similar attraction in WDW. If you're referring to the horror aspect.. yeah that, that would only work in HS nowadays. Seeing as how it WAS a proven success, just deemed "too scary" I wouldn't discount it's return. Maybe not A.E. but something similar being born from it's ashes could happen, hypothetically.
