Tomorrowland Meet-and-Greet Rethemed for Stitch at Magic Kingdom

Overview

• Disney quietly rethemed a former Buzz Lightyear meet-and-greet beneath the PeopleMover track overnight on Monday, July 13, installing an arched, spacecraft-viewport backdrop for Stitch.
• The update removed Toy Story-specific details and added blue and silver trim, painted planets and a starfield, and pulled up battery-inspired floor tiles while leaving a marquee-style “Space Ranger Map” sign in place.
• Stitch has been using the new photo-op and may meet there more often, Chip and Dale still appear in the area, and Buzz Lightyear has not held regular meets in that corner for some time.
• The change is one of several small updates reshaping Tomorrowland, following Space Ranger Spin’s exterior refresh, the removal of a 1994 decorative tower, and the temporary closure of Carousel of Progress for a reimagining, with unconfirmed rumors about other projects circulating.
• The visible holdovers and modest scope of the work indicate a phased retheming that gives Disney more flexibility for character rotations and photo-ops, and guests should consult the My Disney Experience app for current meet-and-greet schedules.
