The Disneyland Report > Disney News > Stitch's Great Escape! Promises Pandemonium For Walt Disney World Guests Disney News Stitch's Great Escape Promises Pandemonium For Walt Disney World Guests Mischievous Alien Busts Loose at Magic Kingdom attraction with opening date of November 16 LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Fans of Walt Disney Pictures' hit film "Lilo & Stitch" know him as a cuddly but destructive alien prone to hilarious fits of havoc. But what was Stitch like before the movie? Walt Disney World guests will find out when they come face to face with the mischievous character in a new Magic Kingdom attraction -- Stitch's Great Escape! The official opening date for Stitch's Great Escape is November 16. The laughter-filled Tomorrowland adventure puts guests in the middle of the mayhem caused by the naughty "Experiment 626" -- a.k.a. Stitch -- when he's captured by the Galactic Federation and teleported to a processing center for alien prisoners. Park guests are recruited to provide additional security when the six-limbed alien arrives with a reputation for playful disobedience -- and an appetite for chaos that exceeds all limits. Sights, sounds and -- ewwww! -- smells add to the pandemonium. Parents, take note: Stitch's Great Escape! includes periods of darkness and loud noises. Guests are urged to read posted caution signs before entering. Bringing a character from an animated film to life as an Audio-Animatronics figure presented a unique challenge for Walt Disney Imagineers. The result is a 39-inch-tall version of the unstoppable blue menace animated with a breathtaking degree of realism, one of the most complex creations of its size, custom-made by Imagineers with more than 350 detailed, hand-machined parts and more than 40 separate functions. In addition to Stitch, the fun-filled attraction features several characters familiar to fans of the film, including the Galactic Federation's Grand Councilwoman, Captain Gantu and Agent Pleakley, with voices supplied by the movie's original actors. Also featured are two "plasma cannons" that follow Stitch's DNA whenever -- and wherever -- it moves. Stitch's Great Escape! offers Disney's FASTPASS, the innovative free service available to all guests that eliminates the need to wait in long lines at popular attractions. Online, fans of the crafty alien can learn more about the new attraction and help Stitch explore Magic Kingdom in Stitch's Escape Game, a free download available for Windows PCs at www.stitchescape.com.

''Alien Encounter'' and ''The Living Seas'' at the Walt Disney World Resort are to open today with a makeover.

The Alien Encounter attraction at Tomorrowland in the Magic Kingdom has been revised to include Experiment 626 from the movie ''Lilo & Stitch''. Now called ''Stitch's Great Escape!'', the dog-like blue creature will lash out of its tube and terrorise the audience. The Galactic Federation's Grand Councilwoman, Captain Gantu and Agent Pleakley appear in this show, essentially a prequel to the movie.

At the Living Seas, Crush the sea turtle from the Disney/Pixar movie ''Finding Nemo'' will host a new exhibit called ''Turtle Talk'', joining smaller Nemo exhibits, a mainstay at the attraction for several months. Vegetarian shark Bruce will soon become part of a shark education exhibit.

According to publicity, the Turtle Talk show will run every 15 minutes, from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm. A sign language interpreted performance will run on Fridays at 10:30 am.

Disney is holding the  Stitch's Great Escape! Sweepstakes, with prizes including a five-day, four night trip for four to Walt Disney World Resort.
