Stitchmas! Brings a New Lilo and Stitch Dance Party to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party Starting November 8

After a Halloween masquerade in Tomorrowland, Stitch is sticking around for the holidays, with Lilo at his side again.

Disney has added Stitchmas!, a new Lilo and Stitch dance party, to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom. Disney World now has an official entertainment page titled "Stitchmas! at Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party," and Blog Mickey reported the details on Wednesday morning, four days before the party season opens on Sunday, November 8.

What Stitchmas! is

According to Blog Mickey, Disney's description reads: "Celebrate Stitchmas! at an out-of-this-world holiday party. Dance, sing and play along as Lilo and Stitch reminisce with some of their closest friends about holidays on the island. Make merry memories together as you rock around the tinsel tree!" Disney's own Stitchmas! page does not list a location yet, so the details below come from Blog Mickey:

• Where: inside Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe in Tomorrowland
• When: select party nights from November 8 through December 22
• Who can go: guests of all ages, with no extra charge beyond a party ticket
• Set times: not posted yet. Blog Mickey says the My Disney Experience listing does not show times so far

Disney's description does not name the "closest friends" who join Lilo and Stitch. Angel danced with them at this year's Halloween party, so Blog Mickey thinks she could turn up again, but that is a guess until opening night.

It takes over Jingle Jam's old room

Last year, Disney Jr. Jingle Jam filled Cosmic Ray's for the whole party, from 7:00pm to midnight, according to Blog Mickey's 2025 showtimes guide. Jingle Jam is nowhere on Disney's 2026 party page, which Blog Mickey takes as a sign that Stitch is now the big draw for little dancers. Blog Mickey adds that Club Tinsel, the DJ dance party, moved out of the restaurant to the Rockettower Plaza Stage last year.

Stitch's second party of the year

This is Stitch's second hard-ticket party gig at Magic Kingdom in 2026. During Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, he hosted A Masquerade with Stitch on the Rockettower Plaza Stage, where Lilo and Angel joined him and each new accessory he pulled from Lilo's Costume Trunk switched the theme, Blog Mickey notes. Stitchmas! takes the dance party indoors instead, built around Lilo and Stitch remembering holidays on the island.

Pooh is moving for the party, too

Stitch is not the only change to the party map. Blog Mickey also reported that Disney is sending Winnie the Pooh and friends to Storybook Circus to meet guests on party nights, from November 8 through December 22.

Pooh and Tigger's everyday meet and greet is The Thotful Spot in Fantasyland, beside The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. According to Blog Mickey, Disney still shows daytime greeting times there, so the switch seems to apply only during party hours. Blog Mickey also says Disney has not named the exact Storybook Circus location or the friends joining Pooh. During the party that corner of Fantasyland is already Santa's Christmas Carnival, where Santa greets guests.

If you still need a ticket

Disney lists party tickets at $189 to $229 each plus tax, priced by date, with $10 off for children ages 3 to 9. Blog Mickey's latest ticket check found 16 of the 25 party nights already sold out, so check Disney's party page for the dates that are left. If Pooh is on your list, Blog Mickey recommends watching the My Disney Experience app on the night itself for his times and exact spot.
