Back in 2017, the merchandise team at Disney’s Hollywood Studios put together a program that is still amazing guests (and cast members) in addition to showcasing the power of social media.
THE UPDATE
When visiting the park in 2022, most of the Stitch’s of Hollywood have been “retired”. This is due to a number of factors, but my goal is to keep this article up as a reminder of this once amazing part of the Disney World merchandise story.
The final remaining Stitch is #JEDISTITCH at Tatooine Traders

THE BACKGROUND
Stitch was introduced to the shops of some of the most popular attractions in the Studios, with a fun twist. He had an official Walt Disney World nametag with a name that included a hashtag, which allowed guests to share on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
This was a fun addition to a park that’s still finding it’s identity after a heavy overhaul, with the addition of Toy Story Land, Star Wars Galaxy Outpost and Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway.
