Anyone know when Stitch is supposed to open?

Although I personally like AE, I know my son will like Stitch and I am wondering if it will be open before we go at the end of May.

Thanks!

Sorry, but it doesn't appear so. The following is from a WDW Press Release:

Mischief Abounds in Stitch's Great Escape!

The Academy Award-nominated film “Lilo & Stitch” inspires the new Magic Kingdom attraction Stitch’s Great Escape! scheduled to open in late 2004.

A “pre-quel” set shortly before the events of the hit Disney motion picture “Lilo & Stitch,” the family-friendly adventure in Tomorrowland will showcase the mayhem caused by the mischievous “Experiment 626” -- a.k.a. Stitch -- when first discovered in the Galactic Federation.

Entering Stitch’s Great Escape! Magic Kingdom guests are recruited by the Galactic Federation Grand Councilwoman to provide additional security for a captured alien whose reputation for being extremely “difficult” has preceded him. Even so, authorities underestimate Stitch’s capacity for playful disobedience, causing havoc to erupt with guests caught in the middle of the fun.

Stitch’s Great Escape! will feature some of the most sophisticated Audio-Animatronics® technology ever developed by Walt Disney Imagineering.

Stitch’s Great Escape! replaces The ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter, which will close later this month.
