The time is almost here!

Meeting Time:  Saturday, January 20th, 12:00 pm

Meeting Location:  Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge - Jambo House

We're so excited to see you all at the 2024 Stitch the Magic event this Saturday!  We've been watching the weather and it seems to change hour by hour.  We have 2 options and we'll just have to wing it that morning.  We will post Mr. Bunny at the lobby entrance to direct you where we'll be.

(click on map to enlarge)

Option 1:  The Uzima Pool area (down the elevator/stairs and follow the signs), behind The Mara quick service restaurant.

Option 2:  The Sunset Overlook on the left side of the lobby behind the check-in desks.

We've got some fun activities in store for you all, including ways to earn more chances to win one of the door prizes!  We highly encourage everyone to bring their knit or crochet project for some show & tell and social stitching.

The Mara is a quick-service restaurant offering a variety of snacks and meals.  And the pool bar opens at 11:00 in case you enjoy a little adult beverage during social gatherings (I know I do!)  Everyone is welcome to purchase food and beverages to be consumed during the meet-up.

For those who have not already picked up their pre-ordered Pride Rock Packs, we will have them at the event for you to collect.  For those who have ordered T-shirts prior to the first deadline, we'll be distributing those there as well.  There are public restrooms close to each of our possible locations for a quick change, if you so desire.

If you'll be joining us on Sunday, January 21, 2024 in the Animal Kingdom Theme Park, please fill out the Theme Park Excursion Registration form with your contact information so we can let keep you up to date on all the details:  When and where to meet us, etc.

And finally, where to park for free to get to Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge?

1. If you are a annual pass-holder, you can park at any of the theme parks and catch the resort bus to AKL - Jambo House.
2. You can park at one of the Disney Springs' garages and catch the bus to AKL - Jambo House.  The bus ride itself is 30+ minutes and can be standing room only at times.  Please allow an extra half hour or more to wait at the bus station in addition to the us ride so you won't be late and miss out on some of the fun.
3. You can try your luck at Animal Kingdom Lodge itself.  Drive to the AKL main gate and kindly ask the gate guard for entrance.  If there is no other big event, or if they are feeling generous, they may let you park as a day guest.  You can tell them that you are going to the Mara restaurant, or going to the gift shop.  Since Stitch the Magic isn't an official event, they will not recognize it as such, so any mention might get you a blank stare.  If that doesn't work, parking at Disney Springs is your best option, however, please allow yourself plenty of time, just in case.

Looking forward to seeing everyone very soon!
