"Former Imagineer here, the reason why Stitch will never have a major attraction overhaul is because it shares the same building as Cosmic Rays. Due to the asbestos in the facility and building code changes since the 70’s, both Cosmic Rays and the attraction would have to go down and be brought up to code. Cosmic rays generates Millions a week and they cannot lose that revenue.

Buzz Lightyear is the most expensive costume and NASA helped design it. It’s made from fiber glass and costs about $8,000. The cheapest costume is Eeyore at between $300-400 because he and the other Pooh characters are mostly made of carpeting."
