Where to Find Winnie the Pooh Characters at Walt Disney World

Here's Where to Find Winnie the Pooh & Friends in the Magic Kingdom -

1.) "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" is a very sweet and gentle ride in the Fantasyland area of the Magic Kingdom. It features scenes from the classic Winnie the Pooh adventures. There is a Winnie the Pooh themed gift shop at the end of this ride. You'll see Pooh, Owl, Kanga, Baby Roo, Tigger, Eeyore, and Rabit. This ride is very popular and FASTPASS tickets are available. Trivia: This was the Mr. Toad's Wild Ride until September 1998. You have to look for it but there is spot on the ride where there is a picture of Mr. Toad handing the deed over to Owl.

2.) Winnie the Pooh themed souvenirs can be purchased in the "Hundred Acre Goods" (formerly called "Pooh's Thotful Shop") near "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" attraction.

3.) Winnie the Pooh and Friends appear for character meet & greets in Fantasyland.

4.) Character Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner at the Crystal Palace. This buffet-style restuarant has food that is better than most of the food you find in the Magic Kingdom. Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, and Piglet go from table to table giving hugs, signing autographs, and posing for pictures.

5.) Celebrate A Dream Come True Parade - this is the Magic Kingdom's afternoon parade and is usually presented at 3:00PM. At very peak seasons, it may also be offered around noon. Winnie the Pooh appears on the third float.

6.) Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party (special seasonal event) - A Costumed pooh is sometimes available for photos and autographs. The "Boo To You" parade is offered twice during the party and features Tigger, Plglet, Pooh, and Eeyore in costumes walking ahead of a float that has Kanga & Roo with Rabbit.

7.) Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party (special seasonal event) - The "Once Upon A Christmas" parade is offered twice during the party and features Tigger, Plglet, Pooh, and Eeyore in holiday garb walking ahead of a float that has Kanga & Roo with Rabbit

Note: "Pooh's Playful Spot" closed in April 2010 to make way for the big Fantasyland Expansion that will be in various stages of redevelopement into 2013. Parts of this area were incorporated into the interactive area at the entrance of "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh".
