Winnie the Pooh was my favorite Disney character from childhood through my 30’s and even now he is near the top of my list. When visiting Walt Disney World I like to visit with Pooh and a lot of my other Disney friends. My kids are at the age where they will get their picture taken with characters just to keep me happy but when they were younger they were both autograph hounds so I have lots of pictures of them with the characters.
Meeting Pooh in Animal Kingdom 2007
Sometimes the tricky thing is knowing where to find the characters. In Animal Kingdom you can usually find Pooh and some of his friends on Discovery Island as you are heading towards DinoLand USA and sometimes at Camp Minnie-Mickey. At Disney’s Hollywood Studios Pooh has been hanging out at the animation building but rumors say he is soon to be replaced. Pooh can often be found in the U.K. area of Epcot as well as in the Character Connection in Future World. In the Magic Kingdom you can find Pooh in Fantasyland. If character dining is your thing, you can find Pooh at the Crystal Palace for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and sometimes at 1900 Park Fare for breakfast.
I think meeting the characters is an important part of the “magic” that is a Disney vacation so make sure you take some time to meet your favorites.
Which do you like better…character meet & greets or character dining? Leave me a comment and let me know which one and why.
