Any chance Mr. Toad's Wild Ride will replace the Winnie the Pooh ride?

Mr Toad was still open in 1993, because that is the year I introduced my husband to WDW... in fact, Mr Toad was also open when we were there in August of 1998. Pooh opened in 1999.

I really loved that ride, and it was my favorite in Fantasyland (that distinction has now gone to Peter Pan's Flight). Although I would never want them to get rid of The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, I do wish they could find a way to reincorporate Mr Toad somewhere within the parks. I like the idea of a theme park with defunct attractions that could include, not only Mr Toad, but Horizons, World of Motion, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Doug, Live, and for restaurants and refreshments they could have the Soundstage Character Meal, and the Catwalk Bar!

Have fun at DL dgaston! And be sure to go on Storybook Land Canal Boats- they have a replica of Toad Hall. And not to mention it is one of the most darling attractions that Disney has ever made! It's one of my favorites. If you can, go on it at night also- the Aladdin Magic Carpet ride recreation part is just beautiful with lots of twinkling lights.

by Kenneth Grahame is the basis for the original Mr. Toad. It's a wonderful, very British, children's book published in 1908. I grew up on the story as did my own children who completely got the references in Mr. Toad's ride in Fantasyland. We've never seen the movie but LOVED the original book. I wish Disney had made more of the characters of mole, ratty and their pals. However, DO love the Pooh ride.

MTWR was still there in '96. I think they started on "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" around the same time as "Test Track" and the AK. I thought MTWR was really outdated! Pooh is very cute. I think it's at least worth getting a Fast Pass for!
