Best Pooh veiwing strategies?

[crl]

Recently my DD has shown a big interest in Pooh and Friends. Since we leave in 14 days, I'm not holding my breath to get into that breakfast. Are there any other good ways to see them?

If you plan on visiting the Magic Kingdom, you will not be disappointed, then Mickey's Toontown fair in the judge's tent is where you will find many Pooh and Friends. I do hope this helps, and wish you only the best!

They are at the Crystal Palace for all 3 meals, why don't you try lunch instead.

They appear regularly in the UK world showcase EPCOT. Photo shoots in one of the shops (not sure the name of it) across the street from Rose & Crown Pub. I believe the times are posted daily on the tote board in UK.

We always do lunch at CP and often do not have PS. We have found that if you go to a place the late morning off and ask for PS for when the 1st start eating lunch you can get in with no problems. We have done this for CRT, Liberty Tavern, and CP with no problems. The best thing about CP is the food is all fresh and new. Less wait getting in because everyone is just getting seated and the charaters are fresh.

We love CP and never miss it. We might do dinner this year, but I always love lunch.


Oh here is my hint for seeing pooh and friends, I almost forgot it. At AK right as you are walking into the Dino land there is a pathway to the old boat docks. (to your right, near the bathrooms) Many times pooh and friends are there with very little wait and lots of time to spend with you. DD saw pooh for the 1st time there and walked right up to him and hugged him. She would have nothing to do with any other charater, but loved pooh.

Good luck. Have a great trip. Prepare here that the chartars are BIG as Daddy.

Pooh and friends can be found in every park! At Magic Kingdom, there are in the ToonTown Hall of Fame, which is the gift store between Minnie's and Mickey's Houses. When entering, go to the right, and there are lines there and one leads to Pooh and friends. We met Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, and Piglet there in November. They meet there for most of the day.

At MGM, they meet in front of the Big Hat, usually in the late mornings/early afternoons, like 11:00ish to 2:00ish, on half-hour intrevals. Usually two of the gang are out.

Like DisneyPHD said, at Animal Kingdom, Pooh and friends meet on a Dock on the way to Dinoland, right before the bridge. I seen Eeyore, Pooh, and Tigger there on every trip.

At Epcot, they can be found in the back of the Toy Store in England, off the main sidewalk. I also seen them in the courtyard area outside the Toy Store, and I seen them on the Epcot Bus, too.

Fortunately, Pooh and friends are pretty easy to find! Pooh, Tigger and Eeyore are most common. Piglet is somewhat rarer, but we usually see him somewhere on each trip. The really rare one is Rabbit, you would be really lucky to find him!

Have fun!!!

Try for the breakfast, but if you don't get it, don't sweat it. We got to see Pooh twice, and both times were wonderful! First time was in the MK at Toontown fair! This section opened up later than the park, so we were there at the entrance BEFORE opening. My girls were standing at the rope when Pooh, Tigger and Eeyore came out to drop the rope, opening up Toontown! Much to our delight, Pooh grabbed my oldest daughters hand, and Tigger my youngest, and walked them to the Meet and greets!! The meet and greets in Toontown were some of the best ones we encountered (second to those at Epcot when the bus of characters came riding in). The second time we saw Pooh was in Epcot in the UK.. he was there along with Eeyore and Piglet! They all posed together.

There is also a character spot off to the right as you head into Dinoland. All of the Pooh characters are there for pics and autos. It's kind of hidden so most people miss it. But the lines aren't very long that way

PS - I'd take the advice to try for lunch or dinner at Crystal Palace if breakfast is full. It's a fun resturant and the food is good

I just changed my PS to an earlier time and we leave Friday! Go ahead and try for CP! It might surprise you!

I am going to resist a bathroom reference. It is KILLING me though....hahahahahahahahahahhahahahah

 

[I am JEN]

We have dozens of pics of Pooh & friends at the Crystal Palace!

Absolutely try the toontown fair just before opening. We did this with my DD last August and Rabbit (yes Rabitt!!) lead her in. She then got to ride Barnstormer in the seat behind Goofy.

CP has pooh all three meals . It is not that hard to get a seating at one of them for sometime during your stay.
You can have a castmember call and see where pooh will be so you can go to that area.
We seemed to see Pooh a lot on our last trip. Good luck!!!!

Thanks so much for the help. I'll try to get another seating at CP. And hope that the lines for the meet and greet in MK aren't too bad.

Try to call for a PS now - can't hurt. You can give them the span of your days there and they can search for something.

My kids also saw them in EPCOT at the British pavillion.
