Pooh and tigger m&g at epcot?

[petitephlox]

A few weeks ago I had seen a "Meet Tigger and Pooh" in United Kingdom option at Epcot, but I'm not seeing it now. Is this only on certain days? Certain months? Thanks! We're going at the end of october.

They are gone now, part of the cost cutting.

They were part of the WDW budget cuts, as well as Aurora in France. Small chance they may come back before October, but nothing is published regarding Disney's plans.

Thanks for the info. Agh! Heartbreaking!

wow, sad to hear, they were always easy to see in England

Very sad to hear this. We saw Pooh & Tigger in "Christopher Robin's Room" in England in Epcot and had a great experience. I wonder if they're just planning to leave that room closed now? That'd be unfortunate because it was really cute.

Of all the recent changes Disney has made, this was the one that hurt the worst for me. On our last visit, my sister and I had the best experience at this meet, highlight of the whole trip. Characters were very high energy and CMs let us stay for a long time.

There aren't any plans for Pooh and Tigger to return to Epcot. They were cut to balance out the entertainment budget to allow for Baymax (and his large team) and Joy and Sadness.

Joy and Sadness begin meeting on April 3rd in the Character Spot.

Blurgh!! Pooh and tigger are such childhood classics. DD was most excited to meet them and Alice in Wonderland.

This makes me so sad We had the best time visiting Pooh and Tigger in Christopher Robin's Room. Really hoping they decide to bring them back.

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!
I don't even like Winnie :/ but this was one of the best M&G. My girls also don't care much about Winnie and Tigger however always very, very much enjoyed this

Sad, sad times... How much more are they going to cut?

 

[WEDWDW]

UK isn't the same since the guys got cut.

They were big British Revolution fans.

I'm super bummed about taking away this meet and greet, too. It was one of my favorites.

BUT the last few trips I was there, it was EMPTY - once we were literally the only people in line and no one else got in line the whole time we were there and we spent probably 10 minutes with them. It doesn't surprise me that they did away with it, unfortunately. (Just like it doesn't surprised me that they get rid of Streetmosphere performers in HS because of the number of times I've been the only one watching them).

It was pretty empty when I was there, also. The location was pretty tucked away, though. You sort of had to know what you were looking for.

That's what made it such a great meet and greet! It was rarely crowded and you weren't rushed. A hidden bit of magic...and poof! It's gone.

But that also probably worked against it and made it seem unpopular. What I liked most was that it was in Christopher Robin's room and not just a generic location like a lot of m&g.
