Toy Story Characters and Winnie the Pooh?h

[bcarson]

Does anyone know if they have a place to see Toy Story Characters? I know they have the Buzz ride. Also where is the best place to see Winnie the Pooh Characters and most important of all Tigger? Dk's 3 and 5 first trip. 3 year old dd carries a stuffed Tigger everyhwhere. Ds 5 has loved anything and everything Toystory since he was about 18 months. Appreciate any info.

The most reliable place to see Toy Story chracters (Buzz, Woody and Jessie) is Al's Toy Barn in MGM studios. It is located near the back of the park just past Muppets 3-D. Buzz sometimes appears in Tomorrowland. Woody may appear in Frontierland, but I'm not sure (I know that he does in DL, but don't know about WDW).

Winnie the Pooh characters can be found in several places. They are all at the Crystal Palace character meal in MK. I have also seen most of them in Toontown's Judge's Tent. In MGM, over by Who Wants to Be a Millionaire Play It, there is a line of several silver trailers. Different Pooh characters usually sign autographs here throughout the day. In Epcot, I have seen Pooh and Tigger in Epcot on the characters on holiday bus and in the UK. Finally, at AK they are often along the path between the tree of life and Dino land. I have often seen Tigger in the little alleyway just past the store (sorry, don't know the name), but before the bridge. The rest of the characters are sometimes just past there, but still before the bridge. There is a path that goes off to the right, I think towards the old boat docks. There should be a sign though. I have specifically seen Tigger in all of these places.

Have a great trip!!

Buzz Lightyear and his pals (usually Woody, sometimes Jessie and Bulseye) make regular appearances at Al's Toy Barn at the Disney-MGM Studios. Pick up a Times Guide at the park for appearance times.

Additionally, during peak periods Buzz Lightyear has been known to host Meet and Greet sessions outside of the Timekeeper Attraction in Tomorrowland at the Magic Kingdom. Again refer to a Times Guide when you arrive.

Tigger makes appearances daily inside the Tootown Hall of Fame in Mickey's Toontown Fair at the Magic Kingdom. He appears with his pals from the Hundred Acre Woods (Usually Winnie the Pooh and Eeyore... sometimes Piglet). Because this is an indoor location, the characters are there for the majority of the day. Refer to a Times Guide for exact times.

One other thought: Tigger appears at the Crystal Palace: A Buffet With Character for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner everyday at the Magic Kingdom. If you want to avoid waiting in line and be sure to see Tigger, make a priority seating for the Crystal Palace by calling 1-407-WDW-DINE.

Buzz Lightyear does not appear at any Character Meals.

Finally, if you are ever in search of a specific character and unsure where to find them, stop in to Guest Relations at any Walt Disney World Theme Park. A Guest Relations Host or Hostess will be happy to assist you in locating your favorite Disney friend.

Have a magical vacation!

I would highly recommend the character buffet at the Crystal Palace for seeing Tigger and friends! My boys are big Pooh and Toy Story fans as well. The breakfast w/ Pooh and Friends was truly a highlight of our trip! For as long as I live I will never forget the sight of my almost 2 year old literally running into Pooh's arms, collapsing on him and saying "my Pooh!" over and over. Tigger was great with the boys too...literally rolling on the floor with my 3½ year old. We were there between Christmas and New Years and booked breakfast at the last available time. We had almost an entire section of the restaurant to ourselves, had LOTS of time with each character and even managed to get a family pic with Pooh, Tigger and Piglet all together with us (not sure where Eeyore was at that time...must have needed a snack or somthing! ). Going at an "off" time definitely gave us more room and better character interaction even during the busiest week of the year.

I know the times guide had Buzz listed specifically with what times he would be in Tomorrowland in the MK. We got to get family pics with he, Woody and Jessie in front of Al's Toy Barn at MGM as well. They are specifically listed on the times guide for MGM. I would LOVE to see MGM start doing a Toy Story character meal sometime! Maybe with Toy Story 3 in the works it will happen eventually. The girls have all the neat princess meals, I bet a Toy Story meal would be just about as big a hit with the boys!

For Toy Story characters, Al's Toy Barn is the place to be. Buzz, Woody, and Jessie are usually on hand for meet and greets. The Green Army Men also have been known to roam MGM in their van. At MK, Buzz does meet-and-greets near Cosmic Rays (near the edge of Tomorrowland and Fantasyland) and Woody, Bullseye and Jessie appear in Goofy's Country Dancin Jamboree at the Diamond Horseshoe, but do not do meet-and-greets after the show.

As for Pooh and friends, the best laces to catch them is at Toontown Hall of Fame at MK, in the back of the Toy Soldier shop at EPCOT's UK Pavillion, in front of the Sorcerer's Hat at MGM, and at Discovery River Landing at AK (near the bridge to Dinoland on the Discovery Island side). Pooh anfd friends also appear at all meals at the Crystal Palace at MK and Pooh and a friend (usually Tigger or Eeyore) join Mary Poppins and friends at the character breakfast at 1900 Park Fare at GF.

this past January we saw Woody, Buzz, and Jessie at MGM like everyone else posted. We also saw Eeyore, Piglet, and Tigger at MGM near the soccerers hat. They also had Chip n Dale, Rafiki, Lilo, Stitch, Donald Duck, Goofy, Mickey and Minnie at the same time.
