How to Ride The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh has a Standby Line and a Lightning Lane. There is no Single Rider Line.

Eligible guests can also ride the attraction during Early Theme Park Entry and Extended Evening Theme Park Hours.

Do I need to use Genie+ at The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh?

Genie+ is available at The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh and spots typically run out here late afternoon to early evening.

Like many Fantasyland attractions, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh is notorious for having long lines during the daytime hours.

As night falls and families with little ones head out, the waits will drop. But if this is a priority for your family, grabbing a Genie+ reservation is a good idea.

Be sure to check out our touring strategies for Magic Kingdom for more Genie+ advice.

Rider Switch/Child Swap

As there is no height requirement for The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, this attraction does not offer Rider Switch.

Rider Switch is Disney’s system that allows guests with small children to take turns riding bigger rides, while another person/people wait with the little one.

What to Expect When You Ride

Queue

This is one of those rides that the queue is actually a large part of the experience!

In 2010, the queue for The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh received an interactive upgrade. It was one of the first attractions that incorporated hands-on activities to prevent boredom during long waits.

First, you’ll see a storybook page that shows you just what to expect through the queue and you’ll be able to actually take a peek inside of Pooh Bear’s house.

You’ll then see an illustration of Piglet’s house. Knock on the door to hear him stammer through a few cute phrases.

Kids can crawl through Eeyore’s house, then check out gophers and carrots popping up in Rabbit’s garden before taking a turn beating the melon and pumpkin drums.

Kids can also can grab a bee to buzz along the metal track from hive to hive.

Right before you board your ride vehicle, you can write your name in the walls dripping with digital honey.

Ride Vehicles

Ride Vehicles for The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh have been designed to look like honey pots, or should we say “hunny pots” – Winnie the Pooh’s favorite treat!

There are two rows to each “pot” and each row can fit two adults. A safety bar is lowered onto your lap prior to entering the ride.

Accessibility Information

For those in ECVs, you must transfer to a wheelchair. There is a wheelchair-equipped hunny pot so those in wheelchairs may remain in them. Make sure to ask a Cast Member for assistance.

Handheld captioning is available for those who need it.

On the Ride

If you prefer to experience The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh without any spoilers, you may want to skip this part.

Board your hunny pot and enter the pages of a Winnie the Pooh storybook on The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.

Get swept up in a blustery day where you’ll see Piglet spinning around on a broom, Pooh Bear holding onto a balloon and reaching for some honey, and Kanga holding onto Roo as he begins to blow away.

You’ll see Owl’s home and then enter into a second giant storybook page where Tigger bounces out. You’ll feel your ride vehicle bounce up and down along with Tigger as he makes his way through the Hundred Acre Wood.

But beware of Heffalumps and Woozles! As you join Winnie the Pooh in his dreams, you’ll navigate these colorful creatures of every shape and size, before making your way back to a very rainy Hundred Acre Wood.

The vehicles move into the final scene, where everyone apart from Pooh is celebrating that the rain has gone away. You move past Pooh enjoying some much-deserved honey before leaving the Hundred Acre Wood.

Is The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh Kid-Friendly?

Absolutely! This is definitely one for the little ones, but why not bring the whole family along?

Strollers

Strollers are not allowed in most queues at Walt Disney World, including for The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. They can be left at the designated stroller parking area across from the ride near Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.

History

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh opened on June 5, 1999, replacing Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride, one of the original opening day attractions at the Magic Kingdom.

In 2010, Disney added interactive elements to the ride queue to prevent boredom in visitors of all ages. It became one of the first attractions to have an interactive queue.

Since the Magic Kingdom attraction opened, similar Winnie the Pooh-themed rides have opened in Tokyo Disneyland, Disneyland Park in California, and Hong Kong Disneyland.

Other Fun Details

• The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh is based on the 1968 Disney Featurette “Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day.”
• Voice actor Paul Winchell gave his final performance as Tigger for this attraction.

• During the scene in Owl’s house, there is a framed picture on the wall just as you enter of Mr. Toad handing over a deed to Owl. This was Disney Imagineers’ way of paying tribute to the original ride that occupied the space, Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride. Another tribute to Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride can be found outside of The Haunted Mansion at the Magic Kingdom where you’ll see a Mr. Toad statue in the Pet Cemetery.
