Sams Disney Diary: The Podcast

An attraction based on Winnie the Pooh dates back to 1977 and the "Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" Animated feature.  Imagineers made multiple attempts to bring pooh Bear to Disneyland – but Pooh Bear didn't make the cut for Disneyland's new fantasyland in 1983 or Mickey's Toon town in 1993.  In fact, Roger Rabbit's cartoon spin was based on a "spinnable" honey pot designed for a Winnie the Pooh attraction that never happened. A resurgence in Pooh's popularity in the mid-1990s, and the New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh animated series,  led to the development of a Winnie the Pooh attraction in Walt Disney Worlds' magic kingdom.   The Many Adventure of Winnie the pooh would open in June of 1999, replacing the popular Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.  You can find a hidden Mr. Toad in the Walt Disney World Attraction, a framed photo of Mr. Toad passing the dead for the building to Owl.
