Winnie-the-Pooh

Every bear, I'm like, wait a second.

Was it Winnie the Pooh or was it Winnie Pooh?

Right.

It's the Pooh.

He'd been sick for a little bit, so it wasn't...

It's not that I didn't expect it, but the only thing I think that could have hit me harder is if the guy that's the voice of Pete and Pooh Bear and Ray Ray from Princess Frog, the guy that's been doing voices for Disney forever, if he died, I think I would have broken down.

But Optimus Prime died and...

My dad tells the story of four-year-old me.

It sounds like the kind of thing I should know the answer to that could have only come up in some sort of obscure trivia discussion.

I remember my VHS of the many adventures of Winnie the Pooh.

They had a little documentary.

Every boy remembers the time he learned that Winnie the Pooh is called Winnie the Pooh because...

It's a bear named Winnie and a swan named Pooh.

I'm not familiar with this swan.

Yeah.

Well, did no one have?

All right, Big Bird, Minions, Tweety Bird, Pac-Man, Pikachu.

I don't know if Winnie the Pooh is yellow.

He's kind of orangish.

You could make an argument for yellow, I guess.

Yeah,

it's true.

But I'm going to go with one I came up with that was named by me and say Rabbit from Winnie the Pooh.

Ooh, Rabbit from Winnie the Pooh.

But nowadays, World Showcase opens with the rest of the park, and it may be one of the new best spots for character interactions, specifically Disney princesses.

I started my day in Canada snapping some photos of the new La Poutinerie before making my way into the UK, where I got a visit with Pooh Bear.

The line for Pooh was nearly non-existent, and next I was off to France where I was able to catch Belle.

I love early mornings in the France Pavilion, especially if you're able to spot Belle and Aurora roaming around at the same time first thing in the morning.

After a visit with Belle, I took a break at the International Gateway and was excited to see the Evil Queen graced us with her presence.

You have Akershus where you can go have a character princess breakfast.

You know, a lot of other ones that we could talk about.

Pooh technically is one of those.

The Al Lowe 1982, uh, edutainment game.

How about Winnie The Pooh And The Hundred Acre Woods? That's another good Al Lowe game.

[laughs] Any- anyway-

...

I, I think there's probably a way to do red herrings in, in an adventure game that is like kind of fun or at least not, like it doesn't feel like bullshitty.

fitting on.

Winnie the Pooh in Disneyland is now the second most uncomfortable ride I've ever ridden.

We're just saying a lot.

The back row of Tiana's was miserable, and I don't ever want to do it again.

Um, but you're going to want to get in line for that as soon as you come in, because they do go ahead and queue that up at four o'clock and they will actually start running it.

So like they'll go through, I think the first, when we did it, we got in over there and we were like sixth in line or something the first time we did it.

um got trampled we did we about got killed trying to be six but it was my bucket list on that time um but just some others uh winnie the pooh and eeyore and tigger uh and piglet uh let's see eeyore's a clown they did him dirty he's a clown um and kind of a heffalump clown but anyhow it's not like anyhow um so you can see them over in um we used to be toontown over in the big top area um is gonna be donald

i think it was just donald and daisy that year yeah in the past it's been

I'm getting Ed Gein in this.

Except his Ed Gein accent sounded like Winnie the Pooh.

So it's not...

I don't know if anyone remembers when I suffered through that series.

I think it was like last year.

And his accent sounded like a combination of Marge Gunderson from Fargo and Winnie the Pooh.

Right.

And
