List of Every Location To Meet Winnie the Pooh at Walt Disney World

Silly old bear is the first phrase that comes to mind when I think of Winnie the Pooh. This classic character holds a special place in many of our hearts. So don’t be surprised if you find long lines to meet him when you visit Walt Disney World! It will soon become evident how many lives that silly old bear has touched. He’s one of the best.

Below, we’ll discuss every meet-and-greet location for Winnie the Pooh at Walt Disney World. We’ll also discuss where to find him in the parks and where he meets with other characters for character dining and seasonal parties. Winnie the Pooh meets daily in multiple locations throughout the parks. So you’ll have several opportunities to find him!

Winnie the Pooh at Epcot

Winnie the Pooh meets in Christopher Robin’s room in the United Kingdom Pavilion at Epcot. His meet-and-greet is at the back of the pavilion. His line begins underneath an awning on the last row of townhouses.

Here is a look at the line formed to meet him on our last visit. Winnie the Pooh meets intermittently throughout the day. His times are listed in the character section of the My Disney Experience App.

One group of guests at a time is allowed inside Christopher Robin’s room. There, Winnie the Pooh is waiting to meet you!

On the day of this visit, I was in the area at 1:15 p.m. So, I checked the app and saw that the next listed meet-and-greet was at 1:40 p.m. Since no one was waiting, I sat on a bench in the shade nearby. By 1:25 p.m., other guests began to form a line. For reference, nothing indicates where the line begins or signs marking the location of the meet-and-greet. Nearly everyone was asking if they were in the right place.

Winnie the Pooh was also about five minutes late, which isn’t necessarily a big deal. But when you’ve been standing in line for 20 minutes, everyone starts to wonder if they are in the right place or wasting their time for a no-show. Thankfully, he showed up a few minutes later. We waited 23 minutes to meet Winnie the Pooh at Epcot.

Unfortunately, a PhotoPass photographer was not available on the day of our visit. But Winnie the Pooh does sign autographs at this location. It’s an adorable room filled with vintage toys, and the backdrop makes for lovely photos. After the meeting ends, you’ll exit the Toy Soldier gift shop, which is where the Epcot Kidcot activity for children is located.

Winnie the Pooh at Magic Kingdom

Winnie the Pooh meets with Tigger daily at the Magic Kingdom. They meet in a dedicated location next to The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. This location is called The Thotful Spot and often has long lines. Expect to wait a minimum of 30 minutes on most days. However, there have been times when we’ve waited up to an hour for this meet-and-greet.

Both Winnie the Pooh and Tigger sign autographs at this location. A PhotoPass photographer is usually present at this location.

Winnie the Pooh Characters at Disney World

There are a few other places at Walt Disney World where you can meet Winnie the Pooh characters. However, these opportunities require extra expense. Winnie the Pooh is one of the characters at The Crystal Palace. We have a separate review of breakfast at The Crystal Palace Breakfast if you want the specifics of the meal. Other Winnie the Pooh Characters at this meal include Tigger, Eeyore, and Piglet.

Winnie the Pooh characters also meet at extra-ticket holiday parties at Magic Kingdom. For Halloween, the Hundred Acre friends wear their Halloween costumes. During the Christmas party, they all have festive scarves. For more information, we have a guide to meeting characters at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and characters at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.
