Trivia / The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (Disney Parks)

Go To

  • No Export for You: Disneyland Paris is the only Disney park to not receive any kind of Winnie the Pooh attraction, which is a bit ironic, given it's the closest country to the UK, which is where the stories originally took place. Disneyland Paris would instead get a character show called Winnie the Pooh and Friends, Too!, which ran from 1998 to 2011.
  • The Original Darrin:
    • Tigger is reprised by Paul Winchell in the original Magic Kingdom version.
    • After being replaced by Steve Schatzberg for the Magic Kingdom version, John Fiedler reprises his role as Piglet for the Disneyland version.
  • The Other Darrin: Jim Cummings does Tigger in place of Paul Winchell for the Disneyland version. Oddly, Cummings does the line "Bouncing makes you feel incredibible!" in the Hong Kong Disneyland version and his dialogue for the start of the Heffalumps and Woozles scene, although Tigger's warning is from the Disneyland version where most of Tigger's lines are lifted from the Magic Kingdom version.
  • Swan Song: The Magic Kingdom version was Paul Winchell's final performance as Tigger.
  • What Could Have Been:
    • A Winnie the Pooh ride has been planned for the parks as far back as the 1970s, with one proposal being initially planned for Disneyland's New Fantasyland expansion. This fell through and Disneyland would not see Pooh til 2004.
    • Disneyland's version was originally planned to be a boat ride in the same vein as "it's a small world" (as seen in the ride's concept art here). This plan was ultimately scrapped in favor of an abridged clone of Magic Kingdom's version due to budgetary reasons.
