The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (Walt Disney World vs Disneyland)

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (Disneyland vs Walt Disney World) Side by Side

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (Disneyland vs Walt Disney World)
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.
you can ride the many adventures of Winnie the pooh in both Walt Disney World and Disneyland, the attraction replaced Mr. Toad in Florida and Country Bears in California.  But you can still ride Mr. Toad in California and watch country bears in Florida.  Go it?  Good!
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.
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (Disneyland vs Walt Disney World) Side by Side
Three years later in 2003, The Many Adventure of Winnie the Pooh would move into Disneyland’s new Critter Country, the renamed Bear Country.  Like it’s Walt Disney World cousin, you can find a reference to the Country Bears in the Disneyland version of The Many Adventure of Winnie the Pooh.  Directly behind you toward the end of the attraction, you can spot Max, Buff and Melvin on the wall, waiting for the next performance of Country Bears.
So while you can ride the many adventures of Winnie the pooh in both Walt Disney World and Disneyland, the attraction replaced Mr. Toad in Florida and Country Bears in California.  But you can still ride Mr. Toad in California and watch country bears in Florida.  Go it?  Good!
In this episode of SamsDisneyDiary we take a side-by-side ride on the Walt Disney World and Disneyland version of The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh!  Which is better?  Let me know in the comments – and Thanks for Watching.

Walt Disney World – The Hall of Presidents (a brief history)

A brief history of Walt Disney’s Hall of Presidents

A brief history of Walt Disney’s Hall of Presidents
“One Nation Under God”.  That was the original idea for what would become Walt Disney World’s Hall of Presidents.  The original concept would have been an addition to Disneyland’s Main Street USA.  Library Street would have featured Edison Square and The Hall of Presidents, as seen on 1958 Disneyland park maps.   The original concept was wax figures of all the US Presidents, which lead to the idea of animating the models.  Those thoughts and beliefs lead to the first Audio-Animatronic figure in human form: Abraham Lincoln.That figure was the most advanced ever produced and featured in the Illinois Pavilion at the 1964 world’s fair.  The attraction relocated to Disneyland as Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln, and guests can still experience an updated version of that original.
With Walt Disney World’s construction in 1971, technology had advanced enough to complete Walt’s Original vision of the “Hall of Presidents.”  The plans from Disneylands Liberty Street and Edison Square were revised and reworked to become The Magic Kingdoms Liberty Square.  The original Hall of presidents featured all US Presidents through Richard Nixon, the sitting President when Walt Disney World Opened in 1971.

A brief history of Walt Disney’s Hall of Presidents
The show remained unchanged, focused on the early history of the United States for 22 years.  In 1993 the show was completely updated and focused on more current issues.  In addition, Bill Clinton, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, and George Bush were addicted to the Presidential lineup, bringing us up to date.  Since then, the Hall of Presidents has been updated for each new administration.  In 2001 George W Bush was added, and in 2009 Barack Obama lent his voice to the attraction recording a short speech and reciting the Oath of office of the Presiden to the United States.  The 2009 version also included an extensive update to the lighting and projection systems, the original Abraham Lincoln speech was restored, and George Washington became the third speaking President.  In 2017 Donald Trump was added, reciting the Oath of Office and a short speech.
This edition of SamsDisneyDiary features the 2017-2021 version of the attraction.  Presented for Historical reference, if history serves correctly, the Hall of presidents should see a scheduled refurbishment sometime in late January 2021 and reopen in time for the 4th of July 2021 with a new President.  But, the Covid-19 Pandemic has us living in uncertain times; either way, look for The Hall of Presidents to be on the refurbishment list at Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom soon.  The refurb is a standard procedure and nothing out of the ordinary, though I’m sure we will see some attention-grabbing headlines “Hall of Presidents Closes.”  Be sure to subscribe to SamsDisneyDiary and we will have the latest updates as soon as possible.
