A silly ole bear named Pooh and pink pal Piglet take
Walt Disney World guests on a whimsical journey into the storybook
pages of the Hundred Acre Wood.
Good times with the Hundred Acre Wood gang begin
as guests hop aboard golden "hunny pots" and travel through a Blustery
Day. Howling winds stir up a whirlwind of adventure as Owl's house
topples, Piglet is swept into the groaning gusts and baby Roo gleefully
swings from his scarf, tethered like a kite in the wind. Despite
the wayward weather, Pooh is "bearly" bothered and continues his
ongoing quest for honey.
Night has now fallen upon the Hundred Acre Wood and
hoo, hoo, hoo else but Tigger springs into the adventure with a
bouncy, trouncy, flouncy game of hide and seek. Hunny pots bounce
along the darkened path chasing a topsy-turvy Tigger to the fun-loving
tune, "The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers."
The bouncefest leads to Pooh's house where he stands
guard over his prized honey into the wee hours of the night. The
wary bear drifts off to sleep only to dream of the dreaded honey-stealing
Heffalumps and Woozles, forewarned by Tigger. Wacky, glowing creatures
surround the hunny pots as they drift through a silly dreamscape
full of song and surprise.
As the story unfolds, squalls swell into a storm with
the worrisome gang enveloped in the elements. Hunny pots bob swiftly
along the rising waters and swirling whirlpools as the Hundred Acre
Wood transforms to a Floody Place. Eeyore, Roo, Kanga, Rabbit, Owl
and Tigger band together forming a rescue chain to save Piglet from
falling over Floody Place Falls. Meanwhile, Pooh has taken advantage
of the rising waters to reach the top of the honey tree.
A happily-ever-after storybook ending features a hero's
party, a colorful rainbow and all the gang safe in the Hundred Acre
Wood ready for another escapade with the young boy who inspired
the "Pooh Corner" tales, Christopher Robin.

Reviews
"I visited magic kingdom in sept 2000 with my
husband, my parents and most importantly my 2 year old daughter.
This ride is a perfect introduction to the theme park for children
this age as she absolutly loved it. The only reservation she had
was during the storm when she got a little bit worried but that
soon passed. tips: Take little ones on this ride early when it is
quiet as it is a good ride for them to get into the swing of things."
