Rumors have it that the Hundred Acre Wood characters would be cut from both Animal Kingdom AND Hollywood Studios meet and greets. It is known that Pooh will cease to meet at Magic of Animation after Saturday in preparation for Wreck-it Ralph and Vanellope to move in late October.
If the Pooh characters do leave both parks, that would leave eeyore and piglet as being available only at The Crystal Palace in the Magic Kingdom.
Expect a number of changes on October 1st.
I hope it’s up and running for my next trip!! Arriving 11/7. Please reply if anyone hears a firm date on this. Thank you.
What is going to replace Pooh in the meantime at Magic of Animation?
Pooh’s spot on MoA will be filled by Wreck-it Ralph after remodeling occurs.

When will the new set be up and ready for Wreck-it Ralph? As I will be there next week.
Ralph won’t appear until late oct/early nov

Oh no, we have Crystal Palace reservations for Oct 2nd. Do you think Pooh and Tigger will NOT be there? That’s a deal breaker for us.
Hundred Acre Wood characters will still be at CP KtP
We’ve met the Pooh characters several times in EPCOT back in England
Yes Tigger and Pooh appear in Epcot and Magic Kingdom. Other HAW characters appeared randomly at Epcot. KtP
Actually, I believe that the Pooh characters will continue to greet guests near the Sorcerer’s Hat at Hollywood Studios in the morning like they always have. Pooh is just leaving the Animation building, since it was only a temporary relocation for him to promote his newest movie last year.
Eeyore, Piglet, Tigger and Winnie the Pooh along with Mrs. Incredible were removed from Hollywood Studions on 30th
Thank goodness we’ve made reservations at Crystal Palace for the end of November to guarantee seeing these characters! Thanks for the info.
