Magic Kingdom Removes Popular Pooh and Tigger Meet and Greet
One of our favorite meet and greets is now missing at Magic Kingdom, along with a fun entertainment option. Find out the full details and the possible reason for this cancellation.
Disney Park Entertainment
One thing that sets Disney Parks apart from other theme parks is the great entertainment options delighting guests throughout the day.
From multiple stage shows, awe-inspiring fireworks, cavalcades, and of course, the Festival of Fantasy Parade. Guests have so much to enjoy apart from the thrilling attractions.
Disney reserves the right to make changes to operational hours as needed.
Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Missing
Without any warning, the Winnie the Pooh and Tigger meet and greet is now missing at the Magic Kingdom. Guests could once meet both Pooh and Tigger at "The Thotful Spot" located adjacent to "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" attraction.
The Winnie the Pooh and Tigger meet and greet is still listed on the Walt Disney World website, but no longer lists performance times. This meet and greet is no longer listed on the My Disney Experience app.
Guests can still meet Winnie the Pooh at EPCOT in the United Kingdom pavilion. We heard a rumor that the reason for this change in the Magic Kingdom may be due to budget cuts, but it is unclear how long this meet and greet may be missing.
Nola and the Eighth Notes Removed
Along with this change, "Nola and the Eighth Notes" is now missing. This lively ensemble brought the sounds of New Orleans to Frontierland. Beginning last summer, guests could enjoy the main singer, Nola, and her band, including a tuba, trombone, and a snare drum.
Winnie the Pooh and Tigger are no longer meeting at Magic Kingdom.
Now this group no longer performs, also rumored to be for budget reasons. Frontierland is a bit of a mess right now, with the ongoing construction of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and the Piston Peak construction. It is sad to see this fun, lively band now missing.

Removing Tigger and. Pooh due to budget costs is pure BS

I absolutely agree with you, Doris. This is such a popular meet and greet.
Thanks for agreeing with me this is going too far and when will the mad destruction of WALT DISNEY’S IMAGINATION AND DREAM be totally destroyed the Magic is almost gone anyway!
I have gone to MK since the week it opened and as the other parks were added it was so special and magical and enjoyed by all but it has been steadily disappearing and changing that it worries me things must change before it is too late
