WDW: Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow: #12 Meet Winnie the Pooh in Christopher Robin's Room

Earlier this fall, the Winnie the Pooh Meet and Greet location returned to the United Kingdom pavilion in EPCOT's World Showcase following the closure of the Character Spot in Future World. With EPCOT being reimagined, multiple new character meet and greets were opened throughout World Showcase.

Christopher Robin's room is the new location to meet everyone's favorite willy-nilly, silly old bear. This room is in the back right corner of the United Kingdom pavilion, in the same building as the Toy Soldier shop. Outside of the entrance to Christopher Robin's room is a mailbox that is marked with: "Est. 1926." This mailbox was not placed there on accident by the Disney Imagineers. It references the year the first Winnie the Pooh stories were written and published.

Rumor had it that over the last couple years, depending on the day and circumstances, guests could see Christopher Robin's room if they simply asked a cast member at the right time. This request was not always granted but it something every Disney fan tried to do when they were at EPCOT. Last summer, when talking to a lifeguard at Port Orleans French Quarter, they said that they asked on two separate occasions to see Christopher Robin's room and we unable too.

This is the perfect location to meet Pooh. He looks at home back in Christopher Robin's room and we hope that he never leaves here. And if you use your imagination hard enough, you can see all of Pooh's friends playing in the Hundred Acre Woods right outside the window.

"This could be the room of any small boy, but it just happens to belong to a boy named Christopher Robin. Like most small boys, Christopher Robin has toy animals to play with and they all live together in a wonderful world of make-believe. But his best friend is a bear called Winnie the Pooh or Pooh for short. Now Pooh had some very unusual adventures and they all happened right here in the Hundred-Acre Wood." - The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
