A bear, however hard he tries, grows tubby without exercise.
- Winnie the Pooh
How fitting of an idea: after a wonderful lunch with a friend, enjoying a wonderful visit with our friends of the Hundred Acre Wood. You know (sing with me), "Pooh Bear, Winnie the Pooh Bear", and friends. Pooh, Eeyore and the bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy Tigger have the silliest little habit of hanging around to take photos during the better part of the day over in Critter Country, and that is just no something that you can easily pass up.
And wouldn't you know it, everyone's favorite "stuffed with fluff" bear has a ride to call his very own. I always keep forgetting that it's safely tucked away in Critter Country which feels so remote from the rest of the park because of the solitary access route as you pass by the Haunted Mansion. Then again, there is a very good reason why I usually avoid Critter Country at all costs and it's name is Splash Mountain! Let's just put it this way: I sucked it up and went for a splash back in March for the first time, and as far as I'm concerned it's a once in a lifetime kind of deal! There is absolutely no need to purposefully get too close to something that would literally make your hair go white in seconds.
But Winnie the Pooh is perfectly harmless in every way, and I can now add it to my list of 'have-riddens' at Disneyland.
I absolutely love that you get to enjoy the entire ride through your own personal beehive. The name of ours? Kanga, of course.
But the fun doesn't stop there. Anyone with a sweet tooth (and we all know this includes me) has got to stop by Pooh's Corner, no questions asked. I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I could just walk in and start picking what special treats I wanted to try. I behaved myself on this occasion, however, knowing full well that I would regret any rash decision to start indulging in the sweets full speed ahead. I could look, but I just couldn't touch. I'm getting teary-eyed just thinking about it. And as you'll see, Halloween at Disneyland really is just around the corner!
Coming up: A final tour through Adventureland.
