Winnie the Pooh Changes Meet-and-Greet Routine at Crystal Palace in Magic Kingdom
If you’re planning a character breakfast, lunch, or dinner at The Crystal Palace in Magic Kingdom, you may notice one familiar face greeting guests a little differently. Winnie the Pooh is no longer making his usual rounds through the dining rooms during the character meal, though guests can still meet everyone’s favorite honey-loving bear.

Instead of visiting each table alongside his Hundred Acre Wood friends, Pooh is currently greeting guests from a designated spot near the front of the restaurant. Diners can line up during their meal to snap a photo and spend a few moments with Pooh, who is meeting guests in the atrium beside the topiary inspired by his own likeness.
The rest of the character lineup continues to visit tables throughout the restaurant as usual, making Pooh the only member of the group with a modified meet-and-greet experience. Disney has not announced why the change was made, and it’s currently unknown whether this is a temporary adjustment or if Pooh will eventually return to visiting guests at their tables.
The Crystal Palace remains one of Magic Kingdom’s most popular character dining experiences, offering guests the chance to dine with Winnie the Pooh and friends in a beautiful Victorian-inspired setting just off Main Street, U.S.A. If meeting Pooh is a priority during your meal, be sure to make your way to his greeting location before finishing your dining experience.
