Toad.

Both are on my "must do" list when I visit the park for different reasons. But in Disneyland, I have to give it to Mr. Toad. In WDW, I'd probably vote for Pooh. If we had that version here, my vote might have been different.

What DavidDL said exactl.

 

[LittleMerman]

Toad! It was my favorite at WDW as a kid so I love it at DL. Pooh is adorable and I love that you load outside at DL but Toad is so cute and more "thrilling" lol.

I’m sorry but I really enjoy Pooh for the pleasant experience that it is. Extremely short wait in a Uber charming outdoor queue surrounded by large trees and then a good enough cute little ride. The ride makes me happy for whatever reason. I don’t have any particular affinity for the Pooh franchise but I did really enjoy the show that ran on the Disney channel for many years. I think I loved the setting more than the characters.

Of course if an asteroid was headed toward DL and I had the power to save one I’d save Toad but I’d be lying if I said Pooh didn’t make me happier and wasn’t the better experience from A-Z. The outdoor area is so charming I always look around, take it in and cross my fingers they never ruin the feeling in that area by adding some Star Wars ride to GE or anything else they can cook up.

I think Pooh's biggest crime is that it killed a Marc Davis attraction.

Wholeheartedly agree with the positive sentiments about Pooh's queue area.

How wonderful would it be if Disney could plus-up the ride itself, which was clearly built on a prohibitive budget. It's a charming little ride as is, but bolstering the minimal sets with some dimensionality and detail would go a long way, IMO.

 

[Californian Elitist]

In terms of aesthetics, Pooh probably does have the best queue area in the park. The ride itself should be much better, though.

 

[DrAlice]

Toad. Toad toad toad. No contest.

 

[Practical Pig]

Toad for me too. I agree with the pro-Pooh sentiments expressed about the terrific queue environment. It can feel pretty serene back there even when the park is packed. And the ride is pleasant (with short if any wait times) though uninspired. But Toad has the incredible concentrated craziness that seems to only come in the package of an old-school tiny Fantasyland dark ride like they can't build anymore.

 

[PiratesMansion]

No question, Toad.

Both US Pooh rides are inferior to what they replaced.

The only Pooh ride worth anything is in Tokyo.

Mr. Toad. I wish their was dark rides like Mr. Toad on a grander scale. But modern imagineering is not capable.

Pooh is very calming attraction but uninspiring for sure.

I wish their was dark rides like Mr. Toad on a grander scale.

I feel like Roger Rabbit kind of accomplishes this (it maintains the frenetic nature but is more dimensional). It's probably the best Imagineering can do, given ADA requirements. We'll never get a dark ride as intimate as Toad again.

 

[DavidDL]

The queue area for Pooh is a joy during the Holidays, too as they change the music. Disappointingly though, on our last December trip, the music hadn't been changed yet or they've decided not to do it anymore. I really hope it's the former because there was something special about getting there in the morning when the area is extra quiet and you can grab a treat at the exit!

I love Toad's area too, but the only time of day it feels extra magical to me is at night after the fireworks and most of the kiddos have gone to sleep or the land has been generally vacated (the land being lit up is wonderful, too!). During the day, the center of Fantasyland can feel loud, hot and congested as those attraction's target audiences keep the area filled.

I was secretly hoping the Secret Life of Pets ride at Universal Hollywood would open the doors in making small-scaled dark rides popular again. I loved the ride myself and made me wish Disneyworld would instead add multiple smaller attractions in Fantasyland instead of trying to make every ride the next big e-ticket. Disneyland has so many dark rides in their Fantasyland, would be great for MK to add a few.

 

[Dear Prudence]

I love them both and will not vote.
