Pooh's Playful Spot tree uprooted and on the move to The Many Adventures of Winnie

I liked the tree where it was at It made a great place to hide with the family when it was pouring down rain:king:

Thanks for the update.

I was really hoping that they wouldn't trash the tree. Glad to hear that it's sticking around.

ok, thanks.

Anyones knows when the tree is supposed to be installed at it's new location?

Specific timelines for construction jobs (especially minor segments of a much larger project) like this are never published, they're just there one day, and gone/moved the next.
But as there's a crane on-site, I'd say chances are good that it'll be moving in the next few days. They're expensive to rent and then just sit around idle for days on end...

Fantastic news! :sohappy:


I'm really excited about the new queue. It has some potential to really be great.

Is it bad to say I'm most looking forward to the refurb for the Pooh queue right now? :shrug:

Not at all, I am too. If only because it will give us a real taste of the things to come.

I can confirm the tree has been moved an is placed next to the Pooh attraction. No photo sorry guys. Construction walls are up around it and no ladders present.

Very cool. Saw it in the location in the photos posted by Steve yesterday. Looked like it was closer to the ride than its Thoughtful Spot position. Glad to hear they're saving it. We thought it was going to be dozed.

I hope the new queue wraps around the tree.

What's very cool is that if you go back to the FL model that was supposedly leaked a number of months back, you can see a large tree in front of Pooh. Lends a lot of credibility to that photo now.

I'm glad they relocated the tree but the location and look doesnt thrill me, maybe its the tent look of the building that is ruining it for me? :shrug:

Will they need to water and fertilize the tree after the move?

:animwink:

Eh, it's Florida. Those afternoon rain showers will take care of that.....

The queue and facade are getting overhauled as part of the Fantasyland expansion. This is a preliminary step. It will make more sense when it's all done.

It is probably the old facade thats not working for you yet... that tent is most likely going to change to be more "woodsey" in the coming months :shrug:

It doesn't look too bad though right now...
