Here we come to soar in the sky with Dumbo, go under the sea with Captain Nemo, and on a wild spin with The Mad Hatter. We come here not only to play, but to believe. To believe a young boy can take on the world. To believe dalmatians can escape a crazed woman. To believe that a book can come to life. On behalf of all of us at Disney, welcome to Fantasyland.

A medieval tent catches the attention of guests as the marque shows the name of the attraction along with some bees dotting the tent itself. Guests will enter a standard switchback queue in which the barriers will be made to look as if they were carved out of a tree. Every once in a while on the walls will be a page of from the book Winnie the Pooh by A.A Milne. Overall it will be your typical Fantasyland queue of that era.

As guests get ready to embark on their journey through the Hundred Acre Woods they will see the multitude of hot air balloons they may sit in. Each hot air balloons' color scheme is inspired by a character from the Winnie the Pooh shorts. While the basket is one of Pooh's hunny pots allowing for two guests to sit comfortably. Above the hunny pots where the burner for the hot air balloon would be is a speaker which is synced up to the happenings of the ride similar to the nearby Haunted Mansion. This allows for the guest experience to be more immersive.

Behind the loading area is a map of the 100 Acre Woods with everyone's favorite inhabitants of the woods. After the lap bar goes down the hot air balloons float into the first part of the ride.
Scene 1 : Christopher Robin's Room
The hot air balloons glide into Christopher Robin's room. It is a shot by shot recreation of the room seen in the opening of the classic short "Winnie the Pooh and The Honey Tree". As the balloons go through a room a large oversized book is propped open. The balloons float into an opening in the book itself, and the next scene.
This is the opening from the 1977 The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, but it is the same opening used in the 1966 and 1968 short. The only difference being the credits themselves.
Narrator: Chapter One, in which we are introduced to Winnie the Pooh and his friends.
Scene 2 : 100 Acre Wood
The balloons float by the treetops, and down below the residents of the 100 Acre Wood are already busy. Eeyore is sitting down in his gloomy place. As the balloon approaches is house made from sticks is knocked down. He lets out a sigh.
Eeyore: Could be worse; not sure how.
As the balloon continue to float on by they enter a sandy place in which Roo plays. Tigger is on his tail atop of a rock as Roo is getting ready to go bouncing with Tigger. Kanga looks on from her house.
Kanga: Oh, be careful Roo!
Roo: Don't worry, Mama!
The balloons flyover Rabbit's garden. A scarecrow stands tall, along with with a wheelbarrow full of pumpkins. Signs are picketed into the ground stating that 'Absolutely no gophers or tiggers!'. Rabbit is off in his farm picking carrots, and Piglet carries them. Which is rather hard to see for you see Piglet is far smaller than the actual carrots. The balloons reenter the woods as they float by Owl's treehouse with Owl on his porch reciting his memoir to his guests.
Owl: Now when I just a wee little owlet, I was quite the livewire in my nest.
Owl's voice slowly drifts away as the balloons continue to float in the woods as they pass by a certain Mr.Sanders house. In front of a door is Pooh, thinking really hard. For you see he has come onto an issue: he had no honey, but there is a rumbly in his tummy.
Winnie the Pooh: Oh think, think, think...how can I get honey from the bees....
The balloons float away from Pooh, and his very deep thinking.
Scene 3 : The Quest for a Balloon
Narrator: Chapter Two, In Which Pooh Gets a Clue
The balloons float to Christopher Robin's tree home, and below them guests can see a bike as well as some toys strewn about his yard. Among other things is Christopher Robbin handing a much muddier Winnie the Pooh a balloon.
Christopher Robin: Pooh bear, why are you dirty?
Winnie the Pooh: You see Christopher Robin, if the bees think I'm a raincloud then I can get some honey to eat.
The hot air balloon floats away from the two as a slight breeze is heard through the balloon.
Scene 4 : Little Black Rain Cloud
Narrator: Chapter Three, In Which the Winds Swapped Places
The hot air balloons float among the treetops of the 100 Acre Woods as a slight humming can be heard. As the balloons continue to drift along the winds they see the culprit of the humming is none other than Winnie the Pooh.
Winnie the Pooh: I'm just a little black rain cloud. Hovering under the honey tree.
As Winnie the Pooh floats closer to the beehive he reaches out to grab a smackerel of honey. However a gust of wind passes through causing Pooh to float away from the beehive, and now he is reaching towards the tree.
Winnie the Pooh: Oh bother, it must be a windsday.
Scene 5 : Happy Windsday!
From the ground down below rises a surprise, little Roo rises in the air up and down as he gleefully shouts down to his mother whom he is holding on to through a scarf. Kanga on the ground looks on very concerned about her son.
Roo: Look mama! I'm a kite! Weeee!
Kanga: Don't worry Roo, I'll get you down!
As the balloons float along with the gushes of wind pushing along guests they past by oversized swirling leafs. Hanging onto one of these leave is Piglet.
Piglet: Happy Windsd-d-d-day!
As the balloons float out of the Windsday a flash of light goes by and booming thunder is heard overheard. The light pitter patters of rain drops echoes throughout the hot air balloon.
Scene 6 : The Rain, Rain, Rain Came Down, Down, Down
Narrator: Chapter Four, In Which The Rain, Rain, Rain Came Down, Down, Down
The ground of the 100 Acre Wood seems to have been completely covered by water as little ripples of raindrops landing in the waters appear throughout the woods. Down below in an umbrella boat is Rabbit is addling to land, and Eeyore on the other side gloomingly looking up to the rain clouds.
Eeyore: Well at least there wasn't any snow...
The balloons float by Christopher Robin's home miraculously unflooded as the inhabitants all gather there. Well everyone except Tigger, Pooh, and Piglet. Across the ways is Tigger's tail wrapped around a tree branch as Tigger attempts to balance himself on Pooh whose head is inside a honeypot, simply floating along for the ride. Piglet is on a chair which is teetering over the edge of a waterfall.
Tigger: Don't worry Piglet! I got you!
The balloons circle around our heroes, and see just how steep the waterfall is compared to where they float. Birds suddenly begin to chirp as the balloons float right back into a bright and sunny day.
Scene 7 : The Celebration
Narrator: Chapter Five, In Which Our Heroes Celebrate
Back in Christopher Robin's home and yard the flood waters are gone, and in its place party decorations celebrating Tigger who saved Piglet. A large table spread has been put up allowing for a place for everyone to sit, and celebrate. Well everyone, but Pooh who has seemed to have gone missing.
All: Hip Hip Hooray! For Tigger and Pooh!
Piglet: But where is Pooh?
The hot air balloons fly into an old tree with an opening large enough for a bear to fit in.
Scene 8 : The Honey Tree
The final scene depicts Pooh sitting in a pool of honey as he happily eats it by the handful. The walls seem to blur between being honeycomb, and paper mache with writing on it. The balloons float through the book they entered in through, and end up in the loading area as they depart from the 100 Acre Woods.

As guests get ready to venture out into the wilds of Russia they will see carved wooden carts go past them. Each wooden car will be carved based on a theme of either the Land, Air, or Sea in which different buildings, animals, and plants are carved into the vehicle.

Scene 4 : The Scary Forest
Th bright and cheery forest quickly becomes dark and foggy forest. Dead trees surround the area. The vehicles progress, but suddenly from the left of guests a wolf lunges out towards guests. The vehicles quickly spin out of control as it races through the forest. The trees have seemed to take on personalities on their own as they develop mean spirited faces, and their branches seem to reach out towards guests. As guests traverse the forest a running behind them is heard along with a heavy breathing broken by the occasional growl.
Scene 5 : Sonia's Sacrifice
It seems as if all is come as if the wolf has been lost from guests, but as they approach an old mill something statingly appears. Sonia the Duck is running from the Wolf as she tries to fly away. The wolf seems to have already caught her ocne as she is missing some of her tail feathers, and they happen to be in his mouth. Guests pass a corner as the hear a loud clomp. In front of the old mill Sonia now appears with angel wings and a halo as she waves goodbye to the guests. (Pepper's Ghost)
Scene 6 : Sasha the Brave
The vehicles are ushered further into the scary forest. Sasha is now seen attacking the wolf's nose as the wolf attempts to eat her. The vehicles turn, and guests will see Sasha has passed out now lying on the Wolf's tongue as he slowly closes his maw. The guests see Ivan hiding behind a log pointing to go deeper into the woods.
Scene 7 : The Grand Hunt
The hunters pop up from behind bushes screaming louding warning guests to go home. The vehicles turn, and go down a path in the scary forest, but of no where the wolf pops up once more. The hunters begin to scream as gunshots echo throughout the forest, but seemingly miss everything. The vehicles rush through the forest, and anter a clearing in the forest.
Scene 8 : The End
As the vehicles continue down the path the wolf once again pops up howling. The vehicles pick up speed, and pass by the hunters all seemingly to take aim at the guests. The vehicles pass a corner, ad guests will see they are aiming at the wolf who has lunged into the air. Guests will get up close to him, his eyes bloodshot by his for death, his fangs gleaming from the little light, and a blood curdling growl let out as he is about to eat the guests. A loud bang sounds off as strobe lights go off. The doors open, and guests are lead out of their vehicles. The question to be asked to one's self is"Who died?"
