Disney Imagineers pack the Disney theme parks with loads of Hidden Mickeys, inside jokes, and references to the company's rich history. Here's one of my favorites - In Fantasyland in Orlando's Magic Kingdom you'll find Pooh's Playful Spot, a cute little play area for the little ones that recreates the Hundred Acre Woods - home of Winnie the Pooh and friends. This newer attraction was built on the footprints of a classic Disney attraction
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. That ride took guests on a voyage through liquid space inside a submarine. To pay homage to the original ride that occupied the space when the Magic Kingdom opened, the designers worked a little submarine magic into the woodwork of Winnie The Pooh's house...
...this image can be found blended into the doorframe of Pooh's home. There's a similar homage across the way at
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh ride. The Pooh ride-thru attraction is housed in the building that used to feature
Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.
In the second scene of the Pooh ride, you can spot a picture on the wall of Pooh's friend Owl being handed the deed to the property from Mr. Toad himself! Pretty dorky, eh!?
