===Queue===
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh's queue, is themed to be Chapter One of the story that guests are about to enter. Pages from a Winnie the Pooh book are used to give guests the attraction's backstory as they walk through the line. The queue begins with Winnie wondering what he will do today. A map of the Hundred Acre Woods is present, showing the various places that Pooh (and guests) can go. The Hundred Acre Woods begin with guests passing Pooh's house which is inside a large tree. Hanging off of the tree are two signs. The first reads "Mr. Sanders" and can can be found above the front door. The second sign is the attraction's entrance sign, which marks the beginning of the attraction. As part of the attraction's new interactive queue, guests can go into Pooh's house and see how the bear lives.
===Main Attraction===
As chapter two Chapter Two begins, guests enter the Hundred Acre Woods on blustery day. As the wind howls around them, Piglet and Gopher can be seen on the left, being blown around in a garden. Next to them, Pooh is holding on to a balloon and using the wind to try and get into a beehive. Back on the ground, Eeyore looks on, commenting that Pooh will never get the honey and across the room, Rabbit can be seen lying in his garden underneath a pile on unearthed carrots. Next to him is Kanga, who is desperately trying to hang on to Roo who is up in the air and holding onto the other end of a scarf. As Kanga pleads with him to hold on, Roo says, "Look mama, I'm a kite!". Riders then go through a door and into Owl's House.[[Image:Honey.jpg|thumb|350px400px|Pooh happily eating his honey at the end of the attraction.| alt= Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh Magic Kingdom]]
Inside Owl's House, everything has been disorganized by the storm. On the right, guests can see a picture of J. Thaddeus Toad (Mr. Toad) handing over a deed to Owl. Another picture on the floor shows Moley (Mr. Toad's sidekick) and Winnie the Pooh together. Both of these pictures are subtle references to the fact that Mr. Toad's Wild Ride once was located in the current location of the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. After passing through Owl's House, guests enter the next scene through a sliding door.
In the next scene of the attraction, Tigger pops up across from the ride vehicles. He then invites guests to "Come bounce with me!" as the honeypot vehicles begin to bounce. As riders bounce around the room, Tigger pops up everywhere. In the background, the song "The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers" can be heard. As the honeypots stop bouncing, guests enter Pooh's House. Here they see Tigger perched on top of Pooh (who is wearing his pajamas). Tigger warns the bear to "watch out for Heffalumps and Woozles". He also tells Pooh that Heffalumps and Woozles will steal his honey, so Pooh decides to stand guard (holding a gun). Despite his best efforts however, Pooh falls asleep and magically floats into the next room.
As guests follow the bear into the next room, they enter a bizarre scene. All around the honeypots, Heffalumps and Woozles manically sing. Strange creatures such as Woozles with jack-in-the-box necks surrounded guests. One Woozle even seems to light the end of a Heffalump on fire, causing a smoke ring to come out of the Heffalump's trunk and hitting , which hits guests. After passing through a large hole in a Heffalump, guests can see room’s exit. Before exiting however, the honeypots travel under "watering can" shaped Heffalumps, which transition them to the next scene.
The next scene takes place back in the Hundred Acre Woods, where a large storm is brewing. Here, Eeyore, Roo, Rabbit, Owl, and Tigger all team up to save Piglet from being washed down Floody Place Falls. On the other side of the forest, Pooh can be seen (apparently stuck), trying to get into a beehive. After the storm has ended, all of the characters (except for Pooh) can be seen celebrating at Rabbit's House. A little further down the track, Pooh can be found happily eating honey inside the tree. After passing a beaming Pooh, a storybook page reads "The End", and guests can disembark from their honeypot. After unloading, guests exit into the [[Hundred Acre Goods]] store.

* A small carving of a submarine can be found on a rafter in Pooh's House.
