Q4: Which resort DOESN'T have a Winnie the Pooh dark ride?

The very mention of Winnie the Pooh dark rides tends to leave a bitter taste in the mouths of Disney Parks fans. It's not that the bumbling, quaint dark rides through the Hundred Acre Wood are bad; it's that the ride is nefarious for having replaced two classic attractions.

In Florida, the ride's 1999 opening was preceded by the closure of the beloved Fantasyland Lost Legend: Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. In California, the Pooh attraction was placed in Critter Country, replacing the Marc Davis musical Lost Legend: Country Bear Jamboree. What hurts the most is that Pooh was hastily added to both parks because of a late-'90s resurgence in the character's popularity – and thus, in Disney's expectations for merchandising in conjunction with rides. That time has more or less passed, and arguably both resorts would be stronger with Mr. Toad and Liver Lips McGrowl returned instead.

Despite the lackluster Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh rides in the U.S., Tokyo Disneyland's ride – Pooh's Hunny Hunt – is a mindblowing, trackless, LPS-guided dark ride that's literally one of the resort's anchor attractions. The "hunny pots" guests sit in glide through the Hundred Acre Wood, dancing around one another and diverging down different paths in a marvelous E-Ticket experience. So which resort doesn't have a Pooh dark ride?

A4: Disneyland Paris. This may be the one instance where Disneyland Paris' financial collapse was a good thing. After all, the park has essentially been in a state of suspended animation since the 1995 opening of its Space Mountain, which means Paris narrowly missed the opportunity to have Pooh set up shop. 

By the way, both Hong Kong Disneyland and Shanghai Disneyland feature the "Many Adventures" version of the ride based on Florida's original.

Q5: Which resorts DON'T have a Toy Story Land?

First debuting in 2010 at the depressingly underbuilt Declassified Disaster: Walt Disney Studios Park in Paris, Toy Story Land didn't look much like what guests expected from Disney. Stylized after the somewhat tired notion that guests are "shrunk" to the size of a toy (or actually, a bit smaller since Toy Story's toys tower overhead), these lands are always based around an assortment of simple family flat rides and the flimsy notion that oversized dominos, christmas lights, blocks, and toy-themed carnival rides have been strewn in a backyard for some reason. (By the way, we fully believe a Toy Story-themed land could be done differently. Why not build an entirely-indoor land like DisneySea's Mermaid Lagoon, set entirely under Andy's bed?)

In any case, the true purpose of Toy Story Lands became more obvious with each subsequent opening: these "cheap and cheerful" lands are designed to quickly and inexpensively add ride capacity and big character draw to Disney's smallest parks.

While each has a unique collection of family flat rides (with Orlando's being the grandest if only for having a family roller coaster and absorbing the park's preexisting Toy Story Mania into its lineup), the general look and feel of each subsequent land is about the same. In this case, two Disney resorts have gotten away with not adding Toy Story Lands... 

A5: Disneyland and Tokyo Disneyland. The agreed-upon reasons that Disney builds Toy Story Lands don't jive with Disney's properties in California or Tokyo. Disneyland already has the most rides of any Disney resort (yes, Disneyland's two parks have more rides than Disney World's four) and doesn't need the influx of carnival rides. Plus, limited space in California and Japan's landlocked parks means that acres can't be wasted on mediocre ideas.

However, Disneyland does have an equivalent thanks to the 2018 conversion of Disney California Adventure's Paradise Pier into the more confounding and Instagram-friendly Pixar Pier. Despite doubling-down on the land's elegant Victorian styling and bringing in a spectacular jewel-tone color palate, the fact remains that it doesn't make a whole lot of sense that a turn-of-the-century pier would have mis-matched "neighborhoods" themed to Disney's high-earning computer animated Pixar films. In any case, the so-called "Toy Story Boardwalk" neighborhood contains Toy Story Midway Mania, Jessie's Critter Carousel, and two "giant" food stands that borrow from Toy Story Land aesthetic to make guests feel as if they've "shrunk."

Likewise, Tokyo DisneySea has a sub-section of its New York City themed American Waterfront dedicated to Toy Story, but in true Tokyo fashion, it's a gorgeous electric trolley park resembling New York's Coney Island.
