Interacting With the 50th Anniversary Statues Has Changed in Disney World

What are you most looking forward to this holiday season?

Main Street U.S.A. Christmas Decorations

If you’re visiting Disney World this season, there are tons of snacks to try, lots of decorations to see, and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party (if you’ve got your ticket!). But there’s another secret holiday offering you can experience if you’ve got MagicBand+ — some of the 50th Anniversary statues have special holiday greetings!

We stopped by the Winnie the Pooh and Piglet statue in Magic Kingdom near Crystal Palace to hear their holiday message.

How sweet! Pooh says “Christmas time is the very best kind of time” when you wave at him. When we waved again we got another quote — “Happy holidays, I had a little gift for you but I think I ate it.” We forgive you, Pooh!

Daisy and Donald are also in on the holiday action! Daisy says, “Jingle, jingle, jingle” and Donald says, “Happy holidays everybody!”

“Happy holidays everybody” is what Chip & Dale say when you wave at them!

Although some of the statues outside of the main hub area have their regular sounds, Stitch is also wishing everyone a good holiday season. He says, “Ohana. That’s perfect for the holidays!”
