Where to Find Mr. Toad in the Magic Kingdom
Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride may have closed twenty four years ago, but that doesn’t mean the fan favorite character has completely left the Magic Kingdom.
Fans of the reckless amphibian can still find Easter eggs and tributes to J Thaddeus Toad throughout the park, you just have to know where to look!
So let’s go explore the Magic Kingdom and see where we can still see the former Toad Hall resident today!
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
When Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride closed in 1998, it was replaced by a new attraction- The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.
Although Pooh may have been responsible for Toad Hall closing up, tributes to Mr. Toad and his friends can be found inside the silly old bear’s attraction.
Next time you ride your honey pot through Owl’s house, take a close look at the pictures on the wall. You might see a familiar face…
That’s right! Inside of Owl’s house, you can see an adorable photo of Mr. Toad handing the deed over to Owl.
As you can see, there was no hard feelings between Hundred Acre Wood gang and Mr. Toad. Both characters happily stand arm and arm.
Although one Mr. Toad tribute would have been great, Owl’s house actually has two! Nearby on the ground, a second picture shows Mr. Toad’s friend Moley with Winnie the Pooh himself.
So next time you enter the Hundred Acre Woods for a trip on the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, be sure to keep an eye out for these tributes the ride’s former resident.
The Haunted Mansion
Perhaps the darkest tribute to any Disney ride can be found at the exit of the Haunted Mansion.
As guests leave the eerie manor, they come upon the Mansion’s Pet Cemetery. Here, dozens of the dearly departed family pets have been laid to rest.
Amongst such beloved animals as Eric the snake and Whiskers the cat, guests may spot a familiar looking statue.
Yes, another tribute to J. Thaddeus Toad himself appears in the Haunted Mansion’s Pet Cemetery!
The marker was placed there by Imagineers following the closure of Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride closed. A fitting final memorial for the popular character.
Mr. Toad Popcorn Bucket
Starting November 1, 2022, Disney began offering a new souvenir popcorn bucket based on Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride!
The buckets depict Mr. Toad in a replica of the closed attraction’s iconic ride vehicle. Available throughout the Magic Kingdom, the new buckets serve as a fun homage to one of the wackiest rides in Disney history.
Well everyone, that ends our tour. Be sure to take the time to visit Mr. Toad next time you are in the Magic Kingdom and say hello to an old friend.
