Hello there, Mary! Welcome to planDisney. We love helping Guests with all of their planning questions.
I can't think of a better reason to visit Disneyland Resort than for a birthday celebration, and both you and Disneyland are celebrating a big birthday this year! I think a character dining experience is a wonderful way to celebrate. If you are hoping to see Winnie the Pooh, your best chance would be to make a
Plaza Inn reservation for breakfast. Pooh can usually be found there during Minnie & Friends - Breakfast in the Park. I took a look at the dining availability, and at the time of writing this, there are
reservations available for the date you are looking for. If you are unable to find any reservations, you can always try heading to Plaza Inn first thing at park opening to see if they have any walk-up availability. It's not a guarantee, but it is always a good idea to inquire.
If these reservations don't work out, there is another chance to find Winnie the Pooh in the park. Over in Bayou Country, near
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, there is an area where Pooh has been seen greeting Guests. I recommend checking the times in the
Disneyland app by tapping on the map and then selecting "Characters" on the top menu options.
Mary, we wish you a very happy birthday! I hope your visit is full of magical celebrations!
