    It started when we were at my mom's house and I turned it on for the kids and she immediately asked: "Who is that little girl and where is Christoper Robin?"

    After a good 20 minutes (yes, really), we came to the conclustion that Darby is Christopher Robin's daugher and has passed all of his Hundred Acre Wood friends & thier stories on to her now that he's grown.

    So what do you think?

    At Fantasyland in the MK Darby appears with Pooh and Tigger in the meet and area across from the Pooh ride. I heard that she is quite popular and there are long lines to meet her.

    My husband was actually named Christopher after Christopher Robin so I have a bit of a soft spot for him. :)

    No, that was just misleading advertising.

    Mum is constantly trying to convince me he's a girl!

    "No no, Piglet's a GIRL, you fool."
    "He's not! He's a boy. He has a BOY'S VOICE. He's referred to as a boy."
    "Then why is he pink?"
    "Because he's a pig?"
    "No. Pink is for GIRLS. Piglet's a girl."
