I wonder where they will put them. Won't something have to go to make room? Seems like a good idea to have Mickey and Minnie live right in front of the park tho!

In WDW's toon town is there only Mickey and Minnie's house? I can only picture Disneyland's and its big! Roger Rabbit's Cartoon Spin, Goofy's House and garden, Donald's house, Chip n' Dale's House, Minnie's House, Mickey's House, and then all the city buildings (City Hall, bank, post office, gas statio, jail etc etc etc). Is Disney Worlds not like that?

DW's Toon Town has Mickey and Minnie's houses including Mickey's garden and garage, Donald's Boat (a water play area for the kids), Goofy's Barnstormer, the big tent where they have character greetings and a store, a train station, a small child's playground (not near as impressive as Pooh's playground, imo), and various little sales carts. I think that is about it...all that comes to mind.

I'm a little sad about seeing it go since my youngest loves going through there while the other kids ride things with Daddy. It's also where the kids rode their first roller coaster. I remember when it opened, so it is weird to think it won't be there soon. At the same time, I think I am going to enjoy the changes they are making and I think the kids will as well.

Oh, that's a little sad about ToonTown. I missed the part where that was leaving - although I should have put it together. My kids really like it but they're not as connected to the Mickey Mouse characters. They're more into the characters that come along with the new movies so they probably won't be hearbroken. I'll be taking lots of pictures for sure, though!

Will post it if I find it again. Has anyone heard how long all of this will take? I'd love to go again 2011-ish but I also don't want to be in the middle of the construction.

I thought I read something about it being finished around 2012 or 2013. But I have also heard that they will keep the construction from bothering the regular areas.



So, Mickey and Minnie's houses are moving to Mainstreet? Interesting! Not sure where they'll put them. It will definately be neat to see the finished changes compared to how it is now.

If anyone finds anymore links/ information/ whatever, please share it here! I"d love to read and learn more about all this! Thanks!

Britt, FL's Toontown Fair is a lot smaller than CA's Toontown. I barely realized I was there until someone pointed it out to me! IMO the one in CA is WAY better.

I dont think they ever said they were moving Mickey and Minnies actual houses to Main Street, but they said they'd be relocating Mickey and Minnie to Main Street, so who knows what that means. Maybe they'll have little houses there!! that'd be cool!!

even without young kids i'll be sad to see the end of mickey and minnies houses, so many cute details! still it means ther should be something new to see when we return in 2012.
