Mickey’s Toontown reopened at Disneyland Park on Sunday, March 19, after a lengthy redesign to make the Disney Park land more accessible and entertaining to all Guests. The land boasts three immersive attractions: Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin, Chip ‘N’ Dale’s GADGETCoaster, and the newest addition, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, inside the el CapiTOON Theater. It’s centered around CenTOONial Park, a relaxing grassy area shaded by Walt Disney’s dreaming tree.
The reopened Disneyland Toontown also welcomes back beloved character meet-and-greets with Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Pluto, Goofy, and more. And for the first time, Pete the cat will interact with Guests!
During the reopening day, TikToker @salamandurr_ shared an adorable video of Pluto spinning on a playground toy to the delight of little ones around him while adults waited eagerly for exclusive popcorn buckets:
But unfortunately, the magical moment was quickly halted after the camera cut. After another Disneyland Park Guest commented on their excitement about the experience, the TikToker shared some sad news.
“Unfortunately I don’t think we’ll see it again,” the Guest wrote. “The manager came by and quickly told the handler to stop and get him up.”
Disney Parks fans weren’t happy. “I hope y’all boo’ed,” said @mr.serr.
“Well it made everyone’s day and that’s what counts at the end of the day!” @rockin_disney wrote.
“Party pooper,” joked @puppetcity69420.
Of course, Disney Cast Members never want to ruin the fun for no reason. Most likely, Pluto playing on the interactive equipment was a safety issue or threatened the integrity of his costume.
According to the Disney Parks Blog, Mickey’s Toontown will debut new and delicious dining options when it reopens later this month and will have some exclusive Runaway Railway-themed merchandise too!
Mickey’s Toontown has been a Disney Park staple for Guests of all ages since the 1990s, offering visitors the chance to live like a Disney cartoon character, exploring the homes of the Fab Five and whirling around in a taxi cab through scenes from 1988’s Who Framed Roger Rabbit? The themed space features hilarious cartoon gags and characters from franchises like Disney Afternoon’s Rescue Rangers.
Today, Disney has expanded the land, creating two new spaces, the El CapiTOON Theatre, and CenTOONial Park, as well as opening the new attraction, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway. The Toontown additions come as part of the Disney100 Anniversary Celebration and the Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort’s 100 Years of Wonder festivities.
In fact, Toontown will reopen with more sensory-friendly spaces for play, such as Goofy’s How To Play Yard and Donald’s Duck Pond, along with more green spaces for relaxation… and nothing’s better for that than the Perfect Picnic in the Park! Disney fans will soon be able to purchase exclusive merchandise items, such as the Perfect Picnic Blanket featuring Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse and the Perfect Picnic Basket, a novelty item that comes with three snack items.
For instance, choose from applesauce, a yogurt smoothie, granola bars, Cuties Mandarin Oranges, or a gluten-free fig bar for those with allergy restrictions, plus a Minute Maid juice box or small DASANI water. Moreover, a new quick-service location, Good Boy! Grocers will offer even more tasty treats to make your picnic perfect.
With fast grab-and-go options, this “friendly roadside stand” at the Toontown Farmer’s Market provides yummy bites such as whole fruit, Mini Babybel cheese, Coca-Cola beverage products, Topo Chico Sparkling Water, bottled water, gluten-free cookies, fruit bars, and the classic Disney Parks pickles. In addition, the second new location opening this month will allow Guests to experience Daisy Duck’s “expert culinary skills” at Café Daisy.
Choose from a yummy selection of different flavors, such as the Daisy Dog all-beef foot-long hotdog, the Cheesy Pizza Flop-Pver or Pepperoni Pizza Flop-Over, and even the plant-based Spring Garden Wrap, which mixes quinoa and romaine lettuce with creamy lemon dressing and toasted pumpkin seeds. Plus, Daisy’s Dressed-up Dogm, which features chili-cheese sauce, mac & cheese, and parmesan potato crispies, is something more adventurous to pair with your Picnic Time Watermelon Lemonade or Specialty Cold Brrr-ew with Joffrey’s Coffee & Tea Co. Caramel Mudslide Cold Brew!
What’s more, all meals come with a side of house-made Toontown ‘Tater Chips and you can even add chili-cheese sauce and finish it all off with cinnamon sugar Daisy’s Goody-Goody Donuts. Of course, Café Daisy will offer both onsite service as well as mobile order accommodation.
Disneyland Park Guests can enjoy all these goodies and more when Mickey’s Toontown expansion is finally complete on March 19, 2023.
It’s Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse’s birthday! In honor of this special occasion, the Disneyland Resort is pleased to announce the official reopening date of Mickey’s Toontown in Disneyland Park – March 19, 2023!
It was this time last year that we first announced Mickey’s Toontown would undergo an ambitious reimagining, and reopen with some all-new experiences for families and young children to have more opportunities to play together inside Disneyland Park. At D23 Expo in September, we shared a bit more about the interactive play areas and how we are stepping into a new era of inclusive experiences in this land for families of all ages.
We are all excited to see just how Mickey’s Toontown will become a vibrant symphony of sights, sounds and sensations very soon. Here’s a look at some of what you can expect when the land reopens on March 19!
The reimagined Mickey’s Toontown will provide open, grassy play spaces for everyone to unwind, starting with CenTOONial Park, the first space guests will see when they enter the land. CenTOONial Park will be anchored by two new interactive play experiences; a beautiful fountain featuring water tables designed for play that invite guests to have a sensory experience, plus a nearby dreaming tree with sculpted tree roots providing an opportunity for children to crawl and explore.
Mickey’s Toontown will be home to the new attraction, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway! Inside the El CapiTOON Theater, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway will put you in the wacky and unpredictable cartoon world of Mickey and Minnie, where Guests will board a train with Goofy as the engineer. One magical moment after the next leads you to a zany, out-of-control adventure filled with surprising twists and turns that the entire family will enjoy!
As you may have read, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway will open on Jan. 27, when the Disney 100 Years of Wonder Celebration comes to life at Disneyland Resort!
Over in Goofy’s neck of the woods, Guests will find Goofy’s How-To-Play Yard, as shown in this new aerial rendering of the area.
Dedicated to all things play, Goofy’s How-To-Play Yard incorporates a whimsical sound garden where kids will discover new ways to make wacky noises, as well as enjoy an all-new, elevated clubhouse.
When Guests step inside Goofy’s House, they’ll find a fun, interactive candy-making contraption that only Goofy could imagine! The confectionary contraption begins high outside of Goofy’s home, as drips of honey fall from a beehive onto a chute that slides the colorful drops around and down into the home. From there, junior candymakers will help Goofy make the candy, and the silly sounds of household appliances will combine to make a truly Goofy symphony.
Donald’s Boat will be perched in the duck pond of the Goof homestead. Imagine larger-than-life spinning water lilies, balance beams and rocking toys at Donald’s Duck Pond that will help little ones get the wiggles out. Kids will definitely love making a splash in this space! Guests can also look into the boat through the portholes to witness bubbles of fun inside the flooded vessel and interact with some familiar ducklings including Huey, Dewey, Louie and Webby.
For those wanting to get a little ‘nutty,’ Guests can head over to Chip ‘n’ Dale’s GADGETcoaster, where Mickey’s Toontown’s favorite tinkerer, Gadget Hackwrench, has created a one-of-a-kind, fun-sized coaster for the town’s tiniest citizens.
And at Mickey’s House and Minnie’s House, Guests will once again be able to step right into their homes and enjoy a self-guided tour as they discover special surprises in every room. They may even be able to visit with Mickey and Minnie while they’re there, should they be home!
Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin will also return, where Guests can board Lenny the Cab and spin through the streets and alleys of Toontown as they follow the adventures of Roger Rabbit.
And when Guests feel a snack attack coming on, they’ll be able to turn to two new places to appease their appetites in the land: Café Daisy, where acclaimed culinary expert, Daisy Duck, serves up diner classics at her sidewalk table eatery; and the Toontown Farmers Market at Good Boy! Grocers, a friendly roadside stand, offering grab and go drinks and treats.
Be sure to stay tuned to Disney Travel News for more information about the transformation of Mickey’s Toontown as we get closer to March 19. And in the meantime, please join us in wishing our beloved Mickey and Minnie a very happy birthday!
