Mickey’s ToonTown

Lots of kids and lots of fun. Great for the kids and the kids at heart. The roller coaster is fun and the Tune Rude is great. This is s good place for lunch, the corn dogs are the best.

Always a fan of Mickey’s ToonTown… especially on crowded Disney days! there’s enough for the kids to do here… that doesn’t require standing in a line…
enjoy yourself and play here! there is goofy’s house (for kids 3 – 5), donald’s boat, minnie’s house, mickey’s house, the gag factory… and chip and dale’s tree house. and no lines! if you want to see and meet mickey at the end of his house «tour» .well then you need to stand in a line (while watching cartoons!)…but we generally bypass it unless the line is super short.
as far as rides… you have roger rabbit and go go gadget coaster (if that’s still the name?)…its a coaster for tiny tots…
variety of quick service food options…
one store to shop in
but tons to see!!!
enjoy

Toon Town is just an adorable little town. Doesn’t matter if you’re five or thirty five, the whole experience is just simply magical.

Mickey’s Toontown, located in the back of Disneyland, has a few rides and a lot of things that’ll make the kiddies happy.
They have one mini roller coaster that kids can ride so that they’ll be able to say «I rode a roller coaster» and get ready for the more intense coasters.
They have the Roger Rabbit spinathon ride where you can make your friends and you dizzy: P
They also have the Chip and Dale Treehouse where kids can run around and look at their parents and say «HI»
They can go through Donald’s Boat, Goofy’s house.
They can also meet Mickey and Minnie in their respective houses (their lines are longg). They can look up at their idols and enjoy the picture that they have with them and be like «I met {Mickey; Minnie}!» And their smiles will roam free. And it’s at no additional cost (hurhur)
They can hear sounds and make things explode and listen to boxes and see what sounds each box makes! :3
It’s a fun place for the kids, and the parents can take a moment and relax for a moment knowing their kids are enjoying themselves in the tree or the house :3
Or you can be 21 years old and try and get through everything BHAHA.
Shhhh none of you see this review xD

Finally came to Toon Town after 2 years with my pass.
Same stuff as I remembered. Had to see it before it shuts down.
Dog pound is fun to take pictures at.
Coast and Rodger Rabbit are the highlights.

Mickey’s Toon Town is a blast but man oh man can the lines get long.
This is where you come to meet Minnie Mouse or Mickey Mouse in their houses.
You can also frequently meet Goofy outside his house.
Some fun rides here include Roger Rabbit Car Toon Spin and a small roller coaster called Gadget’s Go Coaster
Mostly, it’s a good opportunity to walk around and get some great photos throughout the town! Our faves include the Toon Jail with stretchy bars and the fish tank gas pumps.
Another good thing about Toon Town is that the Disney Train stops here as one of its 3 stops.
The downsides include that it is usually jam packed and the waits can be long.
Usually one of the grown ups in our party gets in line while the other adult takes the kid’s around to explore and take silly pictures.
Toon Town could improve by adding another ride or two and offering longer hours to meet the characters. Be sure to check the hours of your Favourite character so you don’t head on over there only to find Minnie Mouse went home for the day at 4pm.

I only give this three stars because it does have a beginner type roller coaster for young kids and Roger rabbit which is ok at best IMO. And yes we do have a child who is 12 now and we did bring her there when she was younger a few times.
Really though with little to no room for expansion they need to turn Toontown into the rumors I’ve been hearing. You know, Star Wars/​Marvel comic Land which would be a huge hit especially with 6 more movies coming out and Marvel comics at an all-​time high!
There’s plenty of other areas throughout the park to meet characters, have birthdays and lunch with, children’s rides like Dumbo, Peter Pan, carousel, etc.

If you’re not traveling with a kid, you’ll probably only want to come here for the Roger Rabbit Car Toon Spin ride or the kid-​friendly roller coaster Gadget Go Coaster (minimum height is only 35″).
However, Mickey’s Toontown is a super cute play area with buildings that look like they came straight out of a cartoon. (Hence the name.) There are definitely a lot of cute photo opportunities. You can also meet Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Daisy, and other friends at their «houses» or similar spaces to get their autographs and picture. You can also run through some of the buildings or pretend to blow something up with some fake explosives that emit a rather loud noise.
Sometimes they only open an hour after the rest of the park does so you might want to ask a cast member before heading there in the AM!

|| MY 100^th REVIEW ||
MY REVIEW:
It’s awesome! A great place to take advantage of silly photo opportunities for young and old alike. The «toonish» architecture is a most excellent site to behold, and it is one of, if not, the best place to run into one or multiple original Disney characters at any given time. You need to make it a point to get your kids here soon, so they can witness this most epic creation. 5 Stars!
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW:
So rumors have it that Mickey’s ToonTown is going to be demolished later this year, and on into 2016, to make way for the new Star Wars Land planned to arrive soon. With Disney’s recent acquisition of Lucasfilm, and with it-​the awesomeness that is Star Wars, you had to know a substantial presence inside the park was inevitable. But where would they put it? Tomorrowland is currently the home to everything Star Wars with Star Tours and the Jedi Training Academy, not to mention the Star Trader gift shop where you can find anything related to the films; You can even design your very own customized lightsaber inside. HA! Obviously Star Wars is insanely popular, so trying to cram Star Wars Land into/​alongside Tomorrowland might dramatically congest things a bit.
ToonTown, however, is at the farthest point in back of the park. It’s popularity has been declining over the years, and the 1988 film Who Framed Roger Rabbit, from which the inspiration for ToonTown came, seems to have been pushed back into obscurity with the onslaught of newer, higher-​tech, films coming out annually. So making optimal use of the limited real estate available dictates what stays and what goes. It’s sad, but your nostalgic fondness is only relevant in Disneyland as long as everyone shares it. Lets face it, nothing in ToonTown is as relevant as say, Pirates of the Caribbean or the Haunted Mansion. Imagine the uproar, if Disney decided to remove those two attractions.
I’m an old dude, but I love ToonTown. It is where the original Disney characters live for crying out loud. Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy and Pluto all call ToonTown home in Disneyland. Getting rid of it seems to jab at the integrity of Disney remembering it’s roots, but then again… I’m not on the receiving end of $ 92 for every child at 3 – 9 years of age who enters the park. That particular demographic is going to have a new generation of Star Wars films and cute little Star Wars related characters rammed down their throats in the coming years, while I’m over here all «Mickey Mouse-​Oh Boy!» or «That Jessica Rabbit is pretty hot — for an animated chick.» I may be old, and ToonTown may be geared for children, but it will be sad to see it go. I grew up with the original Disney classic characters. Those characters are what makes Disney special to me. Running a permanent easement through those character’s neighborhood in Disneyland just doesn’t seem right. Now I know how Eeyore feels.

Unilocal’s 365 Review Challenge 2014 #327 — #365
I remember when Toon Town was brand new back in the 90’s and they had some accidents here and there, I’m surprised to see it in operation still after they had a few deaths on some of their rides. Since ToonTown is still here, why not just review it anyway. ToonTown creates an atmosphere as though you are in a cartoon, bringing out the kid in you. You have Gogo Gadget’s roller coaster and Roger Rabbit’s spin ride and Mickey Mouse’s fun house.
Overall this is the area to bring the little ones to have fun and meet the Disney characters in person. You find any fun rides here, all of them are mediocre anyway. It
s good to come here to visit so you can get ToonTown off your list of theme parks but next time I’d rather just go as far as the Small World ride.

*** PROS ***
* Mickey, Minnie, Daisy, Pluto, and Goofy — we’ve met all of them here!
* Gadget’s Go Coaster is our kids’ favorite ride
* Pizza is Available
* Catch the train nearby for quick travel to next stop
* Dime machine (for smashing with Disney designs) is inside the gift shop
* Convenient bathrooms near the Goofy Water (yes, water is on tap for free)
* Plenty of shaded seating
* Great photo ops available
*** CONS ***
* Pluto’s Dog House wouldn’t add cheese to our hot dog even though he said he did have American Cheese for other menu items

Not just for little kids. Like many of my reviews on these kinds of attractions I recommend everyone to experience it. whether you have small children or not take the time to at least walk through and look for all the fun unexpected moments. Actually if you have older kids and they think it;s silly and to «babyish» drag them along with you and force them to find the younger child within.
Walking through the character houses is a treat. even if you re not as interested in the meet and greet with characters just the houses themselves are a fun experience. Walk through Mickey and Minnie’s homes you wont regret it.
Ride Gadget’s Go Coaster and Roger Rabbit.
Open all the doors, push all the buttons crank all the handles over by the gag shop.
Hint: All the Bronze disks around the fountain play music through the instruments in the fountain.

A cute spot to hit so the kids can run around and play while you sit at the park. All the homes are play places and characters frequently come out. Mickey and Minnie meet and greets are always there and not bad of a wait. The rides are Roger Rabbit and the Chip and Dale rollercoaster. Both fun and perfect for kids.
Don’t have the food here though, better elsewhere!

I love this place. It’s like walking into a cartoon.
How can you not like this place? This is where all the classic characters live. Mickey & Minnie. Donald Duck, Pluto, Goofy, etc etc
Many of these classic characters can be found here posing for photos and signing autographs.

I love toon town! Perfect for the little ones. You can hit up mickey’s house and Minnie’s house to take pictures with them solo, there’s a mini kiddie play ground, lots of stationary kiddie cars kids can ride for fun and be safe, and all the other main characters (goofy, Pluto, daisy, Donald) might be hanging out.
****FYI ****** find out what time they open AND close. It may not open at the same time the park does, and may close earlier than the park. That’s the only down side.

This is wear the Disney Characters live! It’s a cartoonish version. The houses have rounded edges and the furnitures are big.
Goofy’ house is what you would call «Goofy» with a crooked shape.
Donald Duck ‘a ship is next to a roller coaster and waterfall.
Micky and Minnie’s house is similar. Why do they live separately? I thought they were married! Hmmm!
The Roger Rabbit ride is also located here.
They have very cute buildings for Banks, Gym, City Hall, Auto Repair, Gas Station and etc.
Gotta check it out!

*Kids Wonderland, Parents: Supervise your children*
Its like a cartoon come to life. Cutsie cartoony rides. Minnie and Micky’s houses (they make an appearance every now and then and the wait is long but at least you get to hang out in the cartoon house).
Picture Op central.
Closes early… usually around 7:30 PM or so.
Recommend.

They should rename this place «Park Your Stroller In The Middle Of The Sidewalk Town». Baby strollers as far as the eye can see and it can be very crowded, at times.
If you got kids under 6 years, this should be your first stop. Then hit Small World next door.
Lots of infants, munchkins and toddlers running around. Try not to step on one.
If it feels like an outdoor Chuck E. Cheese without the pizza, you’d be close.
Otherwise, avoid this place.

I love going to ToonTown to meet the characters or trade pins at the main store Five and a Dime. Toontown is awesome for young kids to run around and feel like they are in a cartoon itself. You have a few really cool things to do in this area that basically is a giant play house. Do try to come before 6pm, they tend to close ToonTown early to prepare for the fireworks.
–You have the character’s houses (Mickey, Minnie and even Goofy is in there– you do have to wait in line for the meet and greet as well as photo op but it’s worth it if you missed them from Main Street). Try to aim here early in the morning when there is hardly any crowds in this section of the park.
–You have Roger Rabbit’s Cartoon Spin where you can spin, spin, spin and speed away in a funky car throughout the ride (long lines at times!!! Highly recommend you to get a fast pass for it though). Cool black lights in effect (my nephew always has a good laugh looking at my teeth in black lights).
–Gadget’s Go Coaster is not too scary for kids and the ride ends super fast. My nephew is 7 years old and found this ride fun and enjoyed the small dip, twists and turns it has. He also had a blast looking at the way that the coaster is decorated. There’s even a giant eraser in by the cast members station. This roller coaster sure made him feel like a big kid.
–ToonTowns Fire Department offers lots of playing space for kids. They can go in and out of this section so keep an eye on your wandering kids. They get to pretend to be lifting a weight from the floor (awesome and silly for pictures), pretend they are locked up in a jail and be so strong to be able to pull the bars apart, there is even a Power House in this area. If you want to give your kids or maybe your significant other a good surprise, have them try to open the door and see what happens =P The Firework House is fun too. You get to pull and pull to try to make the fireworks explode. There is also a nice outdoor seating section in which you can sit and enjoy some pizza as well from Daisy’s Diner or some frozen goods from Clarabelle’s. (Make sure to wash your hands and sanitize them especially if your kids were running around the character’s homes touching things.)
–Five and a Dime/​Gag Factory is the main store in this area. If you are a pin trader, feel free to stop by here and trade away. This store has hats, clothes, toys and even some small souvenirs to take home.
Deducted a star because unfortunately I think ToonTown is poorly maintained. I wish they would make the colors nice and bright once again. Things seem to be fading into lighter shades.
Hidden Mickeys:
–Look up on the fire works in the Firework Factory
–Clarabelle’s «sorry we are closed» sign
–Look at the rocks over at Gadget’s Go Coaster
–The car parked outside of Mickey’s house

This is a cute area within the Disneyland Park, but I personally would like to see at least another ride added to the area as well as more seating for their little food court area. Many times my family and I don’t trek all the way to this end of the park just for the Roger Rabbit ride (my daughter doesn’t meet the height requirement for the mini roller coaster) or to stand in line to see characters.
On our last trip a few weeks back I brought my daughter to Goofy’s playground and purchased an apple slushy at the booth right out front. Sadly that was the worst slush I had ever tasted. It had a strong horrible chemical after taste to every sip, so we had to toss it eventually. My daughter normally loves any type of slush or smoothie type of drink as a treat, but wanted nothing to do with this drink after a few sips. =(
