Mickey's Toontown Fair to close at Disney World
When you travel to visit Mickey this spring, you won't find him in his house. Walt Disney World has announced that the Mickey's Toontown Fair area of the park will close after Feb. 11, 2011.
The area features the side-by-side houses of Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, Goofy's Barnstormer - a kiddie coaster, Donald's Boat - a playground for toddlers, and a large character greeting area where guests can meet Mickey and Minnie, Tinker Bell and her fairy friends, and several Disney princesses.
Mickey's Toontown Fair is being closed as part of Disney's grand plans for the largest Walt Disney World expansion ever. Princess castles, restaurants, and a new ride based on The Little Mermaid are being added to Fantasyland.
The construction is set to be completed in 2013.
Mickey's Toontown Fair opened as a new "land" at Walt Disney World in 1988, when it was called Mickey's Birthdayland in celebration of the Mouse's 60th birthday.
Many Disney enthusiasts dislike the cartoon theming of the area and say that it doesn't fit in with the rest of Walt Disney World. But the land in the northeast corner of the Magic Kingdom has proven popular with families.
The Disney Parks Blog says that Disney World guests will still be able to meet their favorite characters after Toontown Fair closes. Mickey, Minnie and the Disney Princesses will greet guests in a building in the Magic Kingdom's Town Square. Tinker Bell will move to Disney's Hollywood Studios, and her fairy friends will flutter over to Epcot.
