Sad to see it go. Our last trip was Sept 2010 and we road Barnstormer many times. We saw that work was already being started. My kids are older now so not as interested in the area, but will definitely visit the new Fantasyland when it opens.

When is the new Fantasyland scheduled to open?
Kind of sad to see it go too...back in 1994- on our daughters first trip as a two year old - we spent a lot of time there and got a lot of pics.... hope the expansion goes well.
i was actually always a little underwhelmed by toontown. Even as a young child it wasn't too exciting. They used to have the Disney Afternoon live stage show which was kind of cool, and Minnie Moo, and a few other things but it was never really an "exciting" place in the park, more like a space filler in the corner. Mickeys House was cool, but you really couldn't do much in it except walk right through with everything roped off. Maybe it was just me
I never much cared for Toontown either. Only passed through to or from the train station.
I'm excited for what's next!
Thanks for sharing the pictures. We will miss the houses but are looking forward to the improvements.
Cool :thumbsup:
How sad.
Lots of great memories for us in that area.
I am so glad my wife's cousin got to take her little ones there in August. Seeing the rapt look on those little girls' faces was priceless.
In my opinion, change isn't necessarily good.
Change is just that, change. It can be good, but just as easily can be bad.
Based on Disney's track record when it comes to change over the last 15 yrs or so, this could definitely go either way...:unsure:
Sad to see it go just a couple of reasons.
-Lots of memores of my three little guys running around Donald's boat getting soaked.
-I will miss the teardrop and the unusual characters who came out for meet n greets there.
I'm very pleased that Toontown Fair is finally being replaced. It never fit in with the rest of the park in my opinion. The atmosphere was lacking a certain something.
I do understand why some people, especially those with kids, liked going there, but I believe that the new Dumbo area will be much better. Just the simple fact that there will be two Dumbo hubs as opposed to one is a huge plus and the kiddie coaster will still be there under a different name and theme. I'm confident that those who are sad about the removal of Toontown Fair will find plenty to enjoy in the new area.
The Dumbo area will be alright. I am concerned with the northern part of Storybook Circus, the area where Pixie Hollow was supposed to go. There will be absolutely nothing in that area, other than the same dull, boring tents that currently reside there. No ride. Nothing.
What's nice for us, is that we have so many pictures of DD at Toontown through her various ages.:mickey:
I'll kind of miss Toontown, but it was never our favorite part of the park. It always seemed so congested while we were there, and we always go during slow times. I don't think our girls will be upset, and I'm sure they'll enjoy the new area when it's done. I'm not all that crazy about circus themes, but I'm sure Disney will do a great job.
Don't lament the loss of Goofy's Barnstormer yet. I do believe they are going to re-theme it and include it in the new area. Also, people, don't hold your breath that Disney will move Mickey and Minnie's house "somewhere else on property." Don't mean to burst your bubble, but it just ain't gonna happen.
I'm excited about the additions. I'm sorry to see the mouse house go. I do hope they are going to relocate it, but since I haven't read anything that says that, I presume it's gone.
Goofy's barnstomer is staying put, it's being re-themed to the great goofini or something circus-y.
:rotfl:
This is kind of horrifying to me. Sorry, Mickey.
