Walt Disney on Mickey Mouse, whose house is in Toontown:“I only hope that we never lose sight of one thing – that it was all started by a mouse.”
Overview: The long-time homes of Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and friends are found in this cartoon world at Disneyland Park. In Mickey’s Toontown, guests are transported to the colorful and animated metropolis where the Disney animators’ sketchpad comes alive. Here, guests can meet the “big cheese” himself at Mickey’s House, test Gadget’s Go Coaster as it rolls along a giant acorn and hitch a ride on a zany taxi cab on Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin. Kids of all ages are encouraged to play in this whimsical interactive land.
What’s new: Guests are invited to meet with a Disney Vacation Club cast member in Mickey’s Toontown to learn more about what is known as “the best kept Disney secret:” a flexible timeshare program in which members can stay at deluxe accommodations in Disney destinations and have access to more than 500 other resorts around the globe.
Don’t miss: Mickey’s Toontown has eight attractions, including Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin, a FastPass attraction. On this attraction, guests board Lenny the Cab and spin through the streets and alleys of Toontown. At Mickey’s House and Meet Mickey, guests walk through Mickey’s home (complete with Pluto’s doghouse and Mickey’s famous gloves in the laundry) before meeting the one and only mouse himself for a photo and an autograph. The land also offers two places to shop for treats and souvenirs, plus five food and beverage
locations.
Attractions:
Entertainment: Since this is the neighborhood of the “Fab 5,” guests can expect to run into some familiar faces eager to play with guests of all ages. Not only can guests meet Mickey at his house, they may also look for Minnie Mouse and Goofy by their houses. Other playful characters found in Mickey’s Toontown are Pluto, Donald, Chip and Dale. Cameras and autograph books are highly recommended for Mickey’s Toontown tourists.
Dining: Mickey’s Toontown features dining experiences for kids of all ages. Guests may pick up their favorite snacks at Toon Up Treats located at Goofy’s Gas Station and at Clarabelle’s Frozen Yogurt. Next to Clarabelle’s, the “hot dog” himself serves only the best hot dogs at Pluto’s Dog House. Guests may enjoy pizza and beverages from Daisy’s Diner (not to be confused with Donald’s Boat around the corner). Goofy offers refreshing slushies from his classic 1940s camping trailer.
Imaginative landscaping: Like the cartoons themselves, the landscaping of Mickey’s Toontown is bright and colorful. The plants and trees throughout the area were all selected to mimic the colors in Technicolor cartoons. The landscapes surrounding the characters’ homes reflect their individual personalities, with colors remaining constant through the seasons. For example, Minnie’s House blushes hues of pink and purple all year long, matching the femininity of her character.
