“We are so excited to leverage Disney’s powerful brand, develop new stories and share even more magical experiences with our guests,” said D’Amaro in a quote that could apply to literally anything. The land will have landscaping for both play and parental relaxation. The beloved land will transform into a “vibrant symphony of sights, sounds, and sensations.” Focusing on families with young children, Mickey’s Toontown will feature new play experiences, as well as open, grassy play spaces. Per Disneyland, Imagineers are working to create all-new experiences for families that builds on the legacy of Mickey’s Toontown. Other attractions will be reimagined in new ways, including Gadget’s Go Coaster, Goofy’s House, and Donald’s Boat. When Toontown reopens in 2023, it will still be home to favorite attractions such as Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin, Mickey’s House, and Minnie’s House. The land will reopen in early 2023, alongside the new attraction, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway. To begin this work, Mickey’s Toontown will close beginning March 9, 2022. That’ll soon change, as the entire land closes during the next phase of the project. This has been visible since the parks reopened, but has accelerated in recent months with demolition and work plainly visible from the ground in Toontown. The official announcement from Disney follows significant work behind construction walls in Toontown. This post shares concept art, closing & reopening timelines, quotes, and brief thoughts on the changes. Disney has announced an ambitious reimagining of Mickey’s Toontown in Disneyland that will debut in early 2023, alongside the new Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway ride.
