Anyone Going to Toontown Reopening Tomorrow 3/19?

[kristensideaoffun]

That’s our plan as well… hoping everyone goes to TT, Indy and Rise. We want to ride Matterhorn and Big Thunder since they’re both going down in April.

We had a great morning! Fantasyland was pretty dead from 8-9am. I actually went to get in the queue for Pinocchio but saw no one was in line and the cars were being cycled through. I walked partway in and asked the ride CM if it was open and she said, “Sure, come on in.” They then let us ride it 3 times without getting off. Haven’t had that happen in a LONG time.

Cute remote control version of the car from Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railroad is in the gift shop at the ride exit.
Price in the park is $50, but only $40 on ShopDisney

I'm ordering for ShopDisney and returning the one I bought yesterday.
I'll need to fill up my cart to get the 30% discount, so Disney still wins!

There is also a matching Train Set for $150, which is not on ShopDisney

Just returned from the park. Got there early and grabbed a breakfast chimichanga from Stage Door Cafe. I'm not sure what the hype is about. It was too greasy for my taste.

Headed to Indy and only waited 15 minutes. Waited maybe 40 minutes for Rise and then headed to the chaos of Toontown. It was packed! The lines were long and it was an odd mix of frenzied adults trying to get Instagram worthy photos + families with strollers not knowing where to go. Pointer, if you want a Perfect Picnic Basket, you can order it on the app for $19.99 from Cafe' Daisy. It was $25.99 (with three snacks and a small water) at Good Boy Grocers and $36.99 with a picnic blanket.

After looking around Toontown, we headed over to DCA Off the Page to meet the amazingly talented Ryan Riller and the ever so marvelous Ann Shen. We bought her calendar and she was kind enough to autograph each page! Double whammy weekend with two of our favorite artists.

Took some photos of the SanFransokyo progress (bridge is open but still under construction) and headed out.

I hope those of you able to get to DL today had a wonderful time and we're able to meet up, too. How fun that would be to do

Kristensideaoffun, what a kind CM! I would love to get take in a ride twice like that. Thankful you had that experience.

Katybird, congratulations to your daughter! I was sure happy so many years ago to get my own braces off!

I realize this may change before I feel comfortable returning to DL but do any of you know whether Mickey and Minnie still open Toontown together? I'm pretty sure I once read on here that they did so an hour after park opening. I would love to take a picture with my dad and both M&M at the same time.

Do those prices include a basket? I just looked at the Good Boy Grocer's page (couldn't find the picnic basket on the Daisy's page) and you can get a lot more of the same snacks (e.g. a 3-pack of Cuties instead of just one) plus a beverage for about $18 if you buy them individually.

This really is the BEST description! We didn’t make it over there until around 2, and it was such a weird mass of just people with lines everywhere that we couldn’t even tell where to go for anything. We ended up just walking through quickly and then leaving, but it was fun to see everything again, and we caught Donald Duck walking around!

We saw Donald and Pete. People treated Pete like he was a celebrity. As he was escorted down the street, people with video cameras stood on both sides of the walkway. They were shouting things like "Welcome back Pete" (was he there before and just returned??) and "Looking good Pete!" Meanwhile, a parent pushing a double stroller opened the gate leaving Goofy's yard and almost knocked Pete over from the side!

So fun! I’m so glad y’all had a great day. We had a great morning too! We even got right on Peter Pan when it reopened! And my daughter was dressed as Alice today and we had the most incredible interaction with Alice and Mad Hatter. We spent maybe ten minutes in TT. There were so many lines, it was difficult to tell what they were all for. Crazy!

The price on Cafe Daisy was just for the basket - kind of like you would buy a tumbler or sipper. The Good Boy! Grocer's price included 3 snack items and either a small Dasani or a Minute Maid juice box. The snack items listed on the website are below. The serving size of the "snacks" is very small.

• Cuties
• Mini Babybel
• Seedless Grapes
• Applesauce
• Yogurt Smoothie
• Goldfish Crackers
• Dried Fruit Mix
• Fig Bar
• Fruit Roll
• Granola Bar

Just checked Cafe Daisy's page on app and it is no longer there. They must have sold out. The lines were super long (stretching under the bridge to enter Toontown).

Yes - I went today. It looked fantastic. Packed, though, of course. I’ll post a more comprehensive report in a separate post later but here are a few pics.

Sorry, I just saw this question. I don't know about Toontown. We were able to get a picture with Mickey & Minnie together in the Lunar New Year photo pavilion at DCA. That was back in February.

Look at WonkaKid's first picture. The people on the far left, next to the wall, under the Mouse Ear Society sign.... That was the line for the baskets!

I was a little late for rope drop this morning, had a car issue before I got on the road. I was in toontown by about 8:20am, it was busy but it def looks like it got worse after we left to head to Indy around 9:45. We waited about 25/30 min for MMRR, got in line a little before 9am. I really liked the updates to Indy.

 

[SOCALMouseMommy]

We walked straight to Toontown after rope drop. It was a huge crowd walking there. We had a few minutes of playing in Goofy’s How-to-Play Yard and house before things got really nutty but it was basically too crowded to really experience/enjoy the land.

The lines for the picnic basket and sippers were really intrusive, making it difficult to maneuver in the land. I think I have said this before but I really wish they would sell these things at a location outside the land … the Fantasyland Theater would have been a great spot.

Lots of adults with no kids buying merch, taking photos and vlogging. It was hard for the kids to enjoy the land with it so crowded.

The store at the exit of MMRR was really cute but we had to leave without buying anything, it was just too packed to even move, much less shop.

Got the kids some of the cute popcorn buckets, met up with @dina444444 and rode MMRR with a pretty short wait (noticed it got much longer later) then we bailed on the land unfortunately. Kids wanted to ride Gadget Coaster and a Roger Rabbit and go inside Mickey’s house but the wait times were too much (60 for Gadget, 45 Roger Rabbit and 60 for Mickey’s house).

When we were there the interactive fountain in the center of the land was roped off… not sure why.

I am anxious to come back on a day when it’s less crowded because it was very cute but we couldn’t really take it all in with the crowds. The details that I was able to experience were on point like this “sidewalk chalk” in Goofy’s How-to-Play Yard.

Did anyone else notice that the characters were not greeting guests at the Main Street entrance? We saw Cruella but not Mickey, Minnie or any of the classic characters. Guess they must have all been busy in Toontown.

We had a fantastic day. Started at Space and Matterhorn before heading to TT. We did the Runaway Railway (our first time), and agree the rest of TT was nuts. Walked through to get a quick look , then high tailed it out of there. We were apparently in WDW NT vlog, as someone from home saw us and sent us a screenshot .

Started the day at rope drop and ended at about 10:30 pm. DL was extremely empty in the evening. I think the drizzly rain helped thin the crowds. TT looks amazing. What a fun area for all the littles (and not so littles now).

I told my kids I thought that was the line for baskets, and my oldest said no way. She said that had to be the line for Runaway Railway.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Thank you, LKing. I'm so glad you were able to see Mickey and Minnie together

Love the sidewalk art pictures, SOCALMouseMommy, thank you for sharing

Wishing all of you safe fun.

I also thought the same! It was so long and crazy! But then we walked into MMRR and the line was only 25 at around 9am.

I’m going with my two boys, who are both so excited to see the reimagined Toontown! I’m a little worried it will be too crazy to enjoy but we’re giving it a shot!

We did TT last week. Everything was closed except for Mickey & Minnie's Railway (so fun!), but we were able to walk around and take photos of all the exteriors without many people around. It was great to see it again
