Mickey's Toon Town Fair?

[Imagineer1981]

Just curious when was the last time you went back to MTTF at MK. I went at MNSSHP last year for the first time in probably 10 years, and it was pretty cool, but I just never went over there because I didn't really have a reason because at the time I had no children. I didn't even know about the big barn where you can get autographs, and I worked at MK

Used to when the kids were young, but there is really nothing there to draw us back....ocassionally we will ride the train and get off at the stop and then walk back through the park. To me the area needs a premier attraction, something akin to the Roger Rabbit Car Toon Spin dark ride at DL.

agreed, I don't think that Goofy's Barn Stormer is enough of a draw

I actually love it there - a nice break walking through Mickey and Minnie's house and the Barnstormer is actually pretty fun! Plus I have met a lot of neat characters there - especially Abby Mallard from Chicken Little!

Here's another vote for the addition of a bigger attractionin this area.

My family were just having this conversation a few hours ago as we had a three week vacation in June and did not go anywhere near Mickey's Toon Town Fair.

When I was younger we went to look at Mickey's house, but now I'm in my twenties there is no draw for us and it always seems a long way to walk just to look at Mickey's house.

My mother is 61 and this is still one of her favorite areas of MK, so we will be visiting in Dec.

I think part of the problem is once you walk back there, you have to take the train or doubleback...there is no easy access to other areas

We always go. Have to go see Mickey and his house. The girls have to go see all the characters (especially the princesses) in the barn.

[Mad About Mickey]

We still have young children, DD 2 and DS 5, so it is still a must see for us. The older children like to check out the teardrop while we are there for rare characters.

It's connected to Fantasyland near the Mad Tea Party, and to Tomorrowland via the walkway past Space Mountain. I don't know why/where you would need to "double back". It's also the closest train station to Tomorrowland and Fantasyland. It's probably the best spot to take pictures of the trains as the crew blows down the boiler and "lets off some steam"

I got some great nighttime pics there this past weekend. It quiets down quite a bit after dark in ToonTown Fair. Not nearly as busy as it is during the day. The characters are all there right up until park close. I've noticed on EMH mornings guests lining up at the rope near Fantasyland at just after 8:00am, when TTF doesn't open for another two hours WHY...?!?! LOLOLOLOLOLOL....

We almost always go for the Barnstormer and the characters!

[CaptainJessicaSparrow]

I make a point of visiting back there every few months, especially when I know CP's are coming in because that means Teardrop is a good place to find uncommon and rare characters.

I also hit that area a lot during hard-ticket events, especially Halloween because of the great treat trails and characters.

[MickeysEars]

we love it and we always seem to get there when there are very little people there. We always luck out

[Friend of Figment]

I don't have kids, but it's a must do for me. I love to take pictures at Minnie and Mickey's houses. I have a Mickey pumpkin as the wallpaper on my phone in the fall.

[Dragongirlx]

I always go - I love walking around mickey and Minnies house and I love the store at the judges tent - just the whole atmosphere

[BritCody]

As with every part of the parks we try and hit every area at least once during a trip to say that we did it.

[Coolwench]

We went the first time we took the kids. They were small enough to ride Goofy's Barnstormer, my daughter loved meeting the characters. I love seeing Mickey's house. I think we will go this year because my mother and mother-in-law are coming and I think they would enjoy it.

[Young@Heart]

Not sure if I go if we didn't have at least one "little one" in our family. Hopefully, we'll still be going there for many years to come!

I have a great Toon Town Fair story. In June 2005, we had a trip with another family that included 5 kids in all--ages 3,4,5,6,and7. We had an 8:00 ADR at Crystal Palace, then took the Railroad around to Toon Town. The kids played on the playground next to the ropes for a while, then we lined up close to rope drop time. FIRST, about 6 or 8 characters came out from backstage for our own private autograph session. (There may have been one or two other families there.) THEN, Cinderella, Snow White, and Sleeping Beauty came out to the ropes, took our 3 girls by the hand, and led them into the judges tent!

Of course, we could not get a camera with a good battery out fast enough! So, all we have of the princes parade is our memories! Looking forward to making more memories in Jan 2009!
