Disneylanddream.com, The Free Fan Site To Disneyland

Of course, everyone knows Mickey's Toontown existed long before Disneyland was built right next door. One happy day in 1952, while Walt Disney was in Toontown visiting his pal Mickey Mouse, his dream for a new park came up in conversation. Mickey knew that whenever Walt got that sparkle in his eye, whatever he was dreaming was bound to come true. So he was dismayed when Walt confided in him that he was having a difficult time finding a site large enough to accommodate all the wonderful things he had in mind.

"Oh boy, I've got a swell idea!" Mickey exclaimed as he grabbed Walt by the hand and led him over to the fence that separated Toontown from the human world. "Take a look over this fence", continued Mickey. "There's a fine and dandy parcel of land just on the other side that would be a wonderful place to build Disneyland!" And it was.

Many years went by before it finally dawned on the toons that since it was so easy for them to go next door to visit all their non-toon friends in Disneyland, their non-toon friends could just as easily come visit them in Toontown! And this is exactly what happened when Mickey's Toontown was "finally" opened to Disneyland visitors in February, 1993.

The Guide to Toontown

Mickey's Toontown is a perfect place for kids and even a few teens to hang out. The town has many play areas and even has its own morning parade.

Toontown has lots of different gags as you walk through the land. Some of them are...
