Good morning! This day in Disney history, Jan 24th, 1941. "Pluto's Playmate" directed by Norman Ferguson is released. Pluto has some frustrating encounters w/ a couple of characters from the sea. For a giggle, watch here: http://is.gd/CQeLly
✨Also on this day in 1993, Mickey's Toontown opens at DL. Happy 20th birthday Toontown! Do you like this area? What is your favorite attraction there? For more photos: http://is.gd/YrD8iF
As always thanks for reading! :)
When I was younger toontown was so much fun and full of things to discover. But now it seriously need a refurbishment, update and TLC! It's starting to become the sketchy part of DL. - Miss-E-Mouse

Agreed! - fairyshley 467.5 #260 11:43AM
I absolutely agree with you! - MoonWillow 367.4 #378 11:47AM
I'm in favor tearing it down and building Star War land. - vincentchase 636.7 #167 12:39PM

I honestly am rather meh on Toon Town. I like that Mickey and Minnie have their houses there and both houses are very fun, hands on places for minis. I like Gadget Go Coaster, but don't make the trip out there just for that. I'm not a fan of Roger Rabbit. The little garden play area is a plus. I just feel like the place needs some re-imagineering. Places like Donald's boat and Goofy's house are spaces with great hands- on potential for the minis but really fall short. The musical fountains haven't worked right in years and the little trolly car looks so sad just sitting there. Didn't the treehouse used to have a slide? Now it's so un-interesting. I just feel like toon-town has gotten neglected and really has great potential but is not up to modern Disney standards. - MoonWillow

I remember Donald's house and the treehouse had a slide. The treehouse also had a ball pit with acorn-balls :]. - MEHlanie_Mouse 690.1 #146 1:01PM
You don't want to know about the ball pit. 😷 - bluefairy 627.0 #174 2:28PM
Lol! Yeah, there are some changes that are just for the best! - MoonWillow 367.4 #378 2:47PM
I completely forgot about the ball pit. 🙈😷 - Duchess_SMK 3253.8 #11 5:27PM
I miss the trolley - HasAnyoneSeenMyGlassSlipper 321.2 #515 7:50PM
If they got rid of toontown where would everyone live!? - AshleyLynn22

As always SMK... You do a great job. I love to learn and look forward to your posts! I remember this cartoon. Disney cartoons were so much better than anything else. Don't get me wrong, I loved Bugs Bunny, Beanie and Cecil, Jonny Quest, Clutch Cargo, but Disney cartoons were hands down the best! I like Toon Town because it is fun to explore and Go Go Gadget Coaster is one of the little known great rides, but TT would be more fun if my minis were still mini and it could use some imaginearing TLC!!! - Boundin

I love Toontown, I just think it needs some good lovin'... my very first visit was right after it opened :] - MEHlanie_Mouse
690.1 #146 11:26AM
and my favorite parts are all the interactive elements, it's perfect for kids that love to grab anything they see :] - MEHlanie_Mouse 690.1 #146 11:32AM
I agree, it needs some TLC! My minis love the firehouse/jail area! - Duchess_SMK 3253.8 #11 11:49AM
I do remember that cartoon!!! And you might think I'm crazy, but I totally love Gadget's Go Coaster! I think it's so fun! Thanks SMK! Another great Disney History post! - MyPark

Good morning MyPark! Teehee, idk why but that doesn't surprise me. 😊 - Duchess_SMK 3253.8 #11 11:51AM
Have you ridden it??? It's FUN! - MyPark 943.6 #91 11:57AM
I have once, I remember if being really short, but fun. - Duchess_SMK 3253.8 #11 5:28PM
I love Pluto's Playmate! It always makes me so sad and anxious when the octopus holds him underwater and his "playmate" has to resuscitate him! - FunOnABun

Me too! I find myself holding my breath! Lol - Duchess_SMK 3253.8 #11 5:28PM

Me too. Hope you are well, thank you as always for your support. 😘 - Duchess_SMK 3253.8 #11 5:30PM
I love Toon town!! I have so many memories there when I visited as a kid. Getting a pic with Roger Rabbit is a memory I will always remember. I miss the trolley moving. My kids love it. - RickChavez

Thats right! I forgot it used to move!!! - Duchess_SMK 3253.8 #11 1:13PM
Hey Churro, did you get your TOT pose from Toontown opening day? lol - aprilinjune4
380.7 #353 12:03PM
I was SO wondering if someone would say that! 😂 - Duchess_SMK 3253.8 #11 5:33PM
Toon Town has so much potential, and yet it is just blah. - aprilinjune4
380.7 #353 12:05PM
I didn't see ToonTown until 2006. I agree that it needs a makeover. The trolley that doesn't run makes no sense. Ava got on last time we were there, and was heartbroken that it would not go anywhere. - ScooterMike

I loved getting a photo with Minnie outside her house in November. I personally like Toon Town. - RapunzelledColey

Big fan of that are and I agree that it needs some TLC. Roger rabbits car toon spin is also great, but I think it could also use another ride back there. The meet and greats make it worth while too. - MakilHeru

That is so cute with Pluto, thank you! We like certain parts of Toontown...but we really don't spend tons of time there to be honest, even with my little ones. Agree it could use some improvements! Thanks for the awesome post!! 😊 - MinnieMousewife

I like toontown, and i agree it needs a face lift. My favorite part of toontown is the symphony fountain and you jump on an insturment on the ground and it plays that sound! the post office is a lot of fun too - GoofyMom77

Wait! I did not knowabout that!!!! Thank you! - otilegna 860.9 #106 5:04PM
I tend to call it TylenolTown. 😂😂 - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint

Thanks for your history post - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1775.2 #42 3:37PM
Great history post; thanks! My favorite part of Toon Town is that TNT box, because when I was little it used to freak me out when I pressed it down! - JRDrummer_CM
789.4 #117 5:06PM
Aw everyone hates ToonTown, but I love Minnie's house! Fun places for taking pictures. Other than that there's not much I do there. 😄 - Jillian
765.4 #128 7:01PM
I wouldn't say hate. That's a little strong. - MyPark 943.6 #91 8:06PM
******I know how Pluto feels with frustrating encounters! Lol, I love Toontown, especially Mickeys's House! Thanks for the history class!☺ - MadameLeota

I'm pro toontown... that is all ^_^ - KylaShea

Since toon town is so small and called toon "town" is it technically not a land? - Philliprocks

Toontown was amazing when it opened. I think with all the new technology Disney could really amp up the interactive features. Donald's boat and Chip and Dales treehouse get looked over. Cartoon Spin is one of my favorite attractions though! That queue is amazing!! - BettyPoop
