Disneyland officials in Anaheim, California, announced last Friday that Mickey’s Toontown reopening has been delayed from its original reopening date of March 8—now set for March 19—due to unexpected weather conditions, according to park officials.
The cartoon-themed land will feature rides like “Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin,” “Chip n’ Dale’s Gadgetcoaster,” and other interactive attractions with Mickey and friends.
“Due to heavy winter storms that impacted our construction momentum, we are adjusting the reopening date of Mickey’s Toontown to March 19. We can’t wait for our guests to visit and experience the reimagined land,” Disneyland officials said in a statement.
Guests are still able to access a portion of the area to ride the newly opened “Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway” ride, unveiled in late January as part of the Disney company’s 100th-anniversary celebrations.
According to the park’s blog, Toontown has been redesigned to include more open spaces for family play and parental relaxation which will be unveiled in the area’s new “CenTOONial Park,” including grassy play areas, a “dreaming tree” to relax and play under, and an interactive water fountain with water tables for guests to soak their hands.
Disneyland officials also confirmed that fan-favorite areas, including “Mickey’s House” and “Minnie’s House” will return when the land reopens, according to a recent park statement.
Other Toontown updates include “Goofy’s How-to-Play Yard”—a new interactive play area for kids—and “Donald’s Duck Pond”—which was updated from its previous boat playground to include a shallow water play area for younger guests.
The Anaheim amusement hub is slated to host other new attractions around the park including “Princess Tiana’s Bayou Adventure,” which is set to replace Splash Mountain in late 2024, as well as the reopening of “Tarzan’s Treehouse”—now known as the “Adventureland Treehouse” sometime this year.
