- I haven't had the time to read this group (or any other, for that matter)
- in a while, so please excuse me if someone else has already posted this
- info...
-
- Mickey's Toontown at Disneyland is now being "soft opened." The official
- date isn't until January 26. The decision on whether to open or not is
- supposedly being made on a day to day basis, and it is only open for a
- few hours when they do. I finally caught it open yesterday, and it is a
- blast!
-
- The rest of this is spoilers, so go on to the next article now if you
- don't want details.

- Most of the place is walk-through. Mickey's and Minnie's houses have a
- bunch of cute stuff, and you get to meet Mickey dressed as the Sorcerer's
- Apprentice at the end of his place. Goofy's house is apparantly made
- mostly of rubber so that kids can bounce around, but people over a certain
- height (meaning most teenagers and adults) aren't allowed to play. Chip
- and Dale's tree house has slides that are usable by any age, and a pit
- full of plastic balls (actually acorns) for the kiddies out back. Donald's
- boat has another slide, in my opinion better than the two in Chip and Dale's
- tree.
-
- Most of the rest of Toontown is just funky building fronts, a few of which
- you can walk through. There is a lot to see and do, mostly "toony" stuff
- like doorbells that make different sounds and a fire house that smokes.
-
- There is a food court with several small fast-food counters. One of them
- was frozen yogurt. The Jolly Trolly runs along the street from one end of
- town to the other, bouncing up and down as it goes. Gadget's Go Coaster
- is intersting and fun, but is very tame and very short as far as roller
- coasters go. There is also the Roger Rabbit "dark ride" (similar to the
- ones in Fantasyland, I'm told) but it unfortunately wasn't open when I
- was there yesterday.
-
- See you all at the park!
