What? The elimination of Mickey's Shantytown(tm) is the key feature of this Fantasyland makeover! Seriously, though, and I say this as the father of a three-year-old girl, the point of WDW was to create a place that could be enjoyed by parents and children together, and Toontown Fair cut against that--it was always just for little children to enjoy. If it was something like the Toontown of DL I would miss it, but it's not.I do, however, wish the Toontown area wasn't being tossed out for this. It was always a fun place for kids.
They planning on putting a ToonTown in Hollywood Studios? Can anyone elaborate? I've never heard this before.They could build a more realistic toon town in DHS like they planned years ago. They just have to get around to talking to someone about doing it, then putting it in..
That seems a little dramatic.
While the current plans we have access to have that area closed off there is no reason something can't be moved or modified in the future to allow access to that northern patch of land. Just a quick glance at Google Maps shows 2-3 places where they can access that land.
I'm not sure if you have ever been back there, but if memory serves me right, that is the major entrance to the tunnels. It will be quite a feat expanding north and both conceiling and mantaining the usefulness of that entrance.
Why move the track? Just follow the lead of Disneyland, Disneyland Paris and now Hong Kong Disneyland by building outside the tracks.Um, you could also re-route the tracks....expand outward towards the west a bit...maybe bubble out to the east, towards bay lake, right after the fantasyland stop...
I'd have to imagine that laying new track is no worse in than digging tunnels and such.
ToonTown and Maroon Studios (from Who Framed Roger Rabbit?) was planned for, if memory serves me right, where G-Force Records sits now.They planning on putting a ToonTown in Hollywood Studios? Can anyone elaborate? I've never heard this before.

I do hope WDW gets somthing similar to DL's ToonTown in some shape or form, because its so awesome. So well detailed and so creative.
I'm sure people thought the DLRR tracks were the perimeter of the park for DL, but they managed to shoehorn a tunnel between small world and the storybook canal boat/Casey Jr. and open up a whole new land. So there are ways around it. Just have to be creative.
I guess I don't see the Little Mermaid ride as off-limits to boys. Or the re-imagined Dumbo ride. Or the B&B restaurant. Sure, I can see boys wanting to skip the princess & fairy meet-and-greets (until they hit puberty :animwink, but that's not the totality of the additions.The expansion is all and well for parents of little girls, but what about me and my 2 sons? At least Toontown was neutral and not geared exclusively to one or the other. I guess it'll be an entire section of the park to skip.
