Am I the only one who,

I like Storybook Land much better than Toontown. Toontown just wasn't very well done, especially in comparison to the Disneyland version. I mean, how did they get this:

After having been to the DL version, I just felt like ours was pathetic.

I do like Storybook Circus. I should also mention that I'm a Dumbo fan. I think the double Dumbos with the play area and the air conditioned queue is very nice. My parents are laughing that they didn't have all that when I screamed my way onto Dumbo at age 2 and now it's too late. There could have been more done to that area, but I like it.

To be honest, both look terrible and half baked.

Storybook Circus almost seemed like an excuse to not take down the tents. I don't care much about it either way, it's decent, but there's little to no substance.

Trust me, the DL one is great. A lot of attention to detail, places to wander.

I could do with or without Storybook Circus as a subland, but the expanded Dumbo is definitely a huge improvement: with the the substantial increase in capacity now I actually ride it whereas before it was always an automatic pass.

I have yet to even visit it. It doesn't interest me in the least...and I love the Dumbo movie.

 

[Matt_Black]

I like it. It's fun

I'm not a fan of it at all! I really enjoyed Toontown and I miss it dearly. Where do Mickey and Minnie live now anyway?!

I'm not a big fan either. However, I do thoroughly enjoy the smells coming out of that tent. I am guilty of sneaking in a time or two for a candy apple.

I like Storybook Circus but I also never had the chance to see Toontown. My daughter and I enjoyed riding Dumbo and she liked the Barnstormer. We had a ball walking through the shop under the big top. I agree that it presents itself better at night. We shared a tub of popcorn while waiting for Barnstormer on our last night in February and really had fun! A lot of the little kids seems to like the splash pad area and it is nice to hop on the train in this area. We didn't do the meet and greet but next trip we will.

I think it's ok. Not amazing, not terrible. The area is definitely dedicated toward younger kids, but I still enjoy it, especially late at night when its practically empty

I like Storybook Circus .

I'm not a huge fan during the day, but at night the place is pretty good looking. Dumbo is a significant improvement over its past incarnation. Barnstormer took a moderate hit in themeing, but not too bad. The train station is a vast improvement over the Toontown Fair version. Don't mind the water play area, I think its cute. And the sitting area outside the silly sideshow is nice relaxing place to rest your feet at night. So, all in all I see it as a net improvement.

Toontown was alright, but having been there when it was Mickey's Birthdayland, Starland, and then Toontown fair with minimal changes, I could never shake the feeling that we were just being force fed a reason for them to leave a temporary land intact to avoid spending to make something better. And they did. They finally made something better. Not significantly better unfortunately, but at least its better.

Personally I find Storybook Circus to be a great addition to the Magic Kingdom. It is a great thing that they added a second Dumbo and the lighting at night on Dumbo is fantastic. The Train Station is well done and Casey Jr's play area is a welcomed addition to the area for kids on a hot day.

The nice thing is, its easily avoidable. I think the theme is well off enough to not take away from anything, but if you want to ignore its existence you can without missing out on the rest of the park.

Plus its for the kids.

I don't have to trust you...I've been there too.

I agree. It reeks cheapness during the day, but at night it looks good. I guess just like the rest of the new FL. It just gives off this cheap vibe, that I think is a spillover from the Little Mermaid ride.

Because the area originally was never ment to be permanent...Bare in mind Mickey's Birthdayland was made to celebrate his 60th birthday in 1988..

Then it became Mickey's Starland in 1990. As you can see it was just mostly tents (The yellow tent sits where Minnie's house was).

It was definitely an afterthought.

I actually like the idea of a Circus theme and how the area looks, but the substance is lacking. The entire one side of the land with the tents with a terribly poor use of space. Putting a ride instead of (or in addition to) the M&G would have made a dramatic difference in the quality of the land.

But it is pretty.

Doesn't like Storybook Circus? I just never really had a love for the theming like I did with Toontown (Well, I grew up loving Starland/Toontown.) it just looks like some intense toddler themepark lol. I mean I love the circus theming but it's just sort of boring and there isn't much to do there. Also, I swear they cut down the size or something because Toontown felt big and fun while SBC feels small and claustrophobic.

I think it's terrible . I would prefer to have Toon Town back.
