Mickey's Starland

[shareadream]

Hey Everyone,
I'm 17 years old and i always have one great memory when i was very little and that is Mickey's Starland (Mickey's Toontown Fair). i always remember the Disney Afternoon show with all the characters such as Chip and Dale, Ducktales, Talespin, Goof Troop etc.. and going to see Mickey Mouse in his Dressing Room. Just wondering if anyone remembers this great themed land What are your thoughts on the current Mickey's Toontown Fair? What did you think of Mickey's Starland? (If you can remember it) and does anybody know of any websites about the old Mickey's Starland!

Hoping to here your thoughts
Danny

I remember Starland, but realize that it did have to go for something more permanent. I like the concept of Toontown Fair, but I think there needs to be more there to attract people to that part of the park. Maybe at some point they will expand.

I agree about Toontown and needing more, but they also have a major bottle neck there with only one way in and out.

You mention starland as a "Great Themed Land" which I remember as a child being one of the least themed. I certainly think toontown fair has a better theme, and the area as a whole really hasn't changed that much since Starland. You still have meet & greets, train station etc.

To me though the whole are still feels temporary and sparse. It's a more kid friendly area but that doesn't mean it can't me more enjoyable for older teens/adults too. I'd like to see something larger, a little more enjoyable for everyone, with perhaps a great family e-ticket.

Actually, there are three ways in and three ways out, but the majority of people only use the one by the teacups. There's a walkway to tommorrowland and the train as well.

Actually....I think Mickey's Toontown Fair is more themed than Mickey's Birthdayland or Starland.

I do miss the little show...that was nice.

I think they sould add on to toon town also. Maybe make it look more like the Roger Rabbit toon town. Everytime I think of toon town I think of Roger Rabbit and that song from the movie comes into my head.:lol:

I'm afraid we were much easier to impress when we were children. There wasn't a whole lot to do in star/birthdayland. I remember it fondly but the memory I've idealized wouldn't compare to the status quo. And that's just fine, we return for memories such as these.

Mickey's Toon Town in DL puts toon town far to utter shame.

I know what you all mean, i didn't seem to word it right sorry. I agree with you Toontown Fair is alot better themed but Starland stood out for me being greatly themed because of how old i was.
