Well, there is no place to put them, but the M&Gs are moving to Exposition Hall....
And I did such a search. Didn't really find anything outside of that TT is closing as a part of the FLE. If you have another source, please post it.

Only the stuff they demolish. :lookaroun
I'm not trying to be a tool about this, but every credible source around here has said the houses are gone. The rumors that they might be relocated have been based on misreading of vague portions of Disney's statements about this (stuff like "Mickey and Minnie will always have a home at the Magic Kingdom" that people read too much into, for example).
I'm open to being proven wrong if you have a link, but I'm pretty certain Disney has never put out any statement saying the houses would stay.

They have one sub behind Soarin', used for private events. Almost all of the subs have been scrapped, and are buried in a landfill to the west of the Magic Kingdom.
The rumor that the houses are being moved stems from the wishful thinking of a few people that want the houses to stay. There is nothing to indicate the houses are not being demolished or moved. From what Imagineers have said since Day One, or what the blueprints indicate, or what the artwork shows, or what any insider on the boards is saying, the houses are going the way of Horizons (and a good chunk of the Skyway Station).

I believe the quote in question comes from this Orlando Sentinel article
This is true, as Mickey and Minnie are moving into Expo Hall for M&Gs. I think what happened is people don't realize that "house" does not equal "home."

The houses are going.
That's actually just a facade of the top half and, from my understanding, not an actual sub.

That's interesting, I wonder what they didwith the bottom half.
juan, do you know if the tents are staying or going?

hahaha yeah... but the only thing different in harry potter's world is the new ride and some shops and resteraunts... Dueling Dragons is now Dragon Challenge, The Flying Unicorn is now Flight of the hippo-something, I think that they just should've left the rides in The Lost Continent (which is now a small speck of dust on the map, lol), send the rides in Marvel Super Hero Island to Disney's Hollywood Studios, and make the extra land in Marvel Superhero Island! I mean, if Disney's going to start something with MARVEL, take away the land in IOA and create their own land in Hollywood Studios or Magic Kingdom! Of course I don't think it would fit well in MK... but I mean, I'm sure that disney is going to make SOME kind of MARVEL attraction! (Goodbye the seas with nemo and friends, hello the living seas of aquaman! :lol
Seriously, get rid of Universal's Marvel land (which is the other half of why people go there) and bring it over to Disney World. MAKE A MARVEL THEME PARK! now THAT would be a big crowd pleaser and soon people will forget about Universal Studios!

A little part of me will miss TTF. My earliest and pretty much only memory of my first trip in 88 at the same age was watching the stage show and song for Mickey's Birthday Land. We have video of my sister and I dancing along to that song.
Like the others have said, I think it's best if Mickey and Minnie's homes go to yesterland. If they do one day by some miracle decide that M&M should get new homes, wouldn't we rather they start fresh?

(dancing on giant layered cake) "Happy Birthday, its Mickey's Birthday happy happy birthday to you"
That was back when it least it had some appeal with shows like that in the tent along with the houses and nearby theming like Mickey's Dressing Room.
I agree it would be neat to see what innovative things they could come up with for a toon town like neighborhood but these days it is unlikely we would see the same kind of budget or creativity ever go into them.

I'm going to miss Toon Town, my son absolutely loved it as did my wife and I. He's four and we went last May and at least twice a week he asks about Minnies radio and if Mickey has a shop vac in his garage. Also, Goofy's barnstormer was his favorite ride. He will be very confused when we go in September.
Lee, Raven, etc. have they definitely decided on the midieval fair/circus theme for the old TTF area? Are they still trying to decide? Any idea when plans will be released? Seems odd they haven't released the new concept art yet.
Personally, the idea of it makes me want to puke but I'm holding out hope they do it well. It seems the FLE is losing a lot of the grandeur that was in the original plans.
