Is anyone aware of if the structures are intact, and (if so) where they are? I heard they were demolished but other people said otherwise.

I am pretty sure they were demolished.
I was just wondering because I was hoping that maybe in the future they would relocate it, because it was one of my favorite parts of the park. :/

While Toon Town was never my thing, I appreciated having all the meet-and-greets in one designated spot, whereas now it has infiltrated the once creative, ride-driven Fantasyland.
As for New Fantasyland, sure it's pretty, but that Mermaid ride is, in my opinion, the biggest insult ever to Disney guests. Such a beautiful queue area and large space wasted on such a boring attraction. And why the need for another Mermaid ride when DHS already has an attraction that tells the exact same story? Why not do something different, a twist perhaps? If you're going to have 2 rides based on the same source material, make them at least tell different stories. For example, a scary Ursula-themed ride could've been great. Like the original Snow White's Adventures, where the witch dominated everything.
Speaking of Snow White, the new 7 Dwarfs Mine Train is fun, but for a 90 minute plus wait? Definitely not worth it. Me and my gf caught the short line during fireworks, and only waited 15 minutes. So while we didn't think it was spectacular, it functioned well as a harmless kiddie ride with slight thrills. But for my parents and siblings who then waited over an hour for the same ride? Wayyyy too short for such a wait. The ride needed, perhaps another set-piece, and a longer track, with some more thrills. Because, as it stands right now, it's sadly underwhelming.
Biggest surprise of Fantasyland - Winnie the Pooh ride. I temporarily lifted the boycott (still not over Mr. Toad's departure) to kill time while waiting for other family members. Me and my gf both agreed that the ride, at least, captures that old-school, surreal, vaguely nightmarish quality of the original dark rides. Maybe it's just me, but does anyone find it a bit drug related? Lol. Not a great ride by any means, but compared to Little Mermaid, a masterpiece of imagination.

Little Mermaid is way better with the black lights, and BoG is amazing.
I haven't decided if its worth the loss of SWSA yet.

I miss Toontown too! I worked at SWSA on my Disney College program so it had a little piece of my heart w/ it. Sad to see it close
