Mickey's Toyland???

[adamthegetupkid]

In a fairly recent issue of Celebrations magazine, an article stated that WDW's Toontown (RIP) was briefly called Mickey's Toyland. How long did it go by this name? What were the circumstances for this name? Was it just for the 1995 holiday season? I don't recall ever hearing it go by this name, but it was almost 20 years ago.
According to Wikipedia (not the most legitimate source, I realize, but...), it states, "At the Magic Kingdom, Mickey's Toontown Fair (now Storybook Circus) initially opened as Mickey's Birthdayland on June 18, 1988. It became Mickey's Starland on May 26, 1990, and was briefly renamed Mickey's Toyland in late 1995."
Please someone shed some light on this. Thanks.

For another six years, Mickey’s Starland limped along with its odd name (although for the 1995 Holiday Season, it was temporarily Mickey’s Toyland) and without a ride—unless you want to count the Walt Disney World Railroad[/QUOTE]

Simply put...It was just a rename during the Holiday season..
