It's possible that they may keep it open during the first phase of Enchanted Forest construction, but I'm guessing that it might close sometime within the year.

I'm also wondering if they might try to keep it open until they're close to opening Phase 1, which might give Toontown Fair a little longer. Either way, it won't be much longer that you'll be able to visit that area of the park. Get your pics now while you can!

Originally Posted By FerretAfros I'm kind of sad that I won't have the chance to see it one last time. When I visited WDW last spring, I think it was the only place in any of the parks that we didn't spend any time in. We did almost every attraction in every park, yet we somehow never made it into TTF. I would be a little more upset about it if I had actually felt any desire to go in that area while we were there...

My kids were kids during the Mickey's Birthdayland phase of the area ... which was supposed to be temporary for that one year, so no real nostalgia for us of this area.

Originally Posted By disney pete got to agree with most of you we always go into mickey and minnie's houses zoom around the tent get a pic or 2 if lines are small and sometimes jump aboard the train will only miss it if it's replaced with something of less value.

Originally Posted By gmaletic I'm not a Toontown Fair fan, but I have to say that Mickey and Minnie's Houses are pretty charming. It would have been nice if they'd figured out a way to keep them.
Originally Posted By brotherdave So, did Mickey and Minnie lose their homes due to foreclosure like the rest of America??? Probably got their ARM's through one of those greedy failed banks last year!
