Originally Posted By Hista98 it's kind of a catch 22 thing if they tear out mickey's toontwon fair, I don't like the fiar concept and think it's cheap but it seems moraly wrong if they tear out mickey's house. To me it seems like one of the only areas of the land that really work. can you imagine the headlines "mickey being kicked out of Magic Kingdom,House being demolished." It seems wierd that they would tear out a place where you can meet mickey as it's opne of the forsure areas you can see him. I had a good dea for the redo.To give FL it's own unique feel from the other FL's. they could do something like world showcase but with Disney charecters, it would have a lot of the current plans but have diffrent areas for the diffrent films. and everything around it is themed to that movie. Like the area by village house will be themed to pinocchio and have pincohhio's daring journey. and they would move the cinderella attraction to inside the castle , the pooh one to the ride, and pixie hallow moved to the old skyway area along with a gerneric area for princess .etc. the snow white ride would get moved next to goofy's barnstormer which would become a snow white themed coaster. so the land would become themed areas based on diffrent movies,rathe rthen generic fantasyland.

I was told most of the structures were not built with long term need in mind. Everytime I go past MTTF I kive a chuckle to think that it still stands after all these years.

It wasn't so much they were built on the cheap, but they were built to be temporary and even if they've been redressed slightly a few times over the years, they still are the same. <<Lol, same thing in DLP. Indy was built as a hold over until Space Mountain opened, and now it is 16 years old.
