Mickey's Toontown Fair

Mickey's Toontown Fair was added to the Magic Kingdom in 1996. It's not part of Uncle Walt's original design.

This section doesn't even connect with Cinderella Castle, so is it really part of the Magic Kingdom? Or just an afterthought?

Does it really matter?

If your kids are between the ages of 4 and 12 you must visit. Don't fight it, just give in now.

Besides, where else can you see Mickey's and Minnie's Houses? Where else can you walk through Donald's Boat? Where else can you see a cow that has a Mickey "tattoo"?

The Barnstormer ride is all kinds of fun, and if you get there right after the park opens you might get to ride up front with the old Goofster himself.

Dad's Bottom Line

Mickey's Toontown Fair was not part of Uncle Walt's design for the Magic Kingdom, but it is a good place to get autographs when the parks are not crowded. When crowds are big, lines can get pretty long. Donald's Boat is great in the summer, let the kids have a ball.

For the adventurous young ones The Barnstormer is a great ride.

If your kids are older than 12 you can plan to skip this altogether.
