Meeting Mickey

Today's post focuses on Mickey's Movie Barn, where fans of the Mouse can meet him personally. Although the first establishing shot of Mickey's House in Toontown been posted here previously, rest assured that all the other photos are fresh and new from subsequent trips! As is the case with so many attractions at Disneyland, it's hard to catch all the details at first. That's why my camera goes everywhere with me!



Did you know Mickey can play the harp?



Directional signage:



Some frames from the movie that keeps guests in the queue entertained while they wait for Mickey:













A view of the projection booth window from below:



A promotional poster for Mickey's debut short:



Film canisters from "the archive":



A cute little bulletin board. These postings aren't going anywhere anytime soon.



Finally, the Mouse himself, fresh off the set of "Fantasia"!



A before and after set of pics with Mickey. From 2000:



to today:



Oh the years...where did they go? And why did they take my hair color with them?!?

60th Anniversary Trip, Pt. 10

Welcome to Mickey's House! For those of you looking for a semi-private meeting with everyone's favorite cartoon rodent, this is the place to go!



This time I skipped the meet and greet and just shot photos of the interior!



SOOOO many fun details to check out here. My main reason for coming to Toontown was because of the abundance of rumors that it might be ripped out for another themed land/attraction. A cast member assured me that wasn't the case, but why I take a chance? I clicked my shutter away furiously!



This reminds me of my closet at home.



What a cool living room; Craftsman meets Toon.



This was the hardest one to get; I could barely get my shot composed before another group entered.



Lots of messages for Mickey!



A nod to Steamboat Willie.



This is one happy radio.



Next up: Minnie's house!



I didn't venture too far into this one; it was swarming with kids.



Just another typical Toon living room…



until you look closer and see the bag of Oreos on the couch. Many a tyke checked it out but decided not to indulge. Wise choice.



Minnie's radio; no smile here!



Love the magazines; Cosmousepolitan!



I'd never noticed this gazebo before; something new?



Daisy doesn't get a house; she gets a ship.





These falls look better than the backside of water!



Goofy's Place:



The line was too long for Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin, but I still got a few exterior shots.





Today's first panoramic view of Toontown:



Wouldn't it be cool if these buildings were actually functioning? A Toon City Hall could have so many possibilities.



Toontown sure looks good at night; glad I waited for sunset to occur.









By the time I got this last panoramic shot, I had to skeedaddle over to the Rivers of America for Fantasmic!
