What would Mickey's Toontown be without those two lovable chipmunks Chip and Dale? You do know how to tell them apart, right? I thought so. They were kind enough to open up their treehouse to all the visiting guests. Are you one to deny the invitation? I didn't think so. The younger ones will love climbing up the inside of their home to see everything that Chip and Dale left about. Explore to your heart's content. Since their treehouse is in the far corner of Toontown, you can get a great view of the rest of the land from the top. There is also a slide if you want to take the quick way down. The kids will have fun at this attraction, but I doubt it will hold the attention of too many other guests. There isn't usually much of a wait at all so feel free to send the kids up and watch them scurry around like chipmunks.

This is a classic piece of Disneyland history. The Disneyland Railroad will take you on a clockwise journey around the perimeter of the park in style. I don't consider a trip to Disneyland complete without a complete ride around the entire park at some point in my day. I usually go at night to enjoy the park in its illuminated brilliance. There are four steam powered locomotives that have been around for decades. The crews of the railroad take their job very seriously and like everything in Disneyland, keep completely true to the original essence of the the attraction. You can almost feel Walt Disney taking a tour in the same train as you. Not much has changed with the Disneyland Railroad over the years. When Mickey's Toontown came into existence, a new station was added here in the Toontown theme.

The main station is at Main Street. It's a beautiful station which is one of the first sights as you enter the park. The next stop is here at New Orleans Square. This simple station consists of an overhang and a ticket booth on the opposite side of the tracks. A Morse code message can be heard being tapped from the booth. Many don't realize that this is actually Walt Disney's opening dedication speech being typed out for those waiting. As you then journey towards the Toontown station here, you pass through Critter Country catching a glimpse of the Rivers of America and a brief look inside the finale of Splash Mountain. The Toontown station is completely decked out in bright colors and exaggerations appropriate for the theme. The next stop is in Tomorrowland. On the way you pass behind It's a Small World and see a quick look at the botanical gardens. The Tomorrowland station also consists of a simple overhang. But the trip from Tomorrowland to Main Street is the highlight of the ride. As you travel, you enter a large diorama of the Grand Canyon, first looking at the Canyon as it appears today, and then as it may have looked during the time of the Dinosaurs. It's fun and even comes complete with a Tyrannosaurus Rex and Stegosaurus battle. I can remember the diorama from Disneyland visits decades ago. Ahhh the memories...

I love Donald Duck and I'm glad that he has a place of his own here in Toontown. I have to say that it is a little hard to miss Donald's Boat. Why? Because it is a big fat boat planted in Toontown. It's no ordinary boat though. It's the Miss Daisy. What a perfect name. So go ahead and enter. He doesn't mind. Welcome aboard I say. Walk through his home and see bits and pieces of his life. There is quite a bit to play with here, especially on the second level. Climb up to the top and take control of this big houseboat. Sound the horn. You know you want to. This is another great place to just let the kids go off and explore. They'll have a great time.

Gadget was always a very cleaver mouse. She could whip up just about anything using nearby spare parts before you could blink. When Mickey's Toontown was being built, she came forward and volunteered to quickly put something exciting together for the younger guests. After what appeared to be no work for her at all, we arrive at Gadget's Go Coater. It's appropriate that this attraction is located next to her friends Chip and Dale. I haven't seen the Rescue Rangers around much lately but I know they keep in touch like the good friends they are.

It is a very smooth and gentle ride for kids of all ages, as long as they are over 35 inches tall that is. Unfortunately the ride seems to be over before you can even being counting seconds off. There's that and the fact that there are usually only 2 trains on the track at a time. One is off doing the Go Coaster thing while the other one is loading and unloading. Therefore, the line can get really long and it doesn't move quickly. So if you are of the older folk I would consider passing unless you absolutely have to experience Gadget's Go Coaster. You have to admit though that Gadget puts together a pretty good coaster for the kids. I'm impressed.

Goofy's Bounce House is the first house you come across when you enter the more residential part of Mickey's Toontown. It's easy to spot this house because it looks well... goofy. Just take a look at the exterior. The architecture is unique enough but look closer at the surrounding area. There is evidence of goofiness all over his garden. Ladders are broken and squashes are squished. The destruction of the exterior is enough to tell a unique story and you soon find yourself putting Goofy's actions back together again in your head as you view this fun touch.

However... This is an attraction that I will probably never get to experience. I'm just too big. What can I say to that? There is a maximum height restriction here which is 52 inches. But don't worry because all the the fun inside is supervised by a Cast Member. Things won't get too out of control. As the name suggests, Goofy's Bounce House is the place to go to literally bounce off the walls. Bounce off the floor, the walls and even the furniture. The younger ones just have to take their shoes off before they go inside but i'm pretty sure they'll have a great time. I know I would.

The Jolly Trolley is the perfect way to go from one end of Toontown to the other. It certainly is the way to travel in style. The Jolly Trolley is made up to look like a big toy with a turnkey on the roof that appears to wind down as it moves along. Speaking of moving, this trolley doesn't just glide along the track, but it bobs, dips and weaves on its path to either destination. So hang on tight while experiencing this fun and unique ride. You can catch this Toontown transportation near the fountain at Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin and down by the other fountain near Mickey's House. It doesn't hold a lot of people but the line usually isn't too bad. Have the operator ring the bell for me.

You may notice that there is a Jolly Trolley station planted right in between the two stops. It even says "Jolly Trolley" on a posted sign. That's hilarious to me. Why? Feel free to sit at these station benches, but as the nearby fine print points out, the Jolly Trolley doesn't actually stop here. But it is a great place to watch it go by. It makes me wonder how many guests sat down at those benches and wondered what was going on as the trolley passed right by them.

Mickey is the core of Disneyland. Mickey is the core of Disney. Even Walt Disney said that "it was all started by a mouse." Mickey has to be one of the most recognizable icons in the world. Here is where you can meet him. This is where he lives. So what are you waiting for? Walk through his home and take a look at his life. There's a lot to see and do in his living room, kitchen, and even in the garden. Go ahead and sit in his chair and put your feet up. Play around a little. Get a feeling of how the mouse lives.

As you make your way through the house and out into the garden you can either wait in the line to meet Mickey or make your way out into Toontown. If you decide to wait and meet Mickey you will wait in a queue in his barn while some entertaining Mickey Mouse clips are played for you. It gives you a chance to get excited about meeting the mouse. Soon enough the big moment will arrive and you can meet Mickey. Don't worry. He's really nice. If you get a picture taken here with Mickey (or by any other Cast Member in the park) remember that you can check it out later in the day at the Photo Supply Company on Main Street. I have seen Mickey away from his house on occasion but make no mistake. Mickey can almost always be found at home. So if you want to meet Mickey, this is the best place to go. Mickey's awesome. I can't imagine a day at Disneyland where I don't see him at least once.

How appropriate is it that Minnie's house is located right next to Mickey's? It wouldn't make any sense if it was anywhere else in Toontown. Minnie's house is full of items to touch and push and play with. Look at the pictures, look in the oven, and look in the refrigerator. There's plenty of things to take a look at. Just walk through and take in the Magic. If you go out into the back there is a well there for you to make a wish. Make sure that you do that. Minnie is usually in the area and you can have a picture taken with her by a cast member if you would like. Minnie's great. And here's where she lives. I love those Minnie mouse ears that just fit over your head with the bow. My thumbs are up if you ladies wear a set of ears at the park.

Wildness. Craziness. Dizziness. You're out of control! Get ready to be dropped right into the world of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" with Roger's Car Toon Spin. Enter the Toon garage and soon you will have a seat in Lenny the Cab. I'm guessing that Benny is out with some other passengers of his own at the moment and is currently unavailable. The stop light goes green and soon you are off. But before you even realize that you have rounded the first corner, your cab's wheels are "dipped" and you are spinning out of control. Grab the wheel in front of you and spin to the left, or spin to the right. Spin until you just can't stand it anymore. You will go completely out of your mind in this crazy spin. Just watch out for the weasels and more Dip. That's the last thing you want. Don't fear though. Roger will take care of you. In the end, he will provide you with a portable hole that will take you safely back to the Toon garage where you started.

How can I not mention the fantastic queue here at the Car Toon Spin? With just one look at the extra effort you know what makes Disney, Disney (when they want to be). It would have been so easy to go with something very simple for a queue. Instead, they took the time to take you on a small journey through the world of Roger Rabbit. You pass a number of environments and characters from the movie like Baby Herman, Jessica Rabbit and even a weasel or two. There is even a room whose bowels are full of the deadly Dip. I remember when this attraction opened and that room had steam spewing, but that cool feature is now extinct. In the main loading garage they have personalized license plates mounted on the wall and you always catch plenty of guests turned around staring while they try to figure them out. Ultimately, waiting in this line isn't so bad here. It is the most entertaining line in the park. Well maybe not. Indiana Jones Adventure is pretty good too. With the FastPass system, guests don't spend quite as much time in this line as they used to, but you still get the opportunity to walk through it.

You gotta love this attraction. They took a classic Disneyland element and put a spin on it. It is a simply a dark ride like what occupies a good part of Fantasyland, but it's full of dizzying spins and high energy. It's a lot of fun and the different scenes you pass through are funny and entertaining. The queue is great and you get a lot of entertainment value here. I recommend Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin and it's good for the whole family. The fact that there is a FastPass distribution center tells you that the line can get rather long so just keep that in mind.

This particular place is located right between Daisy's Diner and Goofy's Gas. Toon Up Treats has a few kinds of specialty sandwiches available for you. Salads are also there to fill you up. Drinks are there to quench your thirst and there is some sugary fuel there for the old sweet tooth.

One good thing is that if you are in the mood for some eats here in Toontown, all of these places to feast are right next to each other. So you don't have to travel far to fill your stomach up with all different kinds of food. There is also shaded seating out in the surrounding City Hall clearing to hold everyone a good part of the time, but seating can go fast and it might go really really fast on a busy day. I make no guarantees.
