Aerial View of Mickey's Toontown Brings Nostalgia to Disney World Fans

Mickey’s Toontown Fair was one of themed lands in the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World Resort; however, it closed in February 2011 to make room for future expansion of Fantasyland. Now, the area is home to Storybook Circus, which hosts rides such as Dumbo the Flying Elephant and Goofy’s Barnstormer.

Many Walt Disney World fans miss Mickey’s Toontown Fair, and even though they can’t visit the land in person, they can enjoy some nostalgia thanks to an aerial photo making its rounds on social media.
