Kids can have birthday parties in Toontown
Young kids with a birthday happening in the first few months of the new year, and who have always wanted Mickey Mouse to pop into their party before hopping on a roller coaster, are in for a special treat at Disneyland.
The Celebrate in Mickey’s Toontown private parties will be available for a limited time at Disneyland from Jan. 19 through March 6.
The 90-minute private birthday parties for groups of up to 10 in Mickey’s House in Toontown can be scheduled at Disneyland.com/CelebrateMickeysToontown. Bookings will be available soon.
The $350 private parties include photos with Mickey, cupcake decorating, games and crafts for young children, and quick entry to Gadget Go Coaster in Toontown.
The parties do not include admission to Disneyland. Daily theme park admission can range from $104 for a Tier 1 single park ticket to $224 for a Tier 6 “parkhopper” ticket, depending on the date.
The limited-time private parties will end just before Toontown closes for an extended renovation.
Walt Disney Imagineering will reimagine Mickey’s Toontown with new interactive play areas for young children as part of the launch of the new Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway dark ride at Disneyland in 2023.
Mickey’s Toontown will close in March for construction and won’t reopen until sometime in 2023.
Before the pandemic, Mickey’s House was used as a meet-and-greet location where visitors could rub elbows with the famous mouse and pose for photos. It remained closed when Disneyland reopened in late April after a 412-day coronavirus closure.
Disneyland changed the familiar meet-and-greet photo opportunities with princesses, superheroes and villains to socially distanced wave-and-play impromptu moments when the Anaheim theme parks returned after a yearlong coronavirus closure.
