The land’s rides are Chip ‘N’ Dale’s GADGETcoaster, Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin and Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway (opened in 2023.)

Additionally, the Disneyland Railroad has a stop just outside the entrance to the land at Mickey’s Toontown Depot. So, you can also hop on the train to take you to or from Mickey’s Toontown.
What else can I do in Mickey’s Toontown?
Besides Chip ‘n’ Dale’s GADGETcoaster, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin and the Disneyland Railroad, Mickey’s Toontown is also home to some great play areas and opportunities to meet characters “at home.”
Donald’s Duck Pond, Goofy’s How-to-Play Yard and CenTOONial Park all offer opportunities for unstructured play in fun and whimsical settings. Adults and kids are welcome.
Mickey and Minnie both have houses in Toontown, and you can often go meet them there or simply tour the houses. Check the Disneyland app for a schedule of times when you can meet with Mickey and Minnie. The schedule will also show you if their pals (i.e. Goofy, Daisy, Pluto…) are greeting guests near CenTOONial Park.
Which characters can I see in Mickey’s Toontown?
Mickey’s Toontown is home to Mickey and Minnie: they literally have houses there! You can find them at home for most of Disneyland Park’s operating hours. Check the Disneyland app for more specifics, and also keep in mind that the whole of Mickey’s Toontown does close during fireworks shows.
Mickey and Minnie’s pals also spend a lot of time in Toontown. Think about characters you would see in Mickey Mouse Clubhouse or in other Mickey cartoons; pals like Goofy, Daisy or Pluto. These characters usually take turns meeting guests near the CenTOONial Park fountain. We suggest checking the Disneyland app for a schedule, or you can ask a cast member for tips about where and when to find your favorite character that day.
Does Mickey’s Toontown close early?
Mickey’s Toontown at Disneyland Park does regularly close during nighttime entertainment. If there is a firework show during your visit, expect Mickey’s Toontown to be closed during the fireworks display and for some time before and after.
You can ask a cast member or look for a sign at the land’s entrance to get an idea for the hours during your visit. One quick way to estimate the hours is to open the description for a Mickey’s Toontown attraction in the Disneyland app. The description should show the ride’s operating hours, and you might notice two different time periods. For example, Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin is showing operating hours of 8:00am to 8:00pm and again from 10:15pm to 11:00pm on the day I am writing this. This can give you an idea for when the whole land will close, but keep in mind that parts of the land might close at different times.
Prior to the 2023 refurbishment, the land would often not reopen after the closure and it would also open later than the rest of the park. Since the 2023 reopening, Mickey’s Toontown has operating hours closer to those of the park as a whole, but it does still close during nighttime entertainment. On evenings when nighttime entertianment is close to park closing time, it may not reopen.
