/* Former Lands */
Mickey's Birthdayland opened as a temporary land in 1988, in celebration of Mickey Mouses' 60th Birthday. The land was set in the fictional town of Duckburg, and a new train station was built so that the [[Walt Disney World Railroad]] could drop off guests there. Mickey’s Birthdayland featured the attraction Minnie's Surprise Party (which was a show about Mickey's birthday) and guests could also tour Mickey's House or visit Grandmas Duck’s farm (which was a petting zoo). The star of Grandma Duck’s farm was Minnie Moo, a cow who had what appeared to be a Mickey head on the side of her body.
Although originally intended as a temporary parkland, Mickey's Birthdayland was very popular. Due to this popularity, the land was renamed Mickey's Starland and it was upgraded to a permanent land status in 1990. Due to the change in theme, Minnie's Surprise Party was closed. When the attraction reopened it was titled Mickey's Magical TV World Show and it now featured characters from the popular Disney Afternoon cartoons including: Darkwing Duck, Scrooge McDuck, Launchpad McQuack, Baloo, Louie, and Chip and Dale. Mickey's Starland closed in 1996 and was given buildings that look more permanent. When the land reopened it was named Mickey's Toontown Fair.
===Mickey's Toontown Fair===
Mickey's Toontown Fair opened in 1996, and closed in 2011. The land was set in Toontown- the place where Disney's most famous cartoon characters lived. Toontown Fair, which replaced Mickey's Starland, took its inspiration from the 1989 movie ''Who Framed Roger Rabbit?'' and featured a more permanent look. Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Pluto, Chip and Dale could all be found in the Judges Tent, as well as other surprise characters who would pop in from time to time. Other attractions in Toontown Fair included Mickey's Country House and Minnie's Country House (where guests could see how Mickey and Minnie lived) and Donald’s Boat (a water play area). Although Mickey's Toontown Fair was full of areas for kids to play, the only real “ride” in the land was [[The Barnstormer at Goofy’s Wiseacre Farm]], a tame roller coaster aimed at younger kids. Mickey's Toontown Fair was closed in 2011 to make room for the new [[Fantasyland]] expansion.
