===After the Grand Opening===
The first major addition to the Magic Kingdom came in 1988 when Mickey's Birthdayland was built. The land was supposed to be a temporary addition to the park in celebration of Mickey Mouse's 60th birthday. The land consisted of the fictional down of Duckburg, and allowed guests to tour Mickey's house. The land also featured Minnie's Surprise Party, which was a show about Mickey's birthday. A train station was built in Mickey's Birthdayland so that the [[Walt Disney World Railroad]] would be able to drop guests off their. Although originally intended to be temporary, the land was popular with guests that it was renamed Mickey's Starland in 1990. Minnie's Surprise Party was re-themed and became Mickey's Magical TV World. The new show featured characters from the popular Disney Afternoon cartoon shows.
 
In 1996, the land was once again re-themed. Now called Mickey's Toontown Fair, the new land took place in the fictional Toontown.
