/* After the Grand Opening */
The first major expansion to the Magic Kingdom came in 1988 when Mickey's Birthdayland was built. The land was built in celebration of Mickey Mouse's 60th birthday. Mickey’s Birthdayland consisted of the fictional town of Duckburg, and allowed guests to tour Mickey's house. The land also featured Minnie's Surprise Party, which was a show dedicated to 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 in the new area. Although originally intended to be temporary, Mickey’s Birthdayland was so popular with gueststhat Disney decided to make the land permanent, renaming it 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 once temporary land was again re-themed. Now called Mickey's Toontown Fair, the new land took place in the fictional Toontown. Toontown was larger than Mickey's Birthdayland, although it did carry over the Mickey's house attraction. Added to Toontown were Donald's Boat, The Barnstormer at Goofy's Wiseacre Farm, and the Judges Tent where guests could meet various Disney characters. In 2011 Mickey's Toontown fair Fair was closed to make way for the Fantasyland Expansion. In 2012 Storybook Circus opened in the former location of Mickey's Toontown Fair. Included in the new area was the attractions: [[The Barnstormer Featuring Goofy as the Great Goofini]], a relocated [[Dumbo the Flying Elephant]] (now featuring a second set of Dumbos), the [[Casey Jr. Splash 'n' Soak Station]] and [[Pete's Silly Sideshow]]. In December of 2012 the rest of the Fantasyland Expansion opened to guests. This phase of the expansion included the attractions: [[Under the Sea: Voyage of the Little Mermaid]], [[Enchanted Tales with Belle]], and [[Ariel's Grotto]]. Lastly, on May 28, 2014 the final attraction in New Fantasyland, the [[Seven Dwarfs Mine Train]] officially opened to guests.
