i haven't been in this section of the park since our son was young. It really has very little appeal to people without little ones but for familes with younger children it is a fantastic area of the magic kingdom. in the poll i voted in the skip the section category but I don't feel it is a waste of time (makes it sound so negative), it merely is geared for a specific age group & therefore is not that attractive to all parkgoers.
The theming is terrific, but there isn't anything to do (outside of Goofy's Barnstormer). Mickey and Minnie's country houses? There's nothing to do but walk through and look at the stuff on the walls. We did this once when the kids where little, and they were bored to death.

Pretty much only good for character meet and greets. Time for a huge change.

I feel kind of bad for this land in the voting considering I'm thinking most of us voting aren't in the demographic for the place. Buuuut that's really no excuse since there really shouldn't be a land in the MK aimed at a particular demographic...
I voted 0. The only time we got out there is to walk along the path between TL and ToonTown, because it's usually pretty quiet and there's nice trees and stuff to look at. We also had a really good photo session with Mickey on our honeymoon (cast member called out to us from the street and took us in the back door, jumping the hour-long line we wouldn't have stood in anyway
). That's about the only thing I ever remember doing out there, though.

I had to give it a 2. I still have two young ones (2 and 5) who would spend half a day there nonstop. The problem is, the spirit of Disney that captured the imaginations and hearts of people of all ages is nearly nonexistent here. This was a great addition for the wee ones, but adults have to join them and be bored to death the entire time!
Goofy's Barnstormer is the most redeeming quality to this area.

I enjoy Mickey's and Minnie's house. But once through them every trip is enough. The granddaughters enjoyed Goofy's Barnstormer and liked getting pictures and autographs. But they didn't want to spend a lot of time there. I would not be sad if it were replaced by a fantasyland attraction. I like the quiet walk from the train station to Space Mountain.
I gave it a "1" because not having children, this area doesn't offer me much. I walk through it once every other trip or so but most of the time I just forget it's there.

I agree with GhostHost. Having no kids either, Toon Town doesn't draw me much. Barnstormer is the greatest kid coaster and Mickey and Minnie's houses are cute, though.
