We've put up a photo essay of Goofy's Playhouse, the new play area for young kids in Toontown. Here's the link:

Having never been inside Goofy's Bounce House, is that the way it looked before the refurb or were those decorations recently added?

Love those pics!!!
I'd love to get a copy of the popcorn pic if you could part with it! I have a bunch of pics of cool Toontown stuff in my scrapbook.
Thank you so much for that!

I never spent any time at Goofy's Bounce House, so apologies that I can't answer your question.

If it's just for your personal collection, you're welcome to just take it from the site.

From what I saw when I took my nephew there when Toontown first opened, I would say yes. The big changes were the removal of the air inflated floor inside Goofy's house (insurance reasons I highly suspect

) and the outside play area additions.

As a side note, you may have noticed the "Jack"- O - lantern in the garden. That was a retirement homage to Jack Lindquist, a long time Disneyland exec. I very cool looking likeness of him.

Me neither. The CM said something about me not being a kid and being too old to let in. Sheesh.

I only went in Goofy's Bounce House ONCE, and the results ended up on the nightly news...

It looks very nice but I just don't get the whole concept. I mean I'm not taking my kid to Disneyland just so they can go down a little slide that I could put in my own backyard.

My other issue with the whole thing is Walt's original belief that the park should be a family group experience with the parents enjoying the rides just as much as the kids. Toontown, to me, misses this whole idea.

Well at least it looks nicer.

Having been at Disneyland with a todler, it's nice to have a place for them to get out of the stroller for a bit and run around. The area wasn't being used for anything else anyway. Originally there was the same sort of play area around the tree to the left of Goofy's house (if you're standing facing the house). It was only there the first year or so I think.
