Hey there Andrea,
Welcome back to planDisney and thanks so much for your question. Your trip to the Disneyland Resort is coming up quickly - how exciting!
I have few fond memories of the days you mentioned in your question during the previous iteration of Mickey's Toontown. It was so fun getting to see all the characters together!
I had the opportunity earlier this year to visit
Mickey's Toontown during its official opening and then visited again recently with my son, and while we didn't see the initial character cavalcade at the gates, the land does now open at the same time as the rest of the park and the characters are typically spread out around Mickey's Toontown ready to greet guests.
We've seen Goofy outside his house, Donald and Daisy around
Cafe Daisy and
Donald's Duck Pond, Clarabelle near
Good Boy! Grocers, and - my personal favorite - Pete! We got to take a few photos with him in the green space area outside
Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin. In my opinion, Mickey's Toontown feels more alive and vibrant than ever, and there were pretty consistent character sightings throughout the day. You're going to love it!
I hope that's helpful, Andrea! Thank you again for your question and I hope you have a fantastic time on your upcoming trip to the Happiest Place on Earth.
Have a Magical Day,
Greg
