The news of the Fantasyland expansion was one of Disney’s worst kept secrets. For months before the official announcement, blue prints spread around the internet like wildfire. Some wrote it off as pure fantasy while everyone crossed their fingers that, even in part, it may actually come true.
Construction for the new area has now begun. Winnie the Pooh’s facade has started on its 100 Acre Wood update and Imagineers have moved in to the backstage area of Mickey’s Toontown Fair.
But, with all this excitment there was one thing that brought a twinge of sadness. Mickey and Minnie would have nowhere to live. It seems the Imagineers had placed foreclosure on their property and they were indeed going away. Ok, we know that the houses aren’t the world’s best attractions but there was something iconic about it. My wife even took so decorating tips from Mickey’s house!!!!!
So, I for one was pleased to hear that at the D23 celebration event held a few days ago in Fantasyland, Imagineers announced that Mickey and Minnie’s houses will not be going away entirely. Although they didn’t expand on any more information it seems that they will still have a prescence in the parks. Maybe the original house will stay, maybe they will officially marry and share a house or maybe they will get brand new houses within the park. We will wait to find out.
All we do know is that they must have kept up their mortgage payements, unless Pete has bailed them out and I very much doubt that!!!!
