Celebrating Five Years of Toontown Rewritten! | ToonFest 2018
Posted by The Toontown Team on September 19, 2018 at 2:00 PM
Five years ago on September 19, 2013, Toontown Online closed its doors. A message appeared on screen -- one that players normally would hope they would never see again, but in this instance wished they could see it just one more time. "Your internet connection to the servers has been unexpectedly broken."
Thankfully, we live in a world where that disconnect message was far from the last. Just seconds later, Toontown Rewritten was officially announced, and we now celebrate FIVE YEARS of a revival that has proven to be like no other!
By all circumstances, Toontown Rewritten shouldn't exist. It especially shouldn't have an annual convention, nearly two million registered accounts, and thousands of daily active players. The reality is: It does, and we never want to take that for granted.
That's why we're inviting you to jump into Toontown between now and October 20th to party with us in celebration of Toontown Rewritten's fifth anniversary. Today marks the beginning of our annual in-game event, ToonFest 2018!
To enter ToonFest, head over to the special event area in Chip and Dale's Acorn Acres or click on the red ToonFest teleport button on the top right of your screen. Here's just a few of the things to expect during this year's event:
Meet Riggy Marole
It's hard not to love Riggy Marole, the absolutely insane host of ToonFest who keeps things lively throughout the event. You can expect to see a blog post from him soon! In the meantime, he'll be strolling around ToonFest talking to Toons and generally being a bit of a rascally rabbit.
Earn Exclusive Prizes
One of the most exciting parts of ToonFest are glamorous Token Takers, located within the ToonFest tower and at pop-up booths around the area! These Token Takers will sell you all sorts of exclusive items, from limited time accessories to portable pies to experience multipliers! No matter what kind of Toon you are, we've got a bunch of prizes in store for you. Earn ToonFest tokens by playing minigames in the area, and keep your eyes peeled for new ways to earn as the event goes on!
Bigger and Better
ToonFest isn't just here for the weekend. We'll be partying all month long, and releasing updates and blog posts along the way to keep the fun going! Riggy Marole will be delivering you all of the latest ToonFest news, along with ways the event will get bigger and better as it has ever year!
Blast to the Past
To celebrate how far Toontown Rewritten has come in these five years, for the first time ever the Toontown Team will be hosting a special livestream to play a remastered and updated version of the "Toon Council Presidential Election" event, which was available at the end of Toontown Rewritten Alpha in 2014.
Due to technical limitations, this event will only be available to watch rather than play. However, if there's high demand after the livestream, we may rework this event to be playable by anyone in the future.
"TOON" in on September 29 at 1PM Toontown Time (PDT) to watch this live event with commentary from the Toontown Team! More details will be posted on the blog next week.
ToonFest is now available to play by visiting the special event area in Chip and Dale's Acorn Acres, or by clicking the red ToonFest teleport button located at the top right of your screen. Go enjoy the fun before it's gone!
Thank you all so much for FIVE YEARS of Toontown Rewritten!
You ARE Toon Enough!

Aaaaand a long 5 years it has been. Been here since the beginning and still 5 years running. Keep up the good work!
Okay, THIS IS EPIC.
I AM SO EXCITED! :D This is my first time attending a special event since I made my account, and I'm going to have a blast!!!
YEET
It gives me goosebumps knowing how much effort is given into the game! People don't appreciate this enough. *cough* Thank you Joey and the TTR Team *cough* See you at Toonfest!
Woah, this is exciting! Toonfest is really fun, but super laggy. :P also first
I love toonfest!
This is SO exciting!! Thank you so much for keeping my childhood alive and doing everything you do!! I appreciate the TTR team so very much~! <3 Happy ToonFest 2018 every-toon! ^_^
I think having the elections playable for everyone would be a great idea! It will give everyone a fair chance to experience it. Maybe the alpha attire can be re-released in celebration of this?
Wowza! More Stuff? Great! Can't Wait For Deers To Get All ToonFesty!
See yall at Toonfest but remember to get Toonfest Blue! It will really good on you!
TOONFEST TIME :D I love you guys so much for bringing back this game, thank you <3
Happy Anniversary, TTR! Here's hoping to another great year! Also, YES, DO make the 2014 elections event playable again! Make it a limited time thing if you have to, but I never got to experience it firsthand myself and would love to play it for real with other actual players, and not just simulate it offline.
This is PAWSOME! I love ToonFest!!!
ToonFest! I'm going there!
It almost feels like destiny that I found out about ToonBook only 2 months before TTO closed; I can't imagine growing up without playing this game. Happy birthday TTR!
I first started sixteen years ago back in 2002 Disney's Toontown Online BETA. I managed to max my toon, & when I heard the game was forever gone in 2013, it was heart breaking. Thanks to Toontown Rewritten & the staff, my nostalgic childhood was brought back, & enjoying the game I once knew even more. In regards to ToonFest 2018, I just used my tokens to buy the rare outfit for this year, & had a great time celebrating. Congratulations! on the five year legacy, now lets strive for 10! Keep up the great work, & let's keep this special game running.
OOO noice! :D
Can't believe its been 5 years I'm kinda shocked and I barley started playing back in late 2016 but keep up the good work!
5 years already????? Incredible. Thanks for bringing Toontown back! I'm so excited to participate in Toonfest!!!!
5 Years wow! Thank you Toontown Rewritten for the joy you have given millions of players! You guys are truly the best! Toontown for life!!!
Glad this celebration is a month long! I have barely been able to play with the amount of crashing that has been created today. Hopefully it will be better as time goes on! Thank you for the toonfest!
Been here from the start, Man.. Five years? Wow.
It has been 4 years since i made my own account, and I do not regret it.
Can’t wait!!!
Duck Tank is my favorite, they should introduce more multiplayer activities like that.
Happy 5 years TTR!
This was always my favorite childhood game. I used to beg my mom for ToonTown cards in like 2009. I woke up every morning to play if it wasn't a school game. I still my gamer friends about it today and it is still fun. If I get rich I will invest money and market this game. :D
I'm glad i been playing for five this is my first favorite game to play glad u doing a fantastic job
I will be glad to watch doomsday over again and see how much is changed for this legendary end of alpha and see how TTR and TTO has grown all over the years. Happy 5th anniversary and i hope ill make it to watch the livestream. Mister Hazel
AWESOME! Can't wait to play! For 5 years! WHO IS WITH ME?!
I remember my first Toonfest. Had no clue what it was until a few days after it ended. Still got some prizes though. Toonfest isn't working for me this year though. Every time I go in I walk around for a few seconds and it force quits. Hopefully it will be fixed before Toonfest its over!
Very glad the boosts have returned again! Thanks for keeping the game alive :)
Yes, I would LOVE to be able to play the election event!!! I didn't get a chance to in 2014 and I feel like I really missed out :( I'm so happy you're bringing it back!
I LOVE THIS GAME AND I LOVE TOONFEST! I just don't love the lag so much... was in the least full server of 46 toons total and lag was still a big drag. But I love the way it's been set up and THE XP MULTIPLIERS!!! Especially merit/buck/jury/stock multipliers! Nobody likes grinding max 'merits'. This should help a tOON! ( ahem) I mean, a ton!
Heck yes! Would LOVE to enjoy Toonfest this year!!!!!! If I ever stop crashing.
Wow, toons! Great moves. Keep it up. Proud of you.
AA!!! this is my first ever toonfest and it's been a blast! I absolutely love it
5 years... 5 YEARS
5 years went by so fast! I've been playing since June 2014 and following TTR News soon after I found out about TTO's closure. Thank you all so much for Toontown Rewritten!!! We love you all. -Shortest, Fattest Mouse in Town
I hope TTR stays running for a very long time for the next generation! Keep it up.
Oh wow I couldn't imagine how fast this community grew up! Amazing job team!
Id NEVER thought that toontown rewritten would be around long enough for 5 YEARS! i am SO glad i was wrong! the community, the staff, the EVERYONE has made this game the best it can be! i would say something philosophical or whatever about rebirth.... BUT WHO HAS TIME FOR THAT!? LETS PARTY!!!!!
This ToonFest event is great! A fun cannon to use, prizes, a trampoline, (Which unfortunately does not work. :( ) and hopefully even more great things to come!
Love all the new content ;-)
My first toonfest ever... and i hope the TCPE will be avaible again.
i say yes to the doomsday playable thing!
OMG!!! 5 years and I have to give credit to you guys. please also think about letting us toons play the doomsday stream. Other then that. Happy 5th Birthday Toontown Rewritten
oh my goshhhhhhhhh this is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
5 years already?! It feels like it was only yesterday when I received my beta key and now here we are today, open for all! Happy fifth birthday and here's to many more! :)
I still remember when toontown shut down as a game and I was crying. Now here is toontown rewritten, it's all free, and I could actually get out of toontown central!
I've been waiting all morning for this post! So excited for Toonfest this year! I really hope the elections will be available for play, since I joined a little after closed beta began. Happy Five Years!
Over 9 years memories of Toontown, from Toontown online to rewritten to other creations. It is such a beautiful thing to see the game live on like this.
The best times of my gaming and the gaming community has somewhat been here. I have always been happy to be apart of this amazing community; cheers to 5 years! May it last another 5 years!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let us play the alpha election!!! I didnt even know TTR existed when it was held!!!
I may not play this as much as I used to, but thank you so much for 5 great years. This game has completely changed my life in so many ways. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!
It was 5 years ago today I joined! 9/20/14 at 10:29 AM!? I can not believe it has been 5 years! Time has gone by really fast, It is amazing. Thank you TTR Team for everything you have done for all of us! I have been here from the very beginning, and I will be for quite some time. I thank you all very much for creating this amazing community with awesome people! <3

Time flies, doesn't it? Thank you so much for bringing back one of my greatest childhood memories.

5 years!!! Been here since Beta and this game has come a LONG way since then. So proud of the TTR staff! Appreciate all the hard work they have put in the past years! Paws to the sky and Toon on! Right MEOW!
i have only played for a year and i still kinda like the game
I am so glad I found this; I had no idea toontown rewritten was announced after toontown online's closure, so I quit playing. I missed my old game so much I did a random search yesterday and found you guys! I don't know how you run without paid subscriptions (?) but i'm so excited to be playing my old game again; even if i'm starting from scratch :)
#TTR5YEARS
this is the best
5 years of Toontown Rewritten already? Wow, time really does fly when you're having fun. Anyway, I hope to see you all there!
Hard to believe its been 5 years. you are doing a great job.
Nice! Go toonfest !
I am a former long term subscriber of the original game. I can still remember my two young daughters showing me this game in the early 2000s like it was yesterday. We played on 2 accounts. An interesting story was that we met what would be their future "sister" through this game and we will be meeting her at Disney in a few weeks...A million thanks to the dedicated team of coders, developers, application and infrastructure teams that make this possible! Thank you for making this world a little more enjoyable. Grace and Peace to you all from God The Father and Our Lord Jesus Christ!
I really wanna do this. Why can't we do it?
ToonFest is so FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ToonFest, huh? Violet and Dash told me they're having fun in ToonFest. I should join in ToonFest. It seems INCREDIBLE!
I love ToonFest!
I love this game SO much! I have been playing since the very beginning! does anyone else feel old?
Wow! This is the first time I've been around to be able to make it for Toonfest, though technically I had an account all 5 years. I love the events and the accessories! The experience multipliers also helped me max sound on my deer. :D
(hi madi) but im so excited for this!
Wowza! Toonfest Blue is absolutely Toontastic! Riggy Marole says it looks good on me. Yet another month to go! Can't wait for more prizes!
wow I joined pretty recently and had no idea this game was such a big deal.
I became really inactive during last years toonfest, imagine if I get really active this time!
Woah 5 years, another ToonFest, time is flying by!
