- 2013: CLOSURE
- On August 20, 2013, Disney announced that after 10 years of operation, Disney's Toontown Online was being shut down. As soon as this announcement was made, every player was given membership for the remaining time of the game. As an effect, membership was no longer able to be purchased and players couldn't create new accounts. Fans desperately signed petitions to keep the game open, but Disney closed the game regardless. The game remained open for a month after the announcement, finally closing on September 19, 2013. Disney stated during a press release that their reasoning for closing the game was to shift their focus to Club Penguin as well as mobile applications. The website was updated with a FAQ after the game's closure to inform visitors of Toontown's discontinue.[10]
All players were disconnected at 3:33 Eastern Standard time, over half an hour after the site was updated to the "Closed" FAQ.
Jesse Schell(owner of Schell Games) could possibly buy the game back from Disney one day, but even if he doesn't he still has faith in Toontown and told the fans to keep the community alive.
After Toontown's closure, a team of members from TOONBOOK (a cross between Toontown and Facebook) started work on a remake of the game, called toontown rewritten Currently, the game is in alpha testing, with 300 testers.
