Disney's Toontown Online was an MMORPG developed by Disney Interactive and Schell Games. It was targeted towards kids and families, which focused on taking the role of a Toon that fought evil business robots with the use of silly gags. Even though the servers were shut down on September 19, 2013, it still manages to have a following as numerous unofficial fan revivals exist, along with the developers being surprisingly open to talking about some scrapped concepts and unused content contained within its files.
This article covers from the initial 2003 release to the final version of the game (sv1.0.47.32) before it's closure. Beta 1-3 releases are covered in their respective Prototype sections. Ajax download for mac.

Original Storyline Video
The original Flash launcher displayed a video while the game was being downloaded. It involved Scrooge McDuck trying to repair the robot found in Gyro Gearloose's lab in order to make money, but after accidentally crossing the two wires, the robot turns evil and goes on to create the Cogs using another machine found in the laboratory. The video was later removed with newer versions of the launcher, but it still could be watched from the UK website for a while.
Sadly, a usable version of the Flash launcher as we know it is no longer on the internet, or so we thought. The 3 .swf files for this Flash launcher have been found but can't be displayed here due to compatibility issues.
Removed Minigames
On the Toontown Test Server, the assets for three new board games were added to the Chip 'n Dale's Acorn Acres neighborhood.
Originally, players could walk up to one of the picnic tables scattered around the area and play a minigame with another. Chinese Checkers was the only playable game on the test server. None of these games were ever fully implemented into the public build of the game, although the models and graphics can still be found in the phase_6 archive of the original game's files.

Unused Text
news_index.txt
This text is found in the phase_3.5/models/news/ directory and doesn't have any real in-game purpose. Supposedly, it was to help the developers to find the news folder.
Missing Key Sanity Check
According to comments in the file this is located in, TTLocalizerEnglish.py, this string of text is to ensure that some sort of language checker works.
Cog Invasion Updates
Two lines of text to be used when a Cog Invasion reached a certain point.
SuitFaceOffDefaultTaunts
A placeholder starting battle phrase for the Cogs; as every Cog has its own defined set of taunts, this goes unused.
Pie Toss Game
Text for an unused Pie Toss minigame. Based off the description, it would've involved throwing pies at targets, as per Toontown tradition.
Unused Location Names
Each of these were intended to be used for location-related phrases, such as the 'Places' set of SpeedChat phrases. Preceding the names are various prepositions.
The street where the Toontorial takes place. Further evidenced by NPC Tutorial Tom being under the zone ID of 20000.
A reference to the scrapped Funny Farm playground.

- The Castilian, French, Japanese and Portugese versions bumped up the round time in battles from 20 to 50 seconds.
Oddities
To do: There's a ton more.

Obscured Neighborhood Map
To do: Upload the other two graphics. |
In earlier versions of the game, the map of the neighborhood was considerably different without the clouds covering up the then-unrevealed locations. The location for the scrapped Construction Zone area was originally edited over with unseen green fields and trees until it was changed to a blurred-out area in sv1.0.9.12, to match up with the overhauled Toontown Central map.

Toontown Disney Online Game Cogs
This infamous tunnel in Chip 'n Dale's Acorn Acres was always under construction, and was never opened at all during the game's span. At a Q&A during the fan-organized 2016 ToonFest Event, Jesse Schell, Toontown Online's director, Stated that the tunnel had no purpose, and was there if the development team wanted to create a new area they hadn't thought of yet.
Some time after the tunnel was released, an article was published to Toontown Brazil's website stating that behind the tunnel 'were no Cogs'.
Hidden Moon Under Estates
Ever since Estates were released on the Test Server, an upside-down moon could be seen if a Toon swam inside and clipped into the river tunnel. It was assumed that a day-night feature for the Estate was considered, as the sun seen at the top is a separate texture.
Toontown Disney Online Game
Filename Oddities
- All instances of Cogs are referred to as 'suits' in the game files. Those were the original name for Cogs before they got changed.
- The music for the Toon Slingshot and Treasure Dive trolley games were switched at one point, as evidenced by Treasure Dive's music internally referred to as MG_Target and Toon Slingshot's music referred to as MG_Diving in phase_4.
- The sound effects for the Storm Cloud gag () classify it as Throw-type, when it is actually a Squirt Gag. It was most likely switched by accident.
Undefined Cog Attack Phrases
The Cog attacks Fill With Lead and Double Talk do not have any battle phrases defined, and instead use the default phrase of 'Take a memo on this!'

Disney Online announced Tuesday that its massively multiplayer online (MMO) game Toontown Online is now available for the Macintosh. Toontown Online is an MMO aimed at kids and their families — you create a cartoon character and interact with other players online. Toontown Online costs $9.95 per month, and a 3-day trial version is available for download (it requires no credit card to activate).
Toontown Online is a 3D world inhabited by cartoon characters — Toons — that look they’ve come out of Disney’s classic Mickey Mouse animation. Toontown has been invaded by Cogs — humorless business robots who are bent on turning the world of Toontown into a corporate metropolis. Easycap capture software. Cogs can’t take a joke, so it’s the Toons’ job to play pranks on them (“gags”) like spraying seltzer in their faces or hitting them with pies.
As players succeed against the Cogs, they gain access to a new arsenal fo gags — everything from a Wedding Cake Throw to an Ocean Liner drop, an Opera Voice sound gag and more. The world of Toontown Online features an elaborate map filled with new places to explore and visit, and lots of other toons — both players and non-player characters — to interact with.
Toontown Online is non-violent and made especially for kids and families — it’s rated E for Everyone by the ESRB. The price of membership includes up to six separate “Toon” accounts.
Up to now, Mac users haven’t had access to Toontown Online — it’s been for PC users only. System requirements call for a 450MHz or faster PowerPC-based Mac or any Intel-based Mac, 256MB RAM, 300MB hard disk space, 32MB graphics system, 56K or faster Internet connection, Mac OS X v10.4 or later and Safari.
Price breaks are available to users who purchase the game in six or 12 month subscriptions (six months for $49.95 or 12 months for $79.95).
