The biggest issue is just all the guests who want to be in the new land and experience all of the changes. It is still a rather small area, so even a modest amount of guests can make the area feel overcrowded. Stroller parking is also an issue, with cast members constantly trying to rearrange them to provide more space. In CenTOONial Park, there is also a lot of wear an tear on the new structures. - https://www.micechat.com/351579-disneyland-news-avengers-campus-construction-splash-mountain-retheme-toontown/ Magic Keyholders can pick up a great piece of artwork celebrating the reopening of Toontown. The artwork can be picked up on the Big Thunder Trail, just behind Big Thunder, and features Toontown with Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, Pluto and more enjoying the newly renovated land.
