“I have a fondness for Toontown because we are the same age – Toontown opened in 1993 and I was born that same year, so we are both ’93 babies!” says Entertainment Costuming cast member Kayley Hamilton. “I loved recreating this childhood photo of myself from 1999. Check out Dot from ‘A Bug’s Life’ in my jacket pocket!”
