Grandma Duck's Petting Farm was an attraction at the Mickey's Birthdayland/Starland of the Magic Kingdom at the Walt Disney World Resort. Based on the Duckburg location from the comics, it was a petting farm where from 1990, guests could meet Minnie Moo, a real-life Holstein cow with a patch that resembled a Hidden Mickey.
History[]
The Petting Farm opened with the rest of Mickey's Birthdayland on June 18, 1988. In 1990, the attraction gained the major addition of Minnie Moo once Disney purchased the cow from the family that owned it.
With the plans of Mickey's Starland to be transformed into Mickey's Toontown Fair in 1996, the area closed in March 1996 including the petting zoo. The barn was integrated into a new attraction - a junior roller coaster named The Barnstormer at Goofy's Wiseacre Farm.
Minnie Moo was moved to Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground and died from natural causes in 2001.
