  • As of 10:30AM PT, all accounts have been switched to "Restricted Secret Friends" access. Please change your settings in the Friends Panel in the game or in the Member Services area of the web site and report any problems you find.
  • We have added a setting to make the Secret Friends feature more customizable. A new "Restricted Secret Friends" setting will require the parent password each time a secret is generated or entered. During testing, settings may change from they were last set.
  • Some things you should know about this update:
    • Everyone who had Secret Friends enabled will automatically be switched to "Restricted Secret Friends" access.
    • Everyone will keep their existing Secret Friends UNLESS they change their access to "No Secret Friends."
    • To change your access at any time, please visit the Member Services area of Toontown.com or use the Friends Panel in the game. The parent password is required to change these settings.
