User blog comment:Sir Clint The Tryhard/Toontown is officially closing/@comment-4315813-20130822022251

This is why they are closing it:

"The Walt Disney Company is committed to offering high-quality, entertaining play experiences in both online virtual worlds and mobile apps. At this time, we are shifting our development focus towards other online and mobile play experiences, and a growing selection of Disney Mobile apps. We deeply appreciate your enthusiasm and loyal support for Toontown Online and sincerely hope you will continue to enjoy the large variety of online and mobile play experiences Disney offers - with more to come soon!"

I never even had one of the Disney Apps in my lifetime (I don't pay for mobile apps, plus most of those are Iphone exclusive, and I have Android), and CP is just a cashcow that wants you to pay just to get the cool stuff (Toontown did that too, but the free play was still good on its own). I may come back to CP, though Toontown still comes up as one of the best online experencies I had.
