There IS still a path, in fact, I can guarantee you have seen pictures taken FROM it, for it now contains a little outcropping where everyone shoots the "look back" shot of the train in the station. That end of it is now a bit closer to the tracks, running between them and the now moved queue to Goofy's Barnstormer, but the Toon Town decorating is all gone, so it will just be a quiet walk. There was a time when that path was so little known that I would nap there!
