Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway will be opening ahead of the reopening of Mickey’s Toontown next spring at Disneyland. The announcement was made with several other announcements about the Disney100 celebration at the Disneyland Resort. This included decorations, nighttime spectaculars, Disney character costumes, merchandise, and more!
While Mickey’s Toontown is set to reopen in the spring of 2023. It was announced the Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway will be opening before the land does. This new attraction for the Disneyland Resort will be opening as Disneyland kicks off its Disney100 celebration on January 27, 2023. This version of the attraction will be very similar but different to the one already open at Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World Resort. However, there will be differences.
In a recent interview with the OC Register, Disneyland Resort President Ken Potrock shared about the attraction and also Mickey’s Toontown.
“We’re working really hard on making Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway a fabulous attraction.” Potrock shared. “It’s in Florida already and it’s going to be even better here because it has some enhancements that Florida doesn’t have.”
On Mickey’s Toontown getting refurbished Potrock said, “Looking at that land as an opportunity to really improve upon the experience for families with younger kids is a big objective of ours. It’s going to become much more interactive. It’s going to have much more park space to picnic, sit in the grass and for kids to run around. That’s going to be a really special place for us here at the resort.”
