Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway opens at Disneyland on January 27, 2023. This will not only be the opening day for this first attraction at Disneyland Resort devoted solely to Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, it will also be the first day of the Disney100 celebration at the Disneyland Resort. When opened, guests will be able to enter the world of cartoons with Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and other Disney pals.
When it opens at Disneyland, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway will be utilizing a virtual queue. This is a complimentary offering that is accessed through the Disneyland app. It will also be the only way for guests to experience the ride as no standby queue will be available. There will be two chances for guests to enter the virtual queue at Disneyland. They will be at 7:00 AM PT and then a second chance at 1:00 PM PT.
There will be an opportunity to connect a group together ahead of each virtual queue window.
Later after receiving a boarding group via the virtual queue, a notification will appear on the Disneyland app with a return window for guests to experience the attraction. Guests can only join the virtual queue once a day.
Along with the virtual queue, the opportunity will be available to purchase an individual Lighting Lane arrival window for the attraction. For both the virtual queue and the individual Lightning Lane, there will be limited availability. If availability runs out, please be patient with cast members. They simply are there to help people have a magical day and are not in control of the virtual queue or individual Lightning Lane.
This attraction will be different than the version at Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World Resort. First off, guests will enter through the El CapiTOON Theater at Disneyland. Once inside the theater, guests will get to experience a unique exhibit that is unique to the Disneyland version of the attraction. Following the exhibit experience, guests will then be boarding a train with Goofy as the engineer. Guests will then find themselves on an adventure in the cartoon world of Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse and pals.
Here is the official information about Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway:
