Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway

This is one of my many favorite rides at Disneyland! It brings back so many nostalgic memories. I especially love all the props you get to see while going through the line, they really set the mood. The wait wasn’t too long, but even if it had been, the wait is entertaining enough on its own. If you’re visiting Disneyland, this ride is definitely a must!

Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway is easily one of my favorite rides at Disneyland and truly one of the best! Every scene and motion they take you through is so unique and creative, making it a ride like no other. One of the things I love most is how interactive it is—you really feel like you’re stepping right into Mickey’s world! The animation, the effects, and the smooth ride experience make it fun for all ages, and there’s always something new to notice each time you ride. If you’re at Disneyland, this is an absolute must-do!

This one is incredible. The queue for this one is really special, and is one of the better of the newer attractions at Disneyland. It’s fun, quirky, and the technology they use is really cool! It’s an all time favorite and is great for all ages!

A very innovative experience. Disney does a great job in making your time in the line up feel a part of the ride. We headed straight to the ride to avoid the lines and we were one of the first few to get on the ride. It is one of those rides where you will want to get the lightning lane or you may be waiting awhile.

What a fantastic ride. Last night was my first time on the ride and I have to say it was really amazing and super cute. I love how high tech the entire ride is. The trackless rides are so smooth and seamless. The visuals on this ride are so cool. The lines can get extremely long and so if you can afford getting a genie Plus for the day I would highly recommend doing that in order to get on this ride.

This is in my top 5 Disney rides as an updated and more technologically advanced fantasy land story ride. Love the variety of sets and the use of the nostalgic/self aware animation style. Cute and bubbly and fun. Accessibility: Dark and some scares (Adults and anyone can enjoy anything) Prime attraction appeal age range: 3-♾️years.

The hard work Disney Imagineers put into creating this attraction is abundantly clear, it’s incredible. The queue is like a ride in and of itself; it’s quirky fun perfection! There are multiple elements, such as poster parodies of classic Disney films, “props” from Fantasia, and Pluto’s Christmas Tree (a favorite short of mine as a kid). The cinema concession is a show-stopping photo op. The queue keeps you entertained, so if your wait happens to be lengthy, enjoy the queue! *No spoilers. The pre-show was incredible, especially the first time. Cast Members did a great job interacting with characters on-screen to immerse you with what’s to come. Things happened during this pre-show I’d never seen before, and kept me wondering how they did it. This is an all ages friendly ride. Good luck not getting the song stuck in your head, but at least it’s not It’s A Small World! Our first ride through was perfect, then on the second, Daisy’s face projection malfunctioned, which was funny to see in-person and not on YouTube. I don’t love that Disney started to using projections; personally, I don’t find it as engaging as animatronics. Overall, I may have enjoyed the queue more than the ride. I did get slightly motion sick during parts of this ride since it’s screen-heavy, so other sufferers out there, be warned! Wait times were all over the place. We got to walk-on several times, but the ride would go down and it bumped as high as 60min. If you get the opportunity to ride this attraction, be sure to do so!

One of the cutest Disney attractions ever built in my opinion. The line for this attraction is beautiful full of tons of details from many Mickey Mouse shorts and things from his past. Overall the ride is perfect for the entire family. If your a Mickey Mouse fan this attraction is definitely not to be missed.

Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Train ride is really fun for everyone. If you like the recent cartoon shorts with the cutesy art style, this ride flows from them. The entrance is movie theatre themed with posters for the various shorts that have come out and a snack bar with cartoonish size snacks. The ride uses large cars that break away and move around the floor on invisible tracks, depending on where you sit, you experience it slightly different so riding it a couple times doesn't get boring. Goofy drives the train so of course it's gonna get crazy!!! Fun for all ages, funny, exciting, and great for the kids.

I honestly would give this ride a much higher rating if it wasn't always breaking down. I don't have a Magic Key so I only get to the park maybe once a year. With that said, it took over 3 trips for me to be able to get on this ride. The lines were either incredibly long & then the ride broke down so they forced everyone to leave, or it was just straight up broken. If you're hoping to get on this ride, get the Disneyland app and just keep an eye out on it to make sure you don't venture all the way over to Toontown only to find out it's down. With that said, when you do get on the ride, it's an absolute blast! I love that it starts out with you actually walking 'into the cartoon world' via a film screen. From that point on, the theming is great. You genuinely feel like you are inside of a Mickey cartoon. They also don't tone down this ride. It's wild. You are constantly spinning around and darting to various areas of the ride. And because it is a trackless ride system, there's really no way of knowing where you are going to go next. It's just a crazy, wild, intense ride. And I loved every second of it. So, in all, this is an A+ ride. I do genuinely recommend it. However, until they can figure out a way to keep it from breaking down so much, I am very hesitant to give it a higher rating. The ride (or lack there of) has definitely given me more disappointment than joy over these past few years.

Every time I come to Disneyland I have to go on this ride. One of the best decorations in the queue. I wish this ride don't break down as much. It's a track less ride so it's understandable.

First time on this ride. The lines are usually long but luckily today only a 5 minute wait. What can I say so much fun. So much to see. Definitely a do over.

Song Of The Review: Nothing Can Stop Us Now Mickey: Nothing can stop us now, I'll tell you how We're gonna make it happen So let's take a ride, and spend a day in the countryside Minnie: Good times are here to stay... Pluto: Ruff! Minnie: Let's get away, and have a perfect picnic We'll sing a song, and absolutely nothing will go wrong Pluto: Arf? Mickey and Minnie: Now we're heading down the open highway And we're glad you're going my way, everything is just so peachy keen (instrumental) Nothing can stop us now, I don't know how It can be any better, we'll travel hand in hand across this wonderland Strike up the marching band, 'cause nothing can stop us now! (Chorus) Nothing can stop us now! Reprise (Finale) Lyrics Mickey: Nothing can stop us now! I knew somehow... Pluto: Ruff! Mickey: That we would finely make it. Mickey and Minnie: We've had one crazy ride, but with you by my side, The stars will be our guide and nothing can stop us now. Chorus: The stars will be our guide and nothing can stop us now! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Location: Located in Mickey's Toon Town. Just look for a building that has a vertical sign that says "El Capitoon". Ambiance/Decor: Pretty cool theatre/museum feel. You won't get bored while waiting in the line, because there is so many props to look at. Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway For Thought: One of my favorite rides to go. It's trackless so it makes the riding experience less predictable and more engaging.

Such a fun ride. The wait time posted was 45 minutes but we waited about 35 minutes in total. Line moves fairly quickly and there is so much to see as you walk through the cue. Be careful though, the them song is an ear worm and you'll be singing it all day!!! But it's not a bad thing

I did not know what to expect with this rice located at Toontown! The theme is mixed. You think you're going to a movie theater. You start off in a movie theater. The surprise is you end up on a ride. The ride is very similar to Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. There were no real tracks on this ride. It was fun!

Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway ride is one of my favorite rides at Disney World Hollywood Studios! I am so glad I finally had a chance to ride the Disneyland Version while visiting for the Halloween Half Marathon weekend! Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway is located in Mickey's ToonTown. It's right next to the Engineer Store and Roger Rabbit's Ride! Lightning Lane is available for Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway. It did break down several times while we visited Disneyland twice. Luckily, the Disneyland application provided us with a multi-experience lightning lane that we could re-use on the ride once it was up and operational! Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway wait line queue is one of the best that Disneyland has designed! It's so much fun and there's a wide range of decorations! It's so bright and colorful inside! Some of the highest wait times in the standby line we saw for the ride was around 40 minutes! Once you go through the queue, you'll be directed to stand in a separate row and enter the theater. You'll watch a short clip of Mickey, Minnie, and Goofy on the Train as the conductor! After watching a short clip, you'll enter another queue area and then you'll hop on the train! There are multiple rows that you can sit in. The ride is pretty high tech! The train will separate out. It reminds me of the Ratatouille ride in Disney World where it transitions from room to room! There is even a 3D section of the ride where you're going down a waterfall! It's also on a trackless system. This is one of my favorite rides at Disneyland and Disney World. I love the theme song of the ride and it's just so much fun! This is a must ride if you're visiting Disneyland for the first time!

This ride is SO CUTE! It's one of my favorites at the park. The ride is trackless so you're moving in many different directions. It's super fun for the entire family. You'll have the theme song stuck in your head for days after lol The lobby/queue is set up like a movie theater. It's filled with tons of Mickey & Minnie memorabilia. Definitely makes waiting in line a little less boring!

I finally had a chance to check out Mickey's & Minnie's Runaway Railroad on my most recent trip to Disneyland. Mickey's Toontown has been around since the late 80's and needed a new ride. Plus it is nice to see Disney create a ride based off their most iconic character. I love seeing all the posters and props at the beginning of the ride that showcase some of the old classic Disney movies and cartoons from over the years. As much as I love the new stuff, I am still a big fan of classic Disney movies. The ride is fun and wacky. It is mostly geared towards kids, but adults will enjoy it too. You are basically transported into a Mickey Mouse cartoon on a train driven by Goofy. There are appearances from many classic characters on the ride.

I just find it so amazing that I've lived in California for so long and yet I still haven't been on all the rides at Disneyland. On this day, this was my favorite ride of the day. I mean all of these rides are kind of like being in a cartoon, but none of them as much as this. I love the ballet lesson. It's quite extreme for a little ride. It's just really made me happy.

Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway is our favorite ride in Disneyland since they opened back in January of 2023. It's such a whirlwind fun ride full of unexpected twists and revelations. This ride is for all ages to enjoy. We would normally go on this ride several times during our visit. In the morning and at night. Depending on the day and time, the line for this lines goes fast. We've learned over the years to visit Disneyland and Disney California Adventure on weekdays and to try avoid going on weekends due to congestion of the crowd. This week's visit took place on a Wednesday. It was definitely not as busy as how it's gets packed on a weekend especially during summer. Can't wait to come back in October for all their Halloween decorations and goodies.

This really is the best ride at Disneyland. If there's a bar for perfection, this ride is it. We got lucky when we went because we walked right in. I saw later that the wait times were like 40 minutes and I get it! I'd wait 40 minutes to go on this ride too. This ride is the definition of Disney.

The imagination put into this ride is over the top. They really put a lot of thought into this ride to make it unique. However, my friend told me that the song they play/sing in here would be stuck in my head for the rest of the day...he was wrong. I can't remember what even the song was, especially since It's a Small World was stuck in my head before even entering the park. Most ride lines are boring to go through, but this one draws you in and has so much at work that you can't be bored. A highlight of the entry is the screen show that gives you a synopsis of what is about to happen. What is so interesting about it is how they make it part of the show and, in the end, the entrance to the ride. How they did that, I have no idea. But for it to integrate in that way, really makes you feel like you are part of the ride. The ride itself is a fun assault on your body/senses. The trackless ride at times feels like a synchronized dance with the cars. That song, which I am still trying hard to even remember the name, playing throughout. Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Pluto, Daisy, Goofy all there pulling you in every direction to keep you going. I'm not even sure I remember how the ride ended because I was so confused by what was going on. What I do remember is that when we were done having our cars being thrown about the car I was in was directly behind the engine. So crazy that you don't necessarily end up where you started on this ride.

My absolute favorite attraction! This ride simply surprised me. I was able to go on 2 times. Sure one of the most visually stimulating rides at Disneyland. I was able to go during the weekday so I didn't experience a long wait. I probably was in line for about 15 minutes. While waiting in line there are lot cool figures to admire and wonder more about. You'll forget you're even in line because Disney had a way of keep their consumer engaged from start to finish! If you're planning to visit the park make this ride your number one stop.

One of my favorite rides in the park! This was such a great addition to Toontown. The setup is adorable. The ride itself is pretty much identical to the one in Walt Disney World, but the line is so much cooler. The inside of the building looks like a movie theater. I appreciate that the wait time seems to go very fast because there is always so much to look at while in line. The animation inside of the ride is incredible. Definitely a must- see on a trip to Disney!

I have never been so immersed in a ride before this lil' ride here. Their faces look so darn good on the characters throughout the ride; looks like they use projectors but it looks like they're really there! Even the dang leaves and lampposts keep me wowed! The queue is so fantastic and all the movie poster spoofs are so fun to analyze. Perfect ride.

In honor of Disney100, this attraction opened in the beginning of 2023 as part of the revitalization of Toon Town. This attraction is similar to Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance in ride vehicles and how it operates. This can present a problem as it does go down often needing a system reboot. Though this can occur, I definitely say this attraction is worth it if you make your way back to Toon Town. Be advised it is FILLED with kids, so if you are a Disney Adult who doesn't like to be bombarded by strollers or lots of kiddos then I would skip during busier times. This attraction does have a lightening lane option if you wish to utilize to decrease wait time.

Mickey & Minie's Runaway Railroad was first introduced at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Florida. There, the ride replaced The Great Movie Ride. The replacement still pays homage to the Hollywood of yesteryear. This is especially true in the ride que. Que is designed to look like the lobby of an old movie theater. The lobby is jam-packed with movie memorabilia if Mickey and his friends had been stars in classic films. We were lucky enough to only experience about a 10 minute wait. I was happy to have a bit of a wait, as it allowed us to look at the ride que decor. Ride itself is a runaway train with Goody at the wheel. Riders travel through silly scenes featuring Mickey and friends. The ride is fast-paced, but not too fast for young riders. This is Toontown, after all. It's a fun ride to enjoy with or without children.

It's new and trackless! I think it's run by magnets as we can be swirled forward and backwards. It's a really cute ride. My favorite part was Daisy Duck's zumba dance instructions, she was so extra! The details inside the El Capitoon theater was amazing, it will entertain the kids as you wait in a very long line but worth it

Nothing can stop us now! Had the pleasure of riding this in DHS before it came to dland. It was one of my favorites in Florida. Located in Toon Town. Lines are always pretty long. It does break down more then it should. Be ready for lines on lines on lines before the actual ride. The decor is awesome when you are waiting. Way better then DHS. Once you get through the long line, you wait in the movie line. The movie is a throwback show. Then the awesome entrance to the ride line. Then the fun begins! It is the Rise of the kiddo rides. The story and magnet movements are awesome. We ride this at least once a visit!

Finally got to try this ride and it was SO CUTE!! I loved it so much! It's a trackless ride so the cars are moving and turning around seamlessly and Mickey and Minnie's characters are really showcased on this attraction. I'm so sad I only got to ride this once and would make this a staple for all future trips to Disneyland.

Finally a Mickey & Minnie ride!! This ride is so cute and full of surprises! Best part it won't give you motion sickness. It was actually a lot more fun than what I was expecting! Very bright, colorful and really high definition. It's a ride for the whole family which was also nice. The only downside is that it seems as if it brakes down a lot. As soon as we walked in to the park the first thing we wanted to ride was this ride and it was not working until some hours later. But I did love the ride, so I would of course go on it again.

The app said the wait was 20 minutes, so we hoofed it over to get in line. While we were queued up, they made an announcement about checking the app, as the time had increased from 20 to 45 minutes for those just getting in. New rides and attractions will do that, I suppose. As excited as I was to experience this, I was even more excited to see all the decorations and exhibits in the queue leading up to the ride itself. And should I refer to this as a "ride"? I don't think so, but I don't know what else to call it. Anyway, Disney did not disappoint with the queue. Knowing guests will be stuck in that line for minutes on end, they packed it full of fun, cute, clever and nostalgia-inducing memorabilia to keep their fans entertained. I took way too many pictures, which I'll refrain from dropping into this post. Once we got into the part where the experience actually starts, things went a little wonky for me. Don't get me wrong - overall, I enjoyed it, especially the start. But, I hated the way they drew Goofy. Very specific, but the Ren & Stimpy style art that changed the way Goofy looked didn't sit right with me. My biggest gripe, though, was with how Mickey and Minnie treated Pluto throughout. YES, I'm angry at fictional mouse figures for the way they abused their cartoon dog. So sue me. But y'all, it happened throughout the experience! Poor Pluto is kicked, shoved, stuffed into a trunk and all but abandoned the entire time. It made me angry and sad at once. Beyond that, there's just SO MUCH happening all around - in front, behind, to the right, left and above you - that it's too much to take in. I can see why people have to go through this multiple times, in order to make it all make sense. On your first time through, it's a cacophony of noise, an explosion of visuals and a smothering of color.

This is such a fun new ride in Disneyland in the newly re-opened Toon Town! Really adored the whole experience, from the items and visual spectacle that keep you entertained and immersed along the queue, to the theater where you watch a short movie that serves as an intro to the ride. As you walk through the queue, there are posters that parody many movies, such as The Parent Trap, Freaky Friday, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989), and Hocus Pocus (1993). Once you're in the theater, you watch a really entertaining short of Mickey, Minnie, and Pluto going out for a picnic while they sing "Nothing Can Stop Us Now" (which is insanely catchy, it rivals "It's a Small World" in terms of annoyingly catchy, it was stuck in my head all day long). The movie ends with Goofy literally breaking the fourth wall, and offering us to take a ride on the train. I love how the ride makes you feel immersed in Mickey and Minnie's world. No 3D glasses needed here! A fun fact is that the ride features a new technology known as "2 and 1⁄2 D" (3D without glasses) to give depth to the 2D environments, which I think is such a beautiful blend of art and technology. If you sit towards the front of the train, you'll also be able to watch Goofy and his shenanigans. So fun and smooth. Highly recommend this ride!

The best ride! It's so cute and so fun! I love the pre-ride show they have. They offer lightning lane and no extra charge which is super convenient. Be mindful that Toon Town closes early! I think at 8 p.m. and reopens after the fireworks!

Fantastic ride for the whole family. This ride is so imaginative and entertaining. Located in Toontown, it's one of the first rides you will see when you walk in. I waited an hour in the regular line, but there are so many things to see. That keeps you entertained the whole time. It's got some great Mickey memorabilia and immersive dance music to make the line seem like it's going faster. My cell signal was really sparse in the line, so keep that in mind if you need to make calls or contact family. Once I got to the ride, the vehicle is like a train. Everyone boards the train, and then when a fiasco hits... the train cars separate and put you in a whirlwind adventure. The music was enjoyable throughout the ride. I love the effects and Easter eggs that are hidden throughout. It was almost sad for the ride to end. But it was a happy ending for our main characters, Mickey and Minnie. This is definitely a ride you should check out!

I am so in love with this ride! I adored it when it opened at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Orlando, and I am thrilled that we now have the ride out here in the West. It's the new marquee ride at Toontown in Disneyland, and there never seems to be a huge line for it (which I think is because the ride vehicles can handle a lot of people at once, which makes it easier to handle the crowds). This is one ride where the queue area is almost as good as the attraction! There are giant "props" from Mickey's most famous movies, including the "beanstalk" from Jack and the Beanstalk and the ship's wheel from Steamboat Willie. The best part are the vintage cartoon movie posters and a "concession" stand with some really funny fake food dispensers (including one for Haggis)! There's a short animated film preshow that's delightful and sets the story for the ride to follow. This isn't a train with tracks, it works like the Rise of the Resistance ride, with ride vehicles that move independently. Depending on where you sit, your ride will be different. Ride it more than once to get a different vantage point. You never know where your particular section of the ride vehicle will end up. The ride is like traveling into a life size cartoon. Yeah, there are a bunch of movie screens, but this is a very inventive attraction. Anyone who loves Mickey, Minnie, and animation in general need to make this a must-see. There's a catchy original song that will be stuck in your head, and the ride is just so gosh darn cute that you won't leave without a big smile on your face. It's great for kids, adults....for everyone.

Wow! I had to ride this one a couple times because it was extraordinary and very well crafted. Such a great addition to the park. This is probably up in my top 3!

Toon Town is not yet open when I got to experience this ride, but it's really neat to see the little "sneak peak" of what's to come! Especially Mickey's Runaway Railway! We were lucky enough to get into the virtual queue and it was almost immediately a walk on for us! This was nice, but at the same time, waiting in line for this ride wouldn't be too bad since there's "props" and items from iconic Mickey Mouse shorts, movies, and cartoons, along with a timeline of featured posters for the Mouse himself! Everyone gets a short intro to the ride's storyline and spoilers aside, it was really cool and really unexpected. The ride itself operates similar to Rise of the Resistance, like a hockey puck on an air hockey table. There's lots to look at and the ride is focused on utilizing extremely intricate projections on the many rooms and areas you travel through. With that in mind, there WERE some parts where the ride "broke down" due to some issues with these projections and thus, we had to randomly be paused and wait at certain areas and at one point we were turbo rushed and swung into another room very, very quickly. Definitely the most thrilling part of the ride, even though it wasn't intended or planned. Looking forward to when they work out the growing pains of this ride for sure! PS. Does anyone else think the new Goofy in the cartoon series is a bit cursed looking? Lol, I did...

Noelle's Yelp Notebook 2023 The Pandemic Chronicles Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway is the newest ride at Disneyland located in the newly imagined Toon Town. During our son's Winter Vacation - Ski Week we trekked down to Southern California from the SF Bay Area. Our first time riding MMRR was on February 17, 2023. At the time you could have 3 options to ride the ride- purchase a individual lighting lane pass, wait in the standby queue or use the virtual queue. We opted for the purchase of the Individual Lightning Lane (since we already had purchased Genie+). We also did the virtual queue but the return time was so late into the evening it ended up not working out for us. They checked our Individual Lighting Lane Passes before they let us into Toon Town. They scanned our passes once we got to the actual attraction. It was a breeze - there was no one in front of us and there were a ton of people in the regular standby queue. I did snap some quick photos are we went through the ILL queue. Then once we were about to go through the doors to start the ride - it broke down. Eek! We waited for over 45 minutes. Cast Members sent away people in the standby queue. Some people in the ILL queue left and requested a refund. We decided to wait it out and it was worth the wait. The ride is trackless and smooth, sometimes jerky, fast or slow depending on what's going on. The music and theme of the ride is fun and exciting. It's definitely one of my favorite rides in Disneyland. I would definitely pay to skip the line (which is what we did). Subsequent rides on our trip were covered by Multi-Experience Passes given to us by the hotel we stayed at - Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. If you love Mickey and Minnie you will be in for a fun treat! Noelle's Notes Buy the Individual Lightning Lane pass if you don't want to wait. One of my favorite rides!!

Awesome ride, easily now one of my family's favorite ride here. For me this ride is up there with "It's a Small World" as being my favorite ride now. From the cartoon in the beginning to the ride it's self, the spinning & every new room it's goes too & all the graphics, it's awesome. It's fun for the whole family, not too crazy that little ones can sit with you & enjoy it too. We got on it twice, once when we first got there early & at the end before they closed. Lines might be a bit long sometimes but not too bad compared to other rides. Located in the heart of Toon Town make sure you go to this ride with the family, Disneyland scored a hit with this new ride. Every time we now go to Disneyland we will be looking forward to going on this ride, see you soon on those Rail Road tracks Mickey, Choo Choo! :)

The newest ride at Disneyland opened at the end of January 2023 with much fanfare. It is identical to the ride at Walt Disney World with this one finding its home in Toon Town. To ride the ride, you must utilize the virtual queue either at 7 am or 1 pm. Disneyland reserves the right to utilize virtual queues at their discretion. It was just announced that they will be moving to a standby queue this week but you can still purchase the Lightning Lane, if you want to bypass the line. Toon Town is currently closed for renovations and won't open until March but the new ride is assessable to guests with a virtual queue spot or Lightning Lane purchase. I secured an early boarding pass last weekend and made it to the park shortly before the end of my queue time. I actually made it to Toon Town with 0 minutes to spare! It was the fastest I've ever had to traverse the park in a while. While in line, we were greeted with movie memorabilia from Mickey's previous adventures. When you board the train car, you realize that Goofy is the conductor. You see Mickey & Minnie in their car driving in the countryside until the train cars get derailed. This is where the Disney trackless technology comes into play. The ride is fun and perfect for kids and adults. I hope you get to ride MMRR soon! It's worth the wait.

It was such a blast to ride this ride, which is still brand spanking new, and hard to get a virtual queue for. I tried on a Thursday at 1 PM and was lucky enough to snag an evening return time! Once you enter, you're basically in the waiting line of a movie theater, which zigzags quite a long way through Disney themed movie posters, movie relics in glass boxes, and a concession stand, until you're led to watch a short movie, and then get on the ride, which are little sections of a train driven by Goofy. The ride was super cute and fun, and is a trackless ride similar to Rise of the Resistance. It moves surprisingly quickly, and there are different little scenes in the storyline to enjoy, and the animation in each room is just incredible! What a wonderful addition to the new and improved Toon Town!

Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway is a pretty fun ride. First time that I went on it with my mom and sister, it had gone down to where we were escorted. The cast members that were operating the ride were really nice. We went on it again on the second day that we went to Disneyland and we still loved. It was still a fun ride. I didn't get mad about it shutting down. It happens sometimes. Would definitely be going o the ride again on my next trip to Disneyland.

When Hollywood studios closed "the great movie ride" I was furious. I though t that there were never be an attraction as good as that one. Well I was proven wrong here. My husband and decided to check out Mickey and Minnie's Runaway railway in Toontown. I had read so much about the theatrical hoopla they give Mickey in the preshow area that I wanted to check it out for myself. For this reason we decided not to invest in individual purchase lightning lane so we could cool off and take everything in. I really loved the movie parody billboards of classic Disney movies and some of Mickey's outstanding roles. Sure we may remember him as the Sorceror's apprentice and Steamboat Willie but he was also in "the prince and the pauper." So much to see in this area. Course the best set up was the concession stand in the middle. Try if you can to take it all in-sort of hard when you have to move through a line. Still it is worth getting pictures of. The movie's theme is Mickey and Minnie in "A perfect picnic." The picnic turns out to be anything but perfect when Goofy rams into them during the preshow and he asks you to become part of the cartoon itself. You are then directed to the boarding area that is run by a train engine. The cars you ride in are trackless and again you are led by engineer Goofy as he meets up with Mickey and Minnie enroute to their picnic. Meanwhile the famous couple is stopped at a RR crossing but then appear in scene after scene such as the wild west and an amusement park as your trackless vehicle continues its journey. You are caught up in a "twister" from "the Band concert" that throws you and your cartoon friends into a tropical paradise. More misadventures await as you travel from scene to scene. One of my favorite parts was seeing Daisy Duck lead you into a whirlwind ballet class that your trackless car dances in synchronazition and end up doing a conga. All in all you have a happy ending with Mickey singing "nothing can stop us now." It's truly a whirlwind of delights and adventure as your trackless car goes every which way. The Hollywood Studios counterpart: This ride was brought over here as a copy of the original attraction that sits in the Chinese theater on their version of Hollywood Blvd. If you look closely at some of the background scenes you will see remnants of what they did with "The Public Enemy and the Wild West scene" among others. I haven't ridden it there yet but now it is on my must do list whenever I return. When you go outside be sure to check out the fountain dedicated to Mickey. It's so adorable. A perfect place for a perfect picnic! Located in Mickey's toontown in Disneyland.

**August 2023: Weeknight Evening Visit** One of my priorities in visiting Disneyland was the catch the newest attraction Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway. I'd see so many of my friends IG and FB posts about it that I knew I had to check it out for myself. My friend and I entered Toon Town at around 745pm and noticed a sign with the following information Toon Town Closed: 8pm-10pm I figured as long as we were in line for the ride before 8pm that we should be able to ride it and I was right! The posted time said 70 minutes, but we made it on the ride in about 20-25 minutes. The queue itself is really cute and I loved reading all the different plaques and seeing the cartoon props I won't spoil the ride experience, but the trackless adventure utilized a lot of new technology and I'm really glad that I got to experience it. And like many rides this one end at a giftshop that sells specific merch related to this new ride. I would love to go on this again!

I was lucky enough to be able to ride Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway opening weekend. I knew visiting during Disney's 100 that the opportunity to join the virtual queue would be difficult. Add in their push for paid Lightning Lane and it would make those virtual queue spots nearly impossible. It's now been two weeks, but if you're looking for some Virtual Queue guidance - here it is. Remember to have everyone in your party try. - Sign into the Disney App at 6am the day you have reservations to Disneyland. Add all the tickets in your party. - Click join the virtual queue and select the people in your party. - At 6:50am open the Virtual Queue, select the ride, and wait. - Use your Apple Watch with a second hand to get an accurate time. - When it's 10 seconds before 7am start refreshing. You can pull down to refresh. Swipe down like your life depends on it! - As soon as you see a blue button on the screen that says Join Virtual Queue, click it. - You'll either be forwarded to the Congrats screen with your Virtual Queue number and estimated time OR you'll get a red error at the bottom of the screen. The red error does not always mean you didn't get in the queue. Refresh your app and recheck. If you weren't able to get into the queue, you'll have another opportunity at 1pm. Just make sure that if you're in the park you are in an area with good reception. I prefer to not use wifi as everyone else seems to be on this at the same time and it bogs down. But it might be different! You'll only be able to ride once per day, so don't bother trying to get a second queue. Keep in mind LL passes may sell out, they are first come first serve. And if you don't get into the queue with the second opportunity you may not be able to purchase LL. If you have kids you may want to just purchase LL early in the day so you have a better time to ride. Otherwise you could get a 11pm ride time and that's not always feasible with small children. The ride and queue are really adorable. The "remade" posters are delightful! In typical Disney fashion the queue is deceivingly long as it twists and winds around. There are plenty of adorable things to look at along the way. You'll be ushered into one of three areas to view a brief intro-movie, and then escorted to a short ride queue. Each car as two rows with a long connected seat and one safety bar. You could easily fit 4 maybe 5 adults. The front car doesn't necessarily give a better ride, as it is immediately behind the locomotive. So don't stress about which car is better. They all have equally great views of the ride. I hate to give any of the actual ride away, but I will say I'm loving this trackless ride system. Not being able to anticipate the car's movement makes the ride super fun. They're a nice balance between screens and animatronics. And the ride isn't too scary that children would be too fearful. Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Rail adds a much needed update to Toontown (soon to be completely open and refurbished in early March) and gives park-goers another ride option to it's portfolio.

A feast for the eyes! This is Disney's newest ride! Right now only virtual queue reservations will be allowed to get on this ride. You will have to download the Disneyland app and then refresh your browser right at 7 AM to try to get a place in line. This ride is right next to Roger rabbit spin. Toon town is still closed but this ride had opened. It combines the magic of Disney virtual reality plus a trackless car. The same technology as the rise of resistance ride. From the very beginning until the very end this ride combines the very best of Disney and its emerging technologies.

Mickey and Minnie is Runaway Railway is one of the newer rides here in Disneyland. The original was out in Hollywood Studios in Disney world, but they brought this here a couple of months ago. I had no idea what to expect and I was avoiding all sorts of spoilers from the east coast and other spoilers once this ride had opened up here. The ride system is similar to Rise of the Resistance where it's trackless and it's cool to see how they utilized things. The first time going on this ride was when they were still doing a virtual queue for the ride and my sister and I were lucky enough to score a line in the queue. We've been on this once it formally opened and it's one I keep an eye out on if the wait times aren't too bad. This ride is located in Toontown kind of behind It's a small world. They did an amazing job with the queue inside. I must like a museum with lots of memorabilia and great movie posters. Very very creative with what they did here. Overall, I thought this ride was really well made and really fun. There are tons of surprises and Easter eggs all over. The song is really catchy and I find myself singing it.

We visited the park yesterday and surprisingly got to try this ride! It was only a 55 minute wait so we happily hopped in line and waited. Most rides can get pretty long wait times so we were very surprised at how quick this one was. We didn't know what to expect at all. Being in Toon Town, we expected it to be a kiddy ride like Mr Toad's Wild Ride or something. The line queue is quite entertaining. Beautiful decor, like walking through a Disney/Mickey history museum! Loved seeing all the cute posters of play on old movies. We hopped on the ride, thinking it was going to be slow because of how it rolled up to us. It's like a regular looking train, BUT TRACKLESS. I didn't understand the point of it being trackless till the ride splits everyone up! It was the coolest thing. It was basically like Rise of the Resistance but for kids. Such a cute and fun ride! Felt so fresh and new and hope to see more rides like this. It's such a fantastic experience and highly recommend it. Worth the wait and everything! IG: @ammysalamii

Finally made the effort to wake up early and get to the park at opening time to avoid the lines. That's pretty much the only time during the day that we've ever seen this ride have a wait under an hour, or it isn't broken. The line itself snakes through multiple rooms with Mickey decorations from the "movies" that he's been in, many of which my kids recognized and had fun with. The ride itself is similar to Rise of the Resistance in that it's a ride you get into but it has no tracks, just open floor. The ride itself spins and zooms through different areas, using projections and animations in a creative way. Interesting but bigger kids might be bored, there are no drops, high speeds, or fast movements.

Fantastic ride for all ages. The tech used was phenomenal give it a try. You won't regret it!

Newer ride, was one our favorites. To get onto this ride you had to get on the virtual queue at 6:58am to get a slot to enjoy this ride. Once you are in the park check the status and your number will come up when the ride is available to get on there is a code that you have to show when you get to the ride. Once you get in there is old Disney memorabilia on the walls and cartoon structure art that you walk by while in line. Once you get into the ride you watch a short clip of Mikey And Minnie than the excitement kicks in at the end of the short clip the screen then is busted and you go through the screen super cool!! Get on the cart and it just starts whipping around, it was so fun and colorful with fast excitement. We all enjoyed it very much!!

Located in Toon Town in Disneyland Park. As of right now there is no stand by or single rider line. Only virtual queue at 7am and 1pm and paid lightning lane prices vary. There is a lot to see while walking through the queue. The ride itself is trackless like Star Wars Rise of the Resistance. The ride is kind of rough lots of side to side motion. Overall it's a cute fun ride.

Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway is Disneyland's newest ride. It is located in the newly refurbished toon town. It is currently being offered as standby through virtual queue and lightning lane if you purchase it. We were able to get to ride both days we were at Disneyland because we got lucky with the virtual queue. Unfortunately, the ride broke down the second day, so the standby line was longer than expected because they had to accommodate all the people who couldn't get on while it was broken. The ride itself is the same tech used in ride of the resistance; a trackless track if you know what I mean. The "cars" go through a series of rooms following Mickey and Minnie's journey to have a picnic. It's pretty cool, but definitely more geared toward kids, unlike rise of the resistance. I'm good going on it once a trip and didn't feel it was necessary to buy the lightning lane pass. It is also the only way to experience toon town since toon town is closed to everyone else not going on the ride.

*Milestone review (#800) so in true Cynthia form, it's gotta be something Disney related.* What a cute ride. But do not underestimate the word cute, because the technology to this was great! It's pretty neat to see how far technology has come. No more rides on a track....this is trackless!!!!!! Without giving away the ride too much....there's a reason why they're calling it RUNAWAY Railway. No worries, there's no drops to this ride. It's all in a surprising, colorful fun experience. As of March, virtual queue was not used, standby line only. If you got some $$ to shell out, you can pay for an Individual Lighting Lane. Price per person will vary on the day of...depending if it's a busy weekend, holiday, Spring Break etc. So far I've seen the cost range from $15-20.00 per person/ticket. The queue line is different than the one at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Orlando. It's so detailed with many trivia/info about Mickey and the shorts The Disney Company have created throughout the years. So even though the standby wait may be 45+ minutes, this will def help pass the wait time. My favorite parts on the ride are Daisy's dance hall and the windy part.

4.5 stars When I arrived here in the morning, the wait time was estimated to be 50 minites, but I made to the entrance of the ride, El Captioon theater, within 30 minutes and, in 35 minutes, was able to get on the ride. And then, the ride broke down... The Cast Members were apologetic and they walked everyone out. Everyone affected got a Lightening Lane pass, which I used after lunch. At that point, the wait for stand-by was a whopping 90 minutes. With my pass, I was able to get on within 5-10 minutes. So, I was pretty satisfied with my experience. The ride itself was so cute. It is a kids ride where you join Mickey & Minnie in their cartoon adventure. I personally enjoyed the new tech and didn't have any issues. I've ridden this ride when I was at Disney World's Hollywood Studios and I think a noticeable difference is the one where the seats start to vibrate because of the concrete drill scene. Disney World's cart vibration was STRONG, but it was barely noticeable here. I know it is a weird thing to notice...but notice it I did. I highly recommend this ride. I would suggest arriving early morning. The ETA will say 40/50 minutes in the morning, but it is actually people taking their sweet time taking pictures. So, the wait isn't actually as long in the morning. Since this ride is still new, I think it breaks down frequently for a number of reasons. But with enough experience and technical tweaking, I'm sure it'll only improve.

Favorite new ride in Disneyland! The ride was recently opened in Jan 2023. The only ways to access this ride are by acquiring a virtual queue pass at 7 am or 1 pm via Disneyland's app or purchasing a lightning lane (usually $15- $20). The ride itself is so cute that takes you into the animation world of Mickey and friends. This ride is the perfect addition to Toontown. I highly recommend to go on this ride if you plan to visit Disneyland.
