During D23 Expo Japan 2018, Bob Chapek, Chairman of Walt Disney Parks & Resorts announced that Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway will open in 2019 at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway will feature a new catchy theme song created especially for the attraction as well as a new experience that defies logic that Disney is calling 2 ½-D. No glasses required.

On the attraction, the fun begins when you see the premiere of a new cartoon short with Mickey and Minnie getting ready for a picnic. As they head out, they drive alongside a train and find out that the engineer is Goofy. Then, one magical moment lets you step into the movie and on Goofy’s train for a wacky, wild ride.

Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway will put you inside the wacky and unpredictable world of a Mickey Mouse Cartoon Short where you’re the star and anything can happen.

    I'm not a fan of the animation style, but for me, it's the best trackless ride in WDW.

    It's an okay attraction. A good addition. But it's not groundbreaking or something that sits with you days after.

    After spending more time looking back at Railway recently, I can confidently say that it's my favorite ride again. I figured that it would be appropriate to share those stories yesterday for its 5th birthday!

    I find them charming. I love the shorts they feature in and I love this ride!

    It also includes the creepy "new" Mickey and Minnie.

    Not interested in anything about MMRR. Sorry, not sorry. It's a throwaway ADD-fest of an attraction which needlessly replaced a classic.

    I really do love this ride. I still just wish it was an addition to the park and not a replacement for GMR.

    MMRR celebrates its 5th anniversary today!

    It seems that 2025 and 2026 are going to be used to do a lot of maintenance that's been desperately needed. With Epic pulling some of the crowds away (it'll certainly still be busy) and no new rides to advertise until 2027, it's a great time to do it!

    Glad to see. It has be in absolutely awful condition for the past year, particularly the carpet. It was way beyond time.

    Big thread bump – MMRR has been getting some love recently, via @Drew the Disney Dude Ride originally opened March 5, 2020, so its fifth anniversary is coming up in a few days.
