After closing over a year ago, Mickey's Toontown partially reopened Friday at Disneyland to guests with a new Mickey and Minnie-themed attraction.
Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway is the centerpiece of the renovated Toontown, officially opening on March 8. The family-friendly five-minute adventure sends guests on, what's supposed to be, a relaxing train tour around a park with Goofy. But nothing's ever that simple when Goofy's involved.
Things go haywire when the train cars break free and set loose on their own paths through several colorful rooms. Despite trying to find a nice place to enjoy a picnic, it's up to Minnie and Mickey to try and save everyone and get the train back together in one piece.
A nearly identical version of the attraction opened in March 2020 at Walt Disney World's Hollywood Studios park located in Orlando, Florida, themed to Hollywood's famous TCL Chinese Theatre.
But even if you've been on the ride in Florida, Disney diehards will want to check out this version of the ride for its completely different queue inspired by a different Hollywood landmark, extra time with Goofy, and its many hidden Mickeys. In fact, the ride's executive producer, Jeff Shaver-Moskowitz, and concept designer, Jen Schwartz, told Insider Disneyland's Runaway Railway has more hidden Mickeys than any Disney attraction.
All in all, it's the superior version of the attraction that feels more at home in Toontown.
