Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway has a new open date for its debut at the Disneyland theme park in California.
Announced early in 2019, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway is heading to Disneyland. Originally set to debut in 2022, park closures led to a delay in construction. So when will Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway open in Disneyland? Disney announced that 2023 is the new debut date for this exciting and colorful dark ride.

The first steel beam was placed in the back of Mickey’s Toontown, likely to begin installation of a show building. Since last year, pieces of Toontown have gone missing including its iconic Hollywood-like signage. We expect to see these landmarks back once the show building is constructed that houses the ride.
Though recent budget cuts could claim a few announced attractions, Runaway Railway seems to have escaped that fate. Though its been delayed by a year, the new The Princess and the Frog reimagining of Splash Mountain could have taken the 2022 spot. However, Disney has yet to confirm this.
Additionally, it’s far cheaper for Disney to replicate a ride than build a new one. Since Runaway Railway has already opened in Walt Disney World, many of the props from the ride could have been double ordered by Disney to cut costs. Since the budget commitment likely already exists, we expect that it made more financial sense to move forward with the ride. However, we also anticipate that
