Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway Debuts Friday At Disneyland

ORANGE COUNTY, CA — The celebration of the 100th anniversary of The Walt Disney Company at the Disneyland Resort starts Friday with the grand opening of Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway and the debut of "World of Color — ONE."

Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway, located in Disneyland's Mickey's Toontown, marks the first time Mickey and Minnie Mouse have starred in a ride-through attraction at the Disneyland Resort. Mickey's Toontown is set to reopen March 8 following its closure on March 9, 2022, for the land's makeover.

The attraction promises to transport guests into what is billed as "the wacky and unpredictable cartoon world of Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, where they board a train engineered by Goofy and embark on a zany, out-of-control adventure with surprising twists and turns."

Guests may see different details of the attraction depending on which vehicle they ride in and where they're sitting within each vehicle.The attraction also includes such other iconic Disney characters as Pluto, Goofy, Daisy Duck, Donald Duck and Pete and a new character created for the attraction, a little bird named Chuuby, pronounced "choo-bee."

Guests on the attraction will be required to join the complimentary virtual queue, accessible only via the Disneyland app. There will not be a standby line for the attraction upon its opening, park officials said.

Guests may also get quicker entry to the attraction with the purchase of an individual Lightning Lane arrival window, subject to availability.

In neighboring Disney California Adventure Park, water and light spectacular "World of Color — ONE" will also debut Friday.

The 1,200 fountains in "World of Color — ONE" act as dancers, interpreting the various moments in the show. During the "Born to Play" sequence from Disney and Pixar's animated film "Soul," the jazz tune appears to be "played" by the fountains.

"World of Color — ONE" is the first Disneyland Resort nighttime spectacular to feature characters, music and stories from Walt Disney Animation Studios, Pixar Animation Studios, the Avengers and Star Wars in the same production.
