Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway
Railway a Crowning Achievement in Multiyear Transformation of
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
|

Disney’s Hollywood Studios is on a roll.
As part of a historic multiyear transformation, the Walt Disney
World Resort theme park has unveiled a years-long string of smash
hits that would make any movie studio jealous, inviting guests
inside some of their favorite stories. Now a new family-friendly
adventure is about to begin as Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway
readies its grand premiere, March 4, 2020, inside the park’s
re-creation of the Chinese Theatre.
That majestic theater has stood at the heart of the park since its
opening day on May 1, 1989, when Disney’s Hollywood Studios gave
guests a behind-the-scenes look at moviemaking. The park has since
evolved into a place that envelops guests in even more immersive
experiences – from exploring a new planet in the Star Wars galaxy to
playing like a toy with Woody and Buzz Lightyear to learning from
Lightning McQueen how to be a champion racer, and much more.
Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway is a crowning achievement in this
transformation, bringing guests into the wacky world of a “Mickey
Mouse” cartoon where “mouse rules apply” and anything can happen.
The vibrant attraction adds to the array of immersive new
experiences propelling Disney’s Hollywood Studios into the future.
“From the early days of making movies to today’s focus on engaging
guests, putting them in the story, Disney’s Hollywood Studios has
followed an amazing arc across three decades,” said Phil Holmes,
vice president of the park. “I’m thrilled with its transformation
and look forward to an exciting future. Given all the new
attractions, our message to guests is clear: let your adventures
begin at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.”
What’s New Around Disney’s Hollywood Studios |
- Imagine being inside a “Mickey Mouse” cartoon
short! Anything can happen aboard Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway
Railway, where guests burst through the movie screen and join
Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and pals on a wacky adventure. This
first ride-through attraction themed to Mickey and Minnie
features dazzling visual effects, a lovable new theme song and
surprising twists and turns that are fun for the entire family.
- The newly reimagined Mickey Shorts Theater
debuts March 4, 2020, with a one-of-a-kind animated short
featuring Mickey and Minnie, “Vacation Fun,” celebrating those
true originals’ favorite vacation memories, plus a few new
adventures. “Vacation Fun” is exclusive to Disney’s Hollywood
Studios and includes new animation as well as clips from
favorite “Mickey Mouse” cartoon shorts. After the show, guests
can make even more memories by stepping into life-sized versions
of beloved animated “Mickey Mouse” shorts, where they can pose
for photos with family and friends.
- Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is an expansive and
immersive experience that transports guests to the distant
planet of Batuu, where they live their own Star Wars adventures
inside a 14-acre land. Guests join a climactic battle between
the Resistance and the First Order in Star Wars: Rise of the
Resistance and take the controls of the most famous ship in the
galaxy in Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run. They also build
their own droids or craft lightsabers, discover exotic food and
drink, and explore Black Spire Outpost in search of rare
antiquities.
- Woody, Jessie, Buzz and other fun-loving
characters from Pixar Animation Studios’ Toy Storywelcome guests
to Toy Story Land in the larger-than-life outdoor setting of
Andy’s backyard. Amid giant-size toys, guests feel like
“honorary toys” as they experience the family-friendly roller
coaster Slinky Dog Dash, take a spin on Alien Swirling Saucers
and enjoy the 4D fun of Toy Story Mania!
- At Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy, guests
learn what it takes to be a champion racer. Lightning McQueen,
star of Pixar’s Carsfilms, uses state-of-the-art technology and
a massive wraparound screen to teach the rules of the road as
guests become rookie racers in this new show experience.
- With its pulsing lights and singalong-worthy
songs, the new Disney Junior Dance Party! invites kids to jump,
twirl and move their feet with characters from Disney Junior
television series live onstage. Doc McStuffins, Vampirina, Timon
and Mickey Mouse lead the fun of this high-energy show.

Coming Soon to Disney’s Hollywood Studios |
- A new table-service restaurant will debut
later in 2020 inside Toy Story Land. Roundup Rodeo BBQ
Restaurant will invite guests to a rootin’, tootin’ rodeo right
in Andy’s backyard. Guests will be immersed with all their
favorite toy pals in the Western atmosphere of Woody’s Roundup,
providing a fun, family-friendly dining experience that appears
to be constructed from Andy’s favorite larger-than-life play
sets and games – something that could only happen in Toy Story
Land!

For Disney Resort Guests, Traveling to Disney’s
Hollywood Studios Is Half the Fun |
- To easily access all this fun and excitement,
guests staying at select Disney resort hotels can float into
Disney’s Hollywood Studios aboard the new Disney Skyliner, a
state-of-the-art gondola system that connects the park (and
Epcot) to Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, Disney’s Caribbean
Resort, Disney’s Pop Century Resort and Disney’s Riviera Resort.
Soaring along the treetops of Walt Disney World Resort, guests
discover views never seen before as they prepare to let their
adventures begin at the newly transformed Disney’s Hollywood
Studios.
