Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway - Disneyland

[Old Mouseketeer]

I'm so sorry. Only the first sentence was directed at you--I humorously said I wasn't having a heart attack (I thought you made a great joke). I was really responding to those who continue to claim that there is this vast amount of space to be gained by moving even more BOH functions off-property, of which I am doubtful. Sorry if I didn't properly express my appreciation of what I thought was a great shout-out.

P.S. BrianLo--your avatar reminds me of one of my favorite commercials--the FedEx "Enchanted Forest" spot from 2008-9.

Super late reply!

Do you know if there has been much activity backstage yet on this project? I can't remember when everything was slated to close.

So it sounds like nothing is moving out for this attraction; it's using current backstage areas. Correct?

No we might lose half a store.

[George Lucas on a Bench]

Somehow I don't see that happening.

 

[StarWarsGirl]

Oh darn. There's such a shortage of gift shops.

So how does this underwhelming SWL make us feel about the Mickey ride? For whatever reason I’m still cautiously optimistic about it unlike Spider-Man/ Marvel Land.

Will it even have buttons or immersive voices speaking on an intercom in the waiting line? What video game console with it be graphically equivalent to? At this point, I can really only expect the highest quality from Disney.

This ride and the beauty and the beast ride are two rides I look forward to in 2020. Partly because I haven't really seen much of it, I just remember stuff like it being 2.5d or something. I'm scared it might turn out cheap though.

I am looking forward to it but my one gripe is they are not using the classic characther design but the modern ugly design in the ride.

Next generation Superstar Limo better be good.

If I remember correctly, construction was to start in November. Not sure where I found that from, but I will try to find it.

That would be my guess. It seems to make the most sense.

The store may be temporarily gone, but Chapek will make sure it finds a new home probably where Gadget's coaster is. He'll have CM's set up desks all throughout the entrance / exit.

Any idea of whether this ride slips a year or two due to the summer slump?

i would rather this happen than what’s more likely, which is opening on time with half of the effects missing

After the news of Russi Taylor's passing, Elyse Willis shared this photo of Russi during a recording session for Runaway Railway.


The latest Mickey Mouse short "Carried Away" also marked the last short that aired while she was still alive.

My rebel spies report that the entertainment building is supposed to be vacant by 8/31. There are reports of stacks of flat moving boxes being delivered to the cube farms. I haven't heard any detailed reports of the interior layouts of the new entertainment buildings. I've only heard that people are getting smaller cubicles with less storage. Unfortunately, I know several people whose jobs involve physical materials that can't be digitized, so it should be interesting. And I believe there will be less windows for the offices.

I haven't heard anything about any offices moving into TDA or people in TDA moving off-site. One of my best Bothans retired. < sniff >
