DHS Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway confirmed

[rle4lunch]

too much work. Have to crop it out, redraw the potato topper, fix Donald's shadow, etc.
And get sued for infringement. Easy! I think instead I'll just forward the image to shop Disney and ask they recreate it.

custom ink would get sued for printing it, not you. lol.

If Disney sued everyone who used their IP for shirts, Etsy would shut down tomorrow.

I’m sure they realized long ago that the free advertising from fans wearing shirts that inexplicably write “Big Thunder” under the image of Space Mtn or write “Home” in Disney font under the silhouette of Hogwarts Castle was better than the cost and optics of lawsuits.

We make a new shirt every year we go with some sort of disney font, picture or, gasp, Disney IP. That way we can pick the quality of the shirt and material we like (I personally think the new tshirt materials are ridiculously cheap and as soon as they're sweaty you can pretty much see thru them) and it's still (usually) cheaper than buying a shirt in the parks. That said, we usually get a shirt or 2 while we visit, but the ones I usually want or either sold out or in some random shop in a random resort back in the corner under a rack with the lights burnt out around it so you can't see it (purposely run-on sentence).

What really surprised me was just how much heart they have. Yes they have flashy animation and sometimes gross out humor, all of which I love, but at the core the characters all feel so warm and inviting. Especially the love between Mickey and Minnie. At the end of the day the Mickey here is still Mickey and the hero. It's perfect example of updating characters and stories to modern audiences while keeping true to the characters as Walt created them.

Not to mention the new Mickey shorts features references to older Disney material and some obscure ones. I love how the latest short featured Tillie Tiger and Elmer Elephant holding hands near Niagara Falls. The Elmer Elephant short is my favorite of the Silly Symphony cartoons.

Apologies if this has been already asked, I haven't been on this thread in some time, but do we think the opening date will be revealed at D23?

It's likely. If not an opening date, at least an opening season (I.e. may).

I'm expecting some form of video, audio, or just media for promotion.

I am told that there are efforts now to switch out some of the Mickey voice lines with ones recorded years ago by Wayne Allwine, and hide a sweet reminder in the ride somehow that it is dedicated to the memory of Russi and Wayne. I think that's a very fitting thing to be done for the ride, given that it was one of the final times Russi played Minnie Mouse.

That's sound interesting, where did you hear that from?

So basically like they did with DL's Fantasmic mixing Wayne's and Brett's audio.

And the same as they did with Donald in Philharmagic. They haven't decided what small symbol to put in the ride to dedicate it to Wayne and Russi, but it should be there when the ride opens. And brb1006, I usually can't say where I get my info, although I have done it once before on the forums when it was okay to reveal.

Except this time it should be mixing Wayne and Diamantopoulos... which means the moments where Wayne is integrated should be slightly easier to pick out - which is cool.

FACT! And we've gotten SO MANY CM compliments on our various unofficial Disney shirts. I think they enjoy seeing something different.

Our best moment was with the opening of Pandora, all the suits were there, and we came out of Tiffin's wearing our "wall" shirts I made from the quotes on the construction walls around Rivers of light. One of the CMs pointed it out to Djuan Rivers (VP of Animal Kingdom), who insisted we all take a picture together. Pretty impressive as there were 8 of us, and we had each wall panel. One of our favorite souvenirs!

I finally have something to talk about regarding this attraction! According to Jim Hill, this is opening in May. Obviously it’s a rumor but there ya go. Seems kinda late to me, thoughts?

It’s slipped even more ?

Something seems off here...Jim Hill explicitly said in the newest fine tooning it way May. I’m inclined to believe him however, what is up with this attraction to be delayed for SO LONG. I get rise needs workers but all the way to May? This not matching up with what you know (judging by your reaction) also surprises me. Doesn’t sound right to me, aren’t they going to be opening rat sometime around then also? What have you heard @marni1971 about either rat or runaway?

I understood the Mickey ride stalled whilst brainpower was moved to RotR and had gone back to April. I anticipate Rat around April although it is moving quickly ahead.

Disney doesn't rush projects because of a rumored opening date unlike the competition.

They are going to open up 2 E-Tickets that close to each other with no big hoopla? Wouldn’t they want to space them out? I’m cool with 2 E-Tickets at the same time but wouldn’t they want to capitalize?

Absolutely agree with you and that’s for the better. It does worry me however that it seems kinda late. Your absolutely correct though, I have every confidence this ride will be great. We don’t want to have a Hagrids problem.
