So what about that ride Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway?

Did a search and Magic Feather said: "No gift shop in old ride space."
I'll honestly be baffled if this doesn't get one. Perhaps they'll extend out by the left of the facade and put one in as an addition to the building. If themed, it could cover up the bland sound stage building behind it.

The presentation at D23 felt like they wanted to emphasize the 'Classic Style' attraction. The way the emphasize the Non-IP (kinda) aspect, the Catchy Theme, and the groundbreaking effects make me think they want this to be a classier disney ride. I'd be suprised if they had a gift shop.

I’m sure there will be merch. It’s easy enough to sell some shirts outside.

I don't hold the stigma against gift shops that others have. I don't think it makes a ride less classy, especially if it's tied to something for which there is already a wealth of merchandise, and even more-so if it means there's not going to be a sponsor. I'd rather exit through a sea of Mickey and Minnie plush that I can just as easily walk by than enter under a marquee that proclaims "Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway, Presented By: Huggies Diapers." The unavoidable stroller parking lot outside of any attraction kind of kills whatever class you're perceiving anyway. Long before Pirates had a movie franchise, it always emptied into a gift shop and I never thought any less of it. Just got to see Memento Mori, and honestly I wish they'd had that from the outset.
If M&MRR doesn't have an attached gift shop, is there any place in WDW that you can get Mickey or Minnie merchandise?

I think you're all out of luck mate... I hear that all the stores are only going to sell are Goofy and Pluto merchandise. Its all part of the secret agenda to turn WDW into a dogs only resort. It's already started with the hotels, soon it will spread to the parks!!!!!!!

Any leftover space would not be suitable for using.
Separate load and unload are already planned.

I'm thinking they'll use the shop they used for the GMR closing merch.

Please pardon my lack of following along then I googled and couldn’t find anything. Are there any projected opening seasons/dates for this ride out yet?

I saw some say early 2019. I guess they're wishful thinkers

Will DHS get to at least open THIS ride before Disneyland? LOL (I'm just being sarcastic ... mostly)
When are they getting Runaway Railway? I did read the thread in the Disneyland forum and I don't know if any timeframes were posted.
Really wish this would stay unique to DHS

Just a rumor at this point. Insiders divided over where it's going. So, no timeline yet.
