Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway confirmed

[PSM]

My son turned 2 in November and we took him last month. We did all the parks, he enjoyed Hollywood studios. The Disney JR show was great. I was disappointed MMRR wasn’t opened yet but he definitely wasn’t bored. He took 3 naps at Epcot, lol.

Lol, I can see it at Epcot. Hollywood Studios was our next choice and possibly could have been a toss up with Animal Kingdom except he enjoys the playground at AK. The Cars show would have been great for him at HS since he loves cars but, other than that, I couldn’t come up with too much he would have enjoyed at that particular age; just his personality and preferences at the time, I know they’re all different and they change quickly.

We actually went to AK for the first half of the day and Art of Animation for the second half and just let him wander the Cars section and see all of the cars. It was the best thing we could have done and his favorite part of the whole trip. He got to see a few fun things at AK and then all of his favorite characters from Cars while he played with his Cars toys. It was magical at Art of Animation. One of my best “thinking outside the box” moments of being a parent so far lol.

I'm still quite shocked Disney not only put out a ton of stills... but a large portion of the ride out on B-roll video before it's open? I can't think of them doing it to this degree before? especially recent attractions?

Not only that change of behavior, but now all their PR photos and B-rolls are behind a firewall accessible only by registered media.

Hopefully Disney realizes they could build omnimover/boat style dark rides similar to this without the extra bells and whistles of the trackless system..

They pushed in this direction with the latest version of Alice in Disneyland. Push a little more, but not too much, and there could be a whole new hybrid genre of ride.

I wish they would update a few of the dark rides at Disney world.

Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway will not be available during Extra Magic Hours

Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway News

Perhaps surprisingly, attending EMH will not get you into the park's latest ride.

and I wish we could get some back that they so proudly removed, I realize some were old style, but that was quintessential Disney to me.

During a dinner reception for media at the opening of Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway, Goofy took over the DJ stage to play one of his favorite songs, the theme from "Goof Troop".

Thank goodness Josh is here.

It's weird having some emotion while reading a script.

I really loved the solid shout out to the imagineers and cast members.

 

[wdwmagic]

Josh did a great job. He's a natural.

 

[MisterPenguin]

Josh did a good job. A great one when compared to Chapek.

Tho, Mickey had to push Josh off stage for the closing dance number. I could hear the CM in the costume whispering, "For God's sake, Josh, get off the stage and next time show up for rehearsals."

 

[Disney Analyst]

Josh did a great job. He's a natural.

Honestly, I just really want them to make him the head of Parks...

The Chairman of DPEP handles a lot more than the parks - it is a whole different role. I think president of WDW fits his skill really well.

Finally a genuine spokesmen.

Oh I know, I just wanted to shorten the title haha. Maybe they can split the role up again
