In a special presentation at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, Disney Parks, Experiences and Products chairman Bob Chapek announced that Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway will open on March 4, 2020 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway will be the first Disney ride-through attraction featuring Mickey and Minnie Mouse, with guests feeling like they’re inside a cartoon.
