Disneyland’s Next Big Attraction Is Opening Earlier Than We Thought

Mickey’s ToonTown at Disneyland has been closed down for a significant restoration for numerous months. The whole land is entirely closed down. Fans have actually been anticipating the land resuming, not just due to the fact that of all the anticipated style modifications however likewise a brand name brand-new significant destination, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway. We were anticipating the brand-new flight to open along with the colony at some time early next year. But we simply found out that the destination will precede, and much earlier than we were anticipating.

Disneyland Resort has actually revealed that the long awaited Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway will open for visitors on January 27, 2023, the very first day of Disneyland’s 100 Years of Wonder event. However, the rest of Mickey’s Toontown is slated for a spring 2023 opening, so the flight will be opening alone.

Runaway Railway definitely will not be the just huge thing taking place on January 27. The 100 Years of Wonder occasion, set to commemorate the 100th anniversary of The Walt Disney Company, will likewise see a brand-new Disneyland nighttime magnificent, Wonderous Journeys, a brand-new variation of Disney California Adventure’s World of Color, called World of Color – One, and the return of the Magic Happens parade, all set to start on that exact same day.

We understood all these numerous additions to Disneyland Resort were coming, they’d all been revealed at the current D23 Expo, however having a company date for them is terrific. Knowing when Magic Happens returns is particularly good. That parade debuted at Disneyland just 2 weeks prior to the pandemic shutdown, so really couple of individuals have actually ever in fact seen it. 

Disneyland had actually just ever provided an “early 2023” date for the ToonTown reopening, however we definitely weren’t anticipating any of it to be prepared within the very first month of the year. The reality that the flight will now open prior to the remainder of the land definitely provides the impression that the strategy was for whatever to open in the spring, however given that the flight was prepared someone chose, why wait?

Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway opened at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in March 2020, simply prior to the pandemic shutdown. The Disneyland variation is anticipated to mostly be a clone of that variation, though there will be some outside and cosmetic distinctions to make the flight fit much better with the Toontown style.  

It’s maybe not that unexpected to see the brand-new destination open early. It’s end up being rather basic practice at this moment. Disney opened Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World without Rise of the Resistance. Avengers Campus opened at Disney California Adventure without it’s significant E-ticket, a destination that was only recently confirmed by Disney to even be happening at all. 

Hopefully Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway will not get too huge a get on the rest of Mickey’s Toontown. Navigating visitors to a destination at the back of the land while the rest of it is still being dealt with is most likely going to be a logistics headache. Still, not needing to await the brand-new flight is good. It’s now less than 4 months away.
