Mickey and Minnie Runaway Railway & More

During the 30th celebration of Disney’s Hollywood Studios last month, we attended a presentation on Mickey and Minnie Runaway Railway. We received some great information and we knew we needed to share with you!

The presentation started with the conception of Mickey and Minnie Runaway Railway. They explained that it will be like riding inside a Mickey Mouse short.

They also showed us the neon marquee concept that will go on the front of the Grauman’s Chinese Theater. We were told that this signage would be animated. Here’s a picture of it:

In addition, we saw pictures of an early rendition of the model, its transformation over time, and different lighting scenarios.

During the presentation, the Mickey Mouse short that will be showed was revealed and it is called, Perfect Picnic.

Though there was one part of the presentation that blew us away. One of the original Steamboat Willie whistles was in the room!

Toy Story Land Updates

After all that amazing information on Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway, we got some news on Toy Story Land updates! It was revealed to us that a new table service restaurant was coming to Toy Story Land! It will be a barbeque restaurant with a rodeo theme. They are calling the new dining experience “Roundup Rodeo.” It will still have the theme that we are in Andy’s backyard so we’re excited to try it out when it opens! Also, a pop-up shop for Toy Story 4 merchandise will be coming to the exit area of Toys Story Mania.

In conclusion, we appear to be in for some fun times ahead at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
