Walt Disney Imagineering has sprinkled a heavy dose of comedic puns, Hidden Mickeys and Easter Eggs throughout the attraction queue for Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway at Disneyland that offers riders a career retrospective of the Mouse that started it all.

Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway debuts on Friday, Jan. 27 after a series of employee and media previews this week.

The new ride that will serve as the centerpiece of the reimagined Mickey’s Toontown at Disneyland is virtually identical to the version of the attraction that debuted in 2020 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

The big difference: The Florida ride is set inside a recreation of Hollywood’s Chinese Theater while the Anaheim ride is set inside El Capitoon Theater — a cartoon world homage to Hollywood’s El Capitan Theatre.

The varying facades mean the Florida and California attractions have different opening acts. While the East Coast version of the ride continues the Chinese Theater motif through the attraction lobby, the West Coast version features cartoon props from Mickey Mouse’s animated film and TV career after riders enter under Toontown’s El Capitoon Theater marquee.

The backstory behind the Runaway Railway attraction queue at Disneyland finds Minnie Mouse teaming up with the Toontown Hysterical Society to create the “Mickey Through the Ears” exhibit.

Disneyland’s Runaway Railway queue is broken into six areas: Theater Lobby, Early Ears, Golden Ears, Modern Eara, El Capitoon concession stand and the attraction preshow.

Let’s take a closer look at each of the areas in the Runaway Railway queue at Disneyland.

A museum case on the wall recounts the history of the Toontown theater with artifacts like the first ticket ever sold and the giant scissors used to cut the red ribbon on opening day.

Early Ears

The Early Ears section stretches from the 1928 “Steamboat Willie” to the 1940 “Fantasia.”

A sorcerer’s hat from “Fantasia” magically comes to life and levitates above the head of a Mickey Mouse mannequin.
