New Details on Mickey & Minnie\u2019s Runaway Railway and Mickey\u2019s Toontown, Opening in Early 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n

As we\u2019ve\u00a0previously shared<\/a>, an ambitious transformation of Mickey\u2019s Toontown in Disneyland park is underway. The neighborhood that Mickey Mouse and friends call home will reopen as a vibrant symphony of sights, sounds and sensations. The reimagined land will feature some all-new experiences and interactive play for guests, with a focus on family and young children.<\/p>\n

Coming to Mickey\u2019s Toontown will be a new attraction, the family-friendly and adventurous Mickey & Minnie\u2019s Runaway Railway. Disney Imagineers are making some clever adjustments to the attraction to ensure it perfectly fits into the story of Mickey\u2019s Toontown.<\/p>\n

Today, we shared a closer look inside the El CapiTOON Theater, where a special exhibit created by the Toontown Hysterical Society is celebrating all things Mickey with costumes and props from the toon world.<\/p>\n

\"Artist<\/figure>\n

The exhibit features several items guests may recognize from classics including \u201cSteamboat Willie\u201d and \u201cPlane Crazy\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Artist<\/figure>\n

And building on the legacy of Mickey\u2019s Toontown, upon reopening the land there will be more opportunities for families to play together, with new open, grassy play spaces for everyone to unplug. We are stepping into a new era of inclusive experiences in this land, for families of all ages.<\/p>\n

\"Artist<\/figure>\n

Here\u2019s a look at Goofy\u2019s How-to-Play Yard. Goofy\u2019s neck of the woods will be dedicated to all things play, where the soft, spongy ground is the perfect place for youngsters to enjoy a fun, enclosed area. Here, Goofy encourages his son, Max, and all his friends to play the Goofy way.<\/p>\n

Within this rendering of the brand-new Goofy\u2019s How-To-Play Yard, you can see one of its silliest areas \u2013 a playful sound garden. Adults can take a rest while their little ones discover all the fun and wacky sounds the garden makes. They\u2019ll also have a chance to explore an all-new, elevated clubhouse.<\/p>\n

\"Artist<\/figure>\n

Inside his house, Goofy has set up a candy-making contraption that only he could imagine.<\/p>\n

\"Artist<\/figure>\n

Here you see Donald\u2019s Boat, which has crashed in the duck pond of the Goof homestead! Around Donald\u2019s Duck Pond are larger-than-life spinning water lilies, balance beams and rocking toys that will keep adventurous kids busy. And for those who like a little splash in their step, a flood of fun awaits.<\/p>\n

These new experiences will join existing favorites like Roger Rabbit\u2019s Car Toon Spin, Mickey\u2019s House and Minnie\u2019s House. Plus, other attractions will be reimagined in new and exciting ways, including Gadget\u2019s Go Coaster. Mickey\u2019s Toontown will reopen in early 2023.<\/p>\n

New Details on Tiana\u2019s Bayou Adventure, Coming to Disneyland Park in Late 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tiana\u2019s Bayou Adventure<\/a>\u00a0will open at the Disneyland Resort (and Walt Disney World Resort) in late 2024. The new attraction\u2019s story will pick up right where \u201cThe Princess and the Frog\u201d left off. At the end of the film, Princess Tiana realizes her lifelong dream when she opens her restaurant, Tiana\u2019s Palace. We pick up the story during Carnival season, when Tiana is hosting a party for the people of New Orleans. She discovers her celebration is missing a key ingredient and needs our help to find it. On Tiana\u2019s Bayou Adventure, we\u2019ll join Tiana and Louis on a trip to the bayou, where they meet all sorts of unexpected new friends who have a special role to play at the party.<\/p>\n

The attraction will get a whole new look and feel. Plus, Imagineers are blending tried-and-true techniques with the latest technology to make this feel like an entirely new attraction.<\/p>\n

Additionally, it was announced that talented voices from the film will reprise their roles in the attraction, including Bruno Campos as Prince Naveen, Michael Leon Wooley as Louis, Jenifer Lewis as Mama Odie, and the one and only Anika Noni Rose as Princess Tiana. This is especially exciting news since music will be a big part of the experience on Tiana\u2019s Bayou Adventure.<\/p>\n

Disney100 Celebration at Disneyland Resort Kicks Off in Late January 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n

At Disneyland Resort, the Disney100 anniversary celebration will kick off in late January 2023 with special limited-time celebrations taking place throughout the whole year. The Happiest Place on Earth will receive new platinum-infused d\u00e9cor, new sparkling looks for Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and their pals, special food and beverage offerings, and so much more.<\/p>\n

Disneyland Resort guests will be dazzled by two all-new nighttime spectaculars: \u201cWorld of Color \u2013 One\u201d at Disney California Adventure park and \u201cWondrous Journeys\u201d at Disneyland park.<\/p>\n

\"Artist<\/figure>\n

\u201cWorld of Color \u2013 One\u201d will celebrate the storytelling legacy started by Walt Disney a century ago. It will tell a new story of how a single action, like a drop of water, creates a ripple that can grow into a wave of change. It brings some of the most courageous, loving and inspiring characters to life in new ways. The show will also feature a new original song, \u201cStart a Wave.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Artist<\/figure>\n

And at Disneyland park, Walt\u2019s original magic kingdom will become a magnificent canvas with \u201cWondrous Journeys,\u201d a new nighttime spectacular that will ignite the wonder in all of us. It will feature nods to all 60 Walt Disney Animation Studios films to date, taking us on a journey filled with artistry, music, storytelling and heart. It will continue to build upon the park\u2019s state-of-the-art projection effects, turning Main Street, U.S.A., Sleeping Beauty Castle, the fa\u00e7ade of \u201cit\u2019s a small world\u201d and the Rivers of America into an artist\u2019s canvas that brings characters to life all around you as fireworks dance in the sky. \u201cWondrous Journeys\u201d will also feature an incredible new song, \u201cIt\u2019s Wondrous,\u201d which D23 Expo fans heard for the first time today!<\/p>\n

\"Mickey<\/figure>\n

Plus, in the spring, the long-awaited return of the \u201cMagic Happens\u201d parade will debut at Disneyland park. We look forward to sharing many more details about how Disneyland Resort will celebrate the company\u2019s 100th<\/sup>\u00a0anniversary in the weeks and months to come.<\/p>\n
