Credit: Disney Parks BlogLast month, Disneyland Resort opened its newest ride at Disneyland Park, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway. Guests must sign up for a Virtual Queue or purchase an Individual Lightning Lane to experience this attraction.
For such a complicated and potentially expensive process, Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure fans expected the best from Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway. Unfortunately, many Guests report that the ride is a “cheap” replica of the Walt Disney World Resort version and breaks down more frequently. Some even claim the queue gets dangerously hot during breakdowns.
On Monday, Reddit user u/4myspouse shared a photo taken moments before they evacuated from the attraction. “Beautiful ride but it was interrupted twice before the third and final interruption,” they wrote:
RRR Breakdown from Disneyland
Interestingly, they also shared that when Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway is interrupted, it skips the scene Guests are currently in and moves on to the next one: “Animation stayed on but no music and character voices.”
Thankfully, the Guest was rewarded for their troubles with a multiple-experience Lightning Lane. Additionally, they were refunded for the Individual Lightning Lane they purchased to ride Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway.

Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway first opened in 2020 at the Chinese Theater in Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World Resort, the former home of The Great Movie Ride. This January, Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse found their Southern California home in Mickey’s Toontown!
“Zoom off on a wild and wacky adventure through Mickey and Minnie’s madcap cartoon world,” reads the official Disney description of the ride. “Step into the whimsical universe of a Mickey Mouse short and hitch a ride on Engineer Goofy’s train. What could possibly go wrong?”
“You’re invited to the grand world ‘prem-ear’ of Mickey and Minnie’s latest cartoon short, ‘Perfect Picnic’—and where better to watch it than Toontown’s favorite small-town movie palace, the El CapiTOON Theater!”
