For 90 years, Mickey has entertained families and fans. To celebrate the mouse that started it all, Bob Chapek, Disney Parks, Experiences and Consumer Products Chairman, announced several ways park guests can celebrate Mickey — and Minnie in 2019!
Imagineers have been creating Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, a new ride to debut in Hollywood Studios in 2019.

Disney will be using breakthrough technology to transform a two-dimensional cartoon into an amazing real-world experience.
This will be the first-ever ride-through attraction themed to Mickey Mouse. It will open in fall 2019 and feature a new original story and theme song as it takes guests on a journey inside the wacky and unpredictable world of Disney Channel’s Emmy Award-winning “Mickey Mouse” cartoon shorts.
Get Your Ears On – A Mickey and Minnie Celebration in Disneyland
The World’s Biggest Mouse Party continues at the Disneyland Resort with Get Your Ears On – A Mickey and Minnie Celebration, which will bring new entertainment, food and merchandise to the resort.
On January 18, 2019, “Mickey’s Mix Magic” will light up the night at Disneyland Park with all-new music, projections and lasers that set the scene for an epic dance party that takes over almost the entire park.
The party will get even bigger when the fan-favorite Mickey’s Soundsational Parade returns to the resort in January 2019 featuring a new float with Mickey, who will lead the celebration down Main Street U.S.A.

“New Nighttime Experience Coming to Disney Worlds Hollywood Studios” is all I keep seeing. No mention of where we are to go for this “experience?” Will it be projected onto the front of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, or will it be shown somewhere else?
Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway better be the most Amazing attraction any of us have ever seen! The fact that we had to lose TGMR for it just kills me….
Though still in denial that the Great Movie Ride has been unceremoniously dumped on top of the scrap heap of WDW history (nothing a freudian shrink and a few dozen Rorschach ink blots can’t cure. They all look like a mouse to me. Except that one that looked like a geodesic dome), I remain hopeful about its replacement.
What I will miss most about the Great Movie Ride is that it was one of the last attractions exclusively for us old geezers. I sighed with nostalgic reflection when my kids would say, “who’s that old cowboy on the horse talking about pilgrims?” Or “what the hell does, here’s lookin’ at you kid, mean?” (And yes, my kids do occasionally use profane sentence enhancers ……and smoke the occasional unfiltered Lucky Strike). I took great comfort watching the montage of movie clips at the end, knowing that my kids couldn’t name more than a few of them. “Who’s Stella daddy, and why is that guy screaming her name?” A private viewing just for me and Father Time. So to you, Great Movie Ride, I say “Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light……”
