A Unique Disneyland Experience

While the ride system and storyline are similar to the Walt Disney World version, the Disneyland Runaway Railway offers an entirely original queue, setting, and backstory unique to Disneyland. Guests begin their journey inside the El CapiTOON Theater.  For the premiere of a new Mickey Mouse cartoon short, “Perfect Picnic.”

The Queue: A Must-See Attraction

The queue itself is an experience, designed as a tribute to Mickey Mouse’s career. Inside the El CapiTOON Theater, you’ll find a special exhibit, “Mickey Through the Ears,” created by the Toontown Hysterical Society. It’s filled with hidden Mickeys, exclusive movie posters, and incredible Easter eggs celebrating Mickey’s legacy.
