The brand new attraction Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway has officially opened in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. While we’ve already given you a FIRST LOOK at the attraction and the merch, it’s time to step inside.

We will also keep you up-to-date on opening day lines and the grand opening of the new Mickey Shorts Theater!

Be sure to be on the lookout as we will be updating this post throughout the DAY so be sure to check back!

We showed up around 6:10 this morning to find a pretty hefty crowd of people had already gathered.

Here’s a look behind us! While this hasn’t been totally unusual since the grand opening of Rise of the Resistance, it was still a larger group of people waiting to enter the park!

We were allowed into the park at 6:51 AM and were able to hop in line for the ride immediately. It was up and running for guests to ride before the official park opening at 8 AM.

We have seen the wait time fluctuate between 180 minutes and 300 minutes.
