Hi Virginia, welcome to planDisney! You are in good company here, because we are all excited about the grand opening of
Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway as well! I'm so excited to hear you'll be taking your son to experience this on opening weekend.
As of right now, there has not been any official word of whether or not this attraction will utilize a Virtual Queue or not. As I wait to hear more news about the opening of Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway, I'm keeping the
Disney Parks Blog bookmarked. That's been the most helpful place for me to get news on this attraction and all the other offerings coming up in the next few months at the Disneyland Resort.
There are so many other fun things happening the weekend of your visit as well! Along with the grand opening of Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway, there will also be the start of the
Disney100 celebration. This will include fun décor around the parks, new tasty treats, and new nighttime spectaculars -
Wondrous Journeys and
World of Color - ONE.
Also, since you mentioned you are a
Magic Key Holder, I'm hoping you and your son also get a chance to return in a few months after
Mickey's Toontown opens back up on March 8. We're so excited to take our little ones to experience this, too!
Thanks again for your question, Virginia - I'm so glad you'll be experiencing the magic of the Disneyland Resort with your son in a few short weeks. If you think of any other questions as you plan your trip, please feel free to come back and see us!
Have a Magical Day,
Greg
