As always, there's a lot of Disney news so let's jump right in!
Happy Birthday to our favorite mouse couple Mickey and Minnie who celebrated on November 18th! In celebration, Disney released a brand-new poster ahead of the opening of Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railroad, the first attraction at a Disney theme park based upon the big cheese himself and his lady love. Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railroad opens at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Spring 2020 and the Disneyland park in 2022.
