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.

Is the new Mickey’s runaway railroad Ride handicap accessible?
I would love to ride this ride during my upcoming trip in June but 300 minutes?? I could think of plenty of other things I could get accomplished during that time. I would probably wait until 10 minutes before park closing and get into line then.
