There’s a very big part of Disneyland Resort that’s getting a makeover right now, and some big changes are coming!
It’s getting a makeover!
Mickey’s Toontown is getting a bunch of upgrades, from water features to a new park. But, one of the most exciting things coming to the land is a NEW ride — Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway. And now, we FINALLY have an opening date for the new attraction!
There is a TON of stuff you can do on Disneyland Resort’s mobile app.

You can mobile order food, make Lightning Lane reservations through Genie+, check wait times, see park hours, and so much more. And, Disney is adding even more to the app to help you make your trip even better. A NEW feature is coming soon that will make losing your car in Disneyland a thing of the past.

Genie+ is the PAID FastPass+ replacement service that can help you skip the lines at some of your favorite rides throughout the parks.
