We’re inching closer and closer to a big ride opening in Disney World.
Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway will make history when it opens in Hollywood Studios as the first ride to feature Mickey and Minnie. We’re patiently awaiting the opening on March 4th, and in the meantime, we’re keeping an eagle eye out for any sign of news about the attraction. Well today, we got pretty excited because we spotted a piece of Runaway Railway merchandise at All-Star Sports Resort!
UPDATE: Recently our readers have told us the Mickey and Minnie Runaway Railway Whistles are not available in some locations any longer. We’ll keep checking back, though and let you know when we see them out again!
As we know, Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway has guests boarding a train, so what better toy to go along with the ride’s opening than one of those old-fashioned wooden train whistles. While we saw a sneak peek of this a few months back, we’re SO happy to see it in person. Look how cute this is! It’s even got Mickey as a little train engineer in his own version of the Railway train.
Technically, Goofy is the engineer on the actual attraction, but who are we to judge if Mickey wants to hit the rails every once in a while! The whistle comes on a key ring and has the sleek-looking Runaway Railway logo on the side in black. We found this whistle at Sport Goofy Gifts and Sundries at All-Star Sports Resort for $12.99.
And as a bonus, we spotted a sneak peek inside the loading area of the attraction on Josh D’Amaro’s Instagram! Check out the super cool Cast Member station with the Runaway Railway logo. It’s totally giving us classic cartoon vibes!
We also love this sweet portrait of Goofy as Employee of the Month! Look how proud he is!
Overall, we’re SUPER PUMPED for this ride to debut in March and we’ll be sure to keep a close eye out on any new news or information.

is that really the cast member costume? boring as all get out, what happened to theme and detail in costumes.
Tonya, this is not the cast member costume for Runaway Railway — just a standard costume.
We read that the train whistle was available at All Star Movies. We went there on 01/21/2020, and the cast member told us that the whistles were recalled. They had no clue as to why.
