Various Update

In a unique turn of events, we were evacuated from Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, which was an interesting experience! Cast Members helped direct everyone off the ride after one of the vehicles stopped responding.

Back to the front of the ride!

We were directed to walk back from the “Under the Sea” room through all the scenes prior, so we were able to see some of the scenes in a new light (literally!).
