Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway Train Revealed

Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Train

Walt Disney World’s Hollywood Studios has seen some big changes in the last couple of years, but Disney is not done yet. In the spring of 2020, they are set to open a new ride that will come as a welcome child-friendly option for families coming to a park that has had a reputation of being for the big kids. Well stand aside and let the Mousketeers through because it’s almost time for Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway!

The ride is based on the newer Mickey Mouse cartoons and will feature a trackless ride system, which seems to be the direction of many new rides across the parks. Goofy will be the conductor of the train that guests will board, while Mickey and Minnie ride alongside in their roadster, prepared to help ward off any mayhem ahead!

Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway Train Revealed

At this year’s D23 Expo, attendees have had the privilege and pleasure of being the first to see Goofy’s crazy train. It, like the cartoons that inspired it, shows a great deal of color and whimsy. Guests will enjoy seeing a life-sized version when the attraction opens, not to mention getting to ride in it! Costumes for cast members have also been unveiled, again with a bright color palette and the overall appearance of a conductor’s or train staff’s uniform.

Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway Train Revealed

Guests are eager to see where this ride will take them, as it promises to go beyond reality and into a wacky cartoon world that defies natural law. Parents, prepare yourselves, your children will be asking to ride Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway over and over again!

The massive project was created by Tyson Leavitt, who brought the wizarding world of Harry Potter to the backyard of Dave and Ruby Dunlop. Also known as the greatest grandparents ever by Harry Potter fans around the world.

Magical Grandparents Built 350sqft Harry Potter Themed Playhouse for Grandchildren

“My daughter and her [friend] are huge Harry Potter fans – but none of us really know how to design a building, let alone a playhouse!”, says Dave regarding the impressive structure, “We felt it would be so neat if Logan had a special place for her to come and play with at Pa’s and Gram’s. So we gave Tyson full creative freedom.”

Magical Grandparents Built 350sqft Harry Potter Themed Playhouse for Grandchildren

“My son and his wife got a playhouse built for them by Tyson too, and it was delivered the same time as ours – so we’re somewhat loyal customers! It got exactly the reaction we’d hoped for.”

Magical Grandparents Built 350sqft Harry Potter Themed Playhouse for Grandchildren

“You should see her face when she’s using the playhouse. We’re so thrilled with it. All our friends and neighbours are impressed with it too,” Dave beamed,  “It’s a popular addition to our community, with many stopping to look and take pictures.”

One of my personal favorite touched is the bridge to the owlery in the Hogwarts Castle portion of the playhouse.

Magical Grandparents Built 350sqft Harry Potter Themed Playhouse for Grandchildren

Tyson Leavitt, runs a small family business called: Charmed Playhouses. Leavitt builds luxury playhouses for clients in North America, as well as the UK, China, and Mexico. We have a feeling his services will be requested all around the world from here on out!

Tyson described the playhouses he makes for children of all ages as “custom homes, but smaller scale and with way more fantasy”.

Magical Grandparents Built 350sqft Harry Potter Themed Playhouse for Grandchildren

“When our granddaughter came out the second time to play, she asked if she could go to ‘her house’. Even a month since it was set up, every time she comes outside, she spends time in it. Gram and her absolutely love to have tea in the little kitchen and lose track of the time.”

Magical Grandparents Built 350sqft Harry Potter Themed Playhouse for Grandchildren

The Harry Potter inspired playhouse has many nods to the books and films and incorporates the Hogwarts Castle, Ollivander’s wand shop, Platform 9¾, and part of the Dursleys’ Privet Drive home. Some notable details are the inclusion of brooms, full set of Harry Potter books, Logan’s framed Hogwarts acceptance letter, and portraits of Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger.

Magical Grandparents Built 350sqft Harry Potter Themed Playhouse for Grandchildren

The playhouse is riddled with similarly themed furnishings and decorations to the films and books. There is a bed for Logan when she spends the night at her grandparents and an electric fireplace on the bottom floor for the winter so they can still utilize the playhouse in the winter

Magical Grandparents Built 350sqft Harry Potter Themed Playhouse for Grandchildren

If all that wasn’t enough, Dave shared their plans to add an addition to the playhouse. “We hope to have a zip line attached in five to six years, which will go from the balcony of the Hogwarts tower down to the ground.”

Magical Grandparents Built 350sqft Harry Potter Themed Playhouse for Grandchildren

Tyson said, “The Dunlops are elated to have the playhouse in their backyard as it will become the pinnacle of family memories for years to come.”

Tron Costumes Preview at D23 Expo

Tron costumes

Back in 2017, at the D23 Expo, Walt Disney World fans were promised that a Tron roller coaster would be on its way to the Magic Kingdom in 2021. Now, in 2019, that experience is feeling closer than ever. At this year’s D23 Expo, guests are getting a first look at some of the details surrounding the new Tron roller coaster, already popular in Shanghai. New ride means new cast member threads, which were just unveiled to the public.

Tron Costumes Preview at D23 Expo

The outfits are clearly influenced by the 2010 version of the film ”Tron: Legacy, ” while not straying far from the image of the 1983 original classic ”Tron.” The sleek black uniforms are a welcome sight to lovers of the cult classic, who’ll recognize a bit of Sam and Quorra in the bold lines across the fronts of the tops.

Tron Costumes Preview at D23 Expo

For those who were not fans of either film  or maybe neglected to see them entirely, what needs to be known is that the ride will simulate the inside of a virtual reality game. Guests will be invited to ride a light cycle (pictured above), the vehicle of choice in the ”Tron” films. It will be a blast through the digital world that promises to thrill anyone tall enough to ride. It has, after all, become the top-rated ride in Disneyland Shanghai.

With the new Tron attraction set to open in Tomorrowland in 2021, fans think it’s all over but the waiting. However, every new detail that comes out only proves that it’s a ride worth waiting for.

“When my father [Stan Lee] died, no one from Marvel or Disney reached out to me. From day one, they have commoditized my father’s work and never shown him or his legacy any respect or decency,” said a furious Lee. “In the end, no one could have treated my father worse than Marvel and Disney’s executives.”

Many fans have responded to Lee online claiming her behavior has been questionable as well. Claims are being made that she is merely responding for the publicity and some hateful comments online suggest that she rides on the back of her fathers success and is unhappy that the deals do not allow for her to reap the financial benefits of her fathers work.

Though that is all speculation by disgruntled fans it seems Lee has poked the hornets nest and has been seeing retaliation from angered Marvel Fans on social media.

Disney has yet to comment on the negotiations, but Sony has shared a formal statement that remains relatively vague and appears to only imply that Kevin Feige is separating from the franchise and does not confirm Marvel Studios separation from Spider-Man.

“Much of today’s news about Spider-Man has mischaracterized recent discussions about Kevin Feige’s involvement in the franchise. We are disappointed, but respect Disney’s decision not to have him continue as a lead producer of our next live action Spider-Man film.  We hope this might change in the future, but understand that the many new responsibilities that Disney has given him – including all their newly added Marvel properties – do not allow time for him to work on IP they do not own. Kevin is terrific and we are grateful for his help and guidance and appreciate the path he has helped put us on, which we will continue.”

Though Feige’s involvement in the franchise has seemingly ended, lead man Tom Holland and Director, Jon Watts, are reportedly still contracted for at least 2 more Spider-Man films with Sony. Producer Amy Pascal is said to take over Feige’s role in the Spider-Man films for Sony.

There are plenty of reports stating that Disney and Sony are still in negotiations and that Sony has been more willing to talk after stocks began to plummet and investors began to panic after the initial reports came out about the split. We remain hopeful that an agreement can be made between Disney and Sony and that Tom Holland’s Spider-Man can stay in the MCU.

Magic Kingdoms Allows Signs One Day Only For ‘College Gameday’

Magic Kingdoms Allows Signs One Day Only For College Gameday

Many fans were in an uproar last week when they heard that ‘College Gameday‘, which is being filmed at the Magic Kingdom on August 24, would not allow signs into the park. Signs are a tradition for ‘College Gameday’ fans, as many claimed it just wouldn’t be the same without them. I am more than happy to announce that Disney is changing its policy on signs for one day only, and there are a few rules to follow. Here is the official press release from ESPN:

  • Supporting the time-honored tradition of handheld signs during “College GameDay” broadcasts, we are making an exception for Guests to bring college football signs to Magic Kingdom Park on Aug. 24 only. Signs are only permitted in the broadcast viewing area until noon. After the broadcast, signs may be recycled in the park or returned to a vehicle or resort room.
  • Signs must be handheld (no poles, sticks or extensions) and may not contain commercial, derogatory, vulgar or political content. Blank signs or dry erase boards will not be permitted. Signs may not exceed 3’ x 5’ in size. Guests bringing signs to the park will not be able to board the Epcot and Resort Monorail and will be screened at the Transportation and Ticket Center or the Magic Kingdom bus loop. Signs are subject to approval and may not be allowed.
  • Valid theme park admission is required.

I am more than excited to let you know about this because ‘College Gameday’ just isn’t the same without the sea of signage. ‘College Gameday’ will be broadcasting live from the Magic Kingdom on August 24, 2019, and simultaneously airing on ESPN at 9:00 a.m. EST.

In case you missed it, here is the official announcement from Coach Lee Corso himself.
