Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway may not pull into the station until 2023, but construction is chugging along at Mickey’s Toontown in Disneyland. Walls went up around Toontown Five & Dime and Gag Factory earlier this year, and today, we saw crews actively demolishing the façades.

The former Toontown buildings will become “El Capitoon Theater,” featuring Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, which will serve as the ride’s entrance.
