Previously announced to open in 2022, the attraction is now scheduled to debut in 2023, complete with an “El CapiTOON” Theater facade. In a recent interview with Bob Weis, president of Walt Disney Imagineering, it was hinted at that the project was in fact delayed, but still moving forward “in stages.”

Unlike Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, which takes place inside the Chinese Theatre, guests will step into the El CapiTOON Theater at Disneyland, where Mickey and Minnie are premiering their newest short, “Perfect Picnic.”

Before you enter the cinema, you’ll experience a special exhibit created by the Toontown Hysterical Society featuring costumes and props from the toon world.
