Live now: Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway wait & status
Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway at Disney’s Hollywood Studios reached its first Lightning Lane sellout at 8:07 AM ET on Friday, October 9, according to SupaPark’s live data. As of Friday, October 9 at 8:08 AM ET, that was 1h 30m earlier than its trailing 15-day average first-sellout time of 9:37 AM ET.
SupaPark’s tracking measured the sellout through live Lightning Lane availability monitoring with per-minute polling. The data point reflects the day’s first sellout event for Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, not a Disney announcement.
The key context is the gap: today’s 8:07 AM ET first sellout came well before the attraction’s recent 9:37 AM ET average first-sellout time. For a Hollywood Studios day, that makes Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway a tighter early Lightning Lane target than its recent pattern suggested.

What it means for your trip
If Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway is a priority, do not treat it like a casual leftover pick. It is a Lightning Lane Multi Pass attraction, so the better move is to include it in your advance selection plan if it matters to your group, then keep watching for refills during the day.
At Hollywood Studios, your biggest scheduling risk is stacking too many popular attractions into the same early window. If Runaway Railway availability is moving faster than usual, protect your must-do first and use standby or later refills for the attractions your group can live without.
SupaPark’s Lightning Lane alerts can help here: it can ping you when availability returns, then you grab the selection yourself in My Disney Experience.
