Did You Know Disneyland Resort Used To Have a Nighttime Party Called ElecTRONica?
TRON is all the rage at Disney World right now, as Lightcycle / Run celebrates its recent debut. But, did you know that the Disneyland Resort used to have an epic nighttime party called ElecTRONica?
ElecTRONica
Located in Hollywood Land in Disney California Adventure, it lasted a year and a half, running between 2010 and 2012. It debuted a few months prior to the release of TRON: Legacy, the sequel to the original TRON film.
This is one of my favorite events from my years as an Annual Passholder. It ranks right up there with Frozen Fun, which brought a plethora of rare activities to the Park, including sledding down a real snow hill. (I’ll cover that in another article!)
Shows
Hollywood Land was transformed with awesome, futuristic decor.
There were some epic shows, boasting electronic music, lights, and lasers.
Flynn’s Arcade / End of Line Club
Flynn’s Arcade was recreated in Stage 12, while the Hollywood Lounge became the End of Line Club.
It was an awesome sight to behold, especially for fans of the franchise, myself included!
Lightcycle
There was even a Lightcycle on hand to take pictures with. I remember one particular evening fondly, as it was the first time we took our one-year-old son out past his bedtime!
Walking into the area, you couldn’t help but be immersed in the story. I was sad to see it go, but eventually, it was replaced with Mad T Party, donning an Alice in Wonderland theme.
Disneyland has offered many fantastic events over the years, especially surrounding new movie premieres. That being said, this one will always reign as my favorite!
Disney World recently celebrated its own ElecTRONica, but the festivities began over a decade ago at the Happiest Place on Earth. Before TRON became a ride at Shanghai Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resort, it was a party at Disneyland.
