ElecTRONica Extended Through Labor Day
From the Disney Parks Blog:
Guests have had so much fun at ElecTRONica, the grid will be open all summer long at Disney California Adventure park!
ElectTRONica is a nighttime celebration that features music, live performances and interactive experiences, and it has become the place to dance the night away. Inspired by the computer-world environment of “TRON: Legacy,” ElecTRONica comes to life each evening in the Hollywood Pictures Backlot. The Disney film “TRON: Legacy” debuted in theaters in December, 2010.
Special featured acts continue to keep the experience fresh. Here are some current highlights of the party:
- DJs keep the energy going with electronic party music while dancers costumed as “Sirens” and “Programs” from the movie rock out at locations throughout the party.
- Dance Crews, including “We Are Heroes,” the first female dance crew to win MTV’s “America’s Best Dance Crew,” bring their signature moves to the Backlot Stage on selected nights.
- Also appearing on the Backlot Stage is LASERMAN, demonstrating his unique talents and skill in a stunning performance that combines music, lights, and lasers.
- An amazing, full-scale model of a Light Cycle from the Disney film “TRON: Legacy.”
- A re-creation of Flynn’s Video Arcade, which was a key location in the “TRON: Legacy” adventure. Gamers shoot for the highest scores as they enjoy classic 1980s arcade games. For ElecTRONica, you can find Flynn’s at the back of the party, near End of Line club.
- Fun food items and glowing beverages.
Be a part of the action and enjoy a fun-filled night of games, music and dance as ElecTRONica electrifies the summer at Disney California Adventure park. Keep watching the Disney Parks Blog for updates on new performers.
If you were visiting ElecTRONica tonight, where would you head to first?
Tail Spin and more on February 25th!
Update: 2/22/11 The Tailspin set from the Disney Afternoons series release has been pushed back to March 4th. Check for it online then!
Big news from Disney today! The first 3″ Disney Afternoons combo pack featuring Tale Spin will be released as an online exclusive on February 25th. Also available the same day at D-Street in Orlando and CA will be the 9″ Park 5 Goofy’s Barnstomer and 9″ Retro Disneyland figures. Here is our take:
Tail Spin
We have been waiting awhile for the Disney Afternoons release, and Disney decided Tail Spin would lead the pack. First off, we get great, fun packaging here.
There are, however a few surprises. First is the Tail Spin release will be exclusive to the Disney Store Online. No word on if the full line of Disney Afternoon figures will be this way. Second, it is a Limited Edition size of only 1000 sets. The retail price is a nice $24.95. And third, its not coming out as a series… so we will see these releases sprinkled over time.
Kit
Baloo. One of my favorite Disney characters. They have done him well here. Love the cap.
Goofy’s Barnstormer
With Toon Town having closed forever on February 11th, Goofy’s Barnstormer is undergoing a theme change, so this figure will pay tribute to the old Toon Town. Here is what Goofy’s Barnstormer will soon become at the Magic Kingdom:
Retro Disneyland
This figure celebrates Disneyland. It is adorned with the the icons of Walt’s vision for Disneyland, mixed with that signature retro colored box theme they use in the logo.
We were getting worried, not having any release dates past this Friday’s Nerds Rock. What do you think about Disney not giving more advaced word about release dates like they used too? Leave your comments on that, Disney Afteroons, Goofy’s Barnstormer or Retro Disneyland below.

More New Star Tours Characters Revealed in New Toys
From StarWars.com:
Two new packages of Star Wars figures exclusive to the Disney Parks should be arriving just in time for Star Tours: The Adventures Continue!
The top row of action figures is the Star Tours Ambush Pack. Among the figures are two of the new Skytroopers, Darth Vader on a platform, and bounty hunter Boba Fett. This is representing the run-in with the Sith Lord guests will have in the attraction.
The bottom line is the Star Tours Travel Agency Pack. Among the figures are pilot C-3PO, Aly San San and the pilot guests are supposed to have, ACE. The figures also give us an early look at two new characters, a luggage droid and another pilot, possibly from one of the rival Starspeeder services. If that’s not enough, there’s even some space luggage!
