Mad T Party was a nighttime event at Disney California Adventure, part of the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California. Anchored in the Hollywood Studios subsection of the Hollywood Land section of the park, Mad T Party premiered on June 15, 2012, the same day the park was re-dedicated.[1] The event, which succeeded ElecTRONica, is inspired by Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland.[2] Mad T Party closed on November 30, 2014.[3] On December 5, 2014 it was announced that its temporary replacement would be "Freeze the Night! A Family Dance Party", inspired by Disney's animated film Frozen. "Freeze the Night!" ran through May 15, 2015.[4] On February 13, it was announced that Mad T Party would return on May 22 as part of the 60th Anniversary Diamond Celebration [5]

Features

Located in between the Muppet*Vision 3D theatre and Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue!, Mad T Party contains numerous activities.[7]

House of Cards

The House of Cards is where the event's other acts are found. Performers include the Hottest Deck in Town who are professional dancers and an aerial act by The Dueling Queens. The stage's overhead structure is designed to look like its namesake — an LED-lit house of cards.[8]

In keeping with the eclectic setting of the film, music by contemporary artists such as Bruno Mars, The Beatles, Maroon 5, Prince, No Doubt and Lady Gaga have played.[9]

Drink Me

Drink Me is a cocktail club that offers alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages with names that are appropriate to the Alice in Wonderland theme, e.g., the Croquette Tini (which the staff describes as a Cosmo), the Mad Hat-ito and the Mad Long Island Iced T.[7][10]

Mad Arcade

Similar to Flynn's Arcade at ElecTRONica, the Mad Arcade hosts interactive games based on characters from the film. There are games such as "Whack-A-Hat" and "Bandersnatch Ball"[11]
