I grew up attending a popular weekend dance club for kids called Studio K (located inside Knott’s Berry Farm. BTW an adorable Facebook fan page can be found here) Studio K played the best music of the time (80’s), The local kids who came just for the evening and the tourists who stumbled upon the ‘nightclub’ scene  in the middle of the amusement park danced side by side. To say it left me with insanely good memories would be an understatement. So when I experienced ElecTRONica at Disney California Adventure over the weekend it all felt very very familiar. Many of the same songs, only they had been ‘funkified’ and were being spun live by a talented DJ.

Of course this is more than just a Disney Rave. There is a full recreation of Flynns Arcade (from Tron movie of course) right down to custom Flynn Arcade tokens. Which I may have kept a few extra cuz they are so awesome. And there are projection shows, movie clip previews, bars with Tron-ish drinks and more. I was pretty surprised to see some of these ladies in painted on costumes doing cage dancing at the dance club area. It was pretty dang sexy for Disney and I kinda loved it. I enjoy seeing Disney embrace their ‘inner adult’ at events like these.

The “ElecTRONica” festivities will take place Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights this fall and nightly during the Christmas vacation period  Friday, Dec. 17, through Sunday, Jan 2. “ElecTRONica” is expected to continue through mid-to-late April 2011. Don’t miss it.
