Disneyland Announces the Return of the Mad T Party

February 13, 2015, 2:12 PM · The Disneyland Resort announced today that the Mad T Party will return to Disney California Adventure on May 22.

Mad T Party

The night-time dance party closed late last year to make way for the current Frozen-themed "Freeze the Night" party. While the basic format of the party remains the same — a DJ, a couple of performance stages, specialty cocktails for sale — the Frozen theme simply doesn't have the same appeal to 20-something theme park visitors that the Tim Burton-styled Alice in Wonderland theme did. Couple that with the time of year, and "Freeze the Night" isn't drawing the same sized crowds as Mad T Party did.

Aaand, this is where fans of the ElecTRONica dance party that preceded Mad T Party skip to the comments to complain that ElecTRONica was even better than Mad T Party and Disney should have brought that back, instead. ;^)

What do you think? Which dance party theme did you prefer, or do you think Disney should try something else?

Why not go with a period themed speakeasy "party" with swing dancing. Not based on a film, but incorporating various songs from many films as well as classic big band songs. Has it been done? Yes. Does that mean it's tired? Absolutely not. As a 20-something myself, nothing is more hip and in right now than the classic speakeasy.

For most young people, it would be a completely new experience; and, since no one cares much about those films, the Imagineers could let their imaginations run wild.
