Mad T Party House of Cards

So over in CA Adventure there’s the Mad T Party, see part 1 here, a rockin’ dance party in Hollywood that lights up the night. I’ll admit I went in rather suspicious. I love Alice in Wonderland and this funked out version could have gone either way for me. I haven’t actually seen the whole latest Alice movie, the live action one. We were at a friend’s backyard movie night and Theo just hit his wall so we had to go home. But I totally digress.

House of Cards

I like to throw in a picture when I’m getting off on a tangent.

Anyway, Mad T Party is quite awesome. It’s got a very high energy vibe. In the earlier entry I talked about the main stage with the live band, and the Drink Me bar. This time I’m hitting the smaller stage and other bar, the House of Cards.

The House of Cards stage is front and center, and you can walk all the way around it. People dance there.

Here’s another view

The dancers play to different parts of the stage.

4 dancers, 4 sides

And the bouncers are Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum.

I love these guys

The House of Cards also has a bar with the same menu as Drink Me.

You can also play air hockey in this area, which reminds me of the number of quarters I dropped into the air hockey tables at the Starcade back in high school. Because I was awesome like that.

I kind of suck at air hockey

Not surprisingly, they did a great job carrying through the card theme of this house of cards.

Dancers and cards

And once the dancers are done, they show a close-up of the white rabbit DJ over on the other stage.

I just completely love this. I can’t really explain why.

And if you’ve got a pair of Glow with the Show ears, they work here too!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cars Land After Dark

One of the coolest things about Cars Land is the way it looks after dark. Which makes sense, because in the movie they make this huge deal of sprucing up all the neon and such.

Why do neon signs make that buzzing noise as they light up? Not a trivia question–I want to know.

Postcard perfect

I knew from my original Cars Land post that Cars Land at night was going to be spectacular. I was so excited to see it all lit up.

Flo’s and Ramone’s

The neon really makes you feel like you’re living the movie.

Of course, there’s my favorite Cars Land eatery area:

I mean seriously, this sign alone is awesomeness

Here’s some more:

Even shots from an angle are awesome

Luigi’s looks particularly cool after dark, although I didn’t ride the ride itself this visit.

Cars Land is not to be missed day OR night.
