While attending Disney’s Pin Celebration – Trade City U.S.A. last weekend, WDWNT Network staff member Cody Smith took a picture of an interesting “Disney Robots” pin set that will be released at the Disneyland “Sci-Fi Academy” pin event next year:
The center robot is labeled as originating from Star Tours in 2011. If that is any indication, ALY SAN SAN will be a flight attendant droid when Star Tours re-opens at Disneyland and Walt Disney World next year. This droid may even be the female voice announcing the arrival of the Star Speeder 1000 on the special preview vehicle toy that was released at Star Wars Celebration V in August. Whether the droid will be represented in audio-animatronics or simply on screen is unknown at this point, but stay tuned to WDW News Today as more information on Star Tours: The Adventures Continue” becomes available.

As they say in the digital world of TRON, “Greetings, Programs!” Today, we’re sharing concept art that gives you a first look at the new party we’re calling ElecTRONica. I’m told it’s the greatest nighttime dance party to ever rock Disney California Adventure park.
Beginning October 8, the interactive, digital world of “TRON: Legacy” will light up Hollywood Pictures Backlot as we gear up for the film’s release on December 17. This will be a cool opportunity to peek inside the world of this movie, and it’s available only to visitors of Disney California Adventure park.
It’s an “electrifying” experience for the entire family, filled with music, lights and some of your favorite food and beverage, all set amidst the captivating world of “TRON: Legacy!” From a dazzling dance club under the stars to an authentic recreation of Flynn’s Arcade to some radical gaming, it’s like nowhere else on the grid! Each night, we’ll feature live entertainers, complete with lasers, glow accessories and the hottest music ever to rock the grid. ElecTRONica is “the” place to dance the night away in a fantastic world that only Disney can create. Highlights for the entire family will definitely be Flynn’s Video Arcade, face painting and the TRON: Evolution video game area.
ElecTRONica will transform Disney California Adventure park Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays this Fall. TRON fans and families can also enjoy the party seven days a week during Thanksgiving week and Christmas week.
Stay tuned to the Disney Parks Blog, as we’ll be sharing additional details soon, and if you want to stay up-to-date with the latest happenings on ElecTRONica, follow us on Twitter, @Disneyland.

It seems our favorite little dragon endured a major malfunction last night. During the 9:00 showing of Fantasmic!, Murphy, about half-way through her performance, suddenly leaned forward with her snout almost touching the stage. The show was immediately canceled and the Mist Screens went up to attempt to block the view. Uh-Oh!!
If you look closely at the picture below, notice the tear in the neck of the figure…
The second showing was canceled that night. Disney has announced that Fantasmic! will continue to show without the Dragon. Tonight (8/29/10) is the last night of Summer Nightastic for The Disneyland Resort for 2010. Fantasmic is now only scheduled to show Friday through Sunday through September.

The Disneyland News Today Podcast proudly presents…DLNT FANtastic Feud!
After the months of waiting, the Disneyland News Today Podcast would like to announce the premiere of our very first GAME SHOW! It will be modeled after the popular game show Family Feud. The DLNT podcast team will go head-to-head to find out who knows our fans better. Where does the FANtastic part come in? That’s where you come in. We need YOU…that’s right, you, the fans…to help us put this show together. We need you to complete a short survey relating to the Disneyland Resort in order to put together the statistics needed for the show. The more people we get to complete the survey, the better. So call up your friends and tell them to do it. Get your mom to do it. Get your dog to do it. Even non-Disney fans can do it. All the cool people are doing it. The show cannot go on without your help. The Game Show will debut on Episode 40 of the Disneyland News Today Podcast.
So go to The Survey Site and complete our survey!
Some things to remember:
1. You may only take the survey once per IP address so make it count!
2. This survey ONLY applies to the Disneyland Resort (this includes Disneyland, Disney California Adventure, Downtown Disney, and all Disney owned hotels).
3. Answer honestly with how YOU would answer it and not how you think other people would answer it.
4. You don’t have to answer every question. If you can’t think of something for any question feel free to skip it.
HAVE FUN!
This survey will close on October 1st, 2010 . So hurry and fill it out now!
