If you grew up in Orange County in the ’80s or ’90s, then you probably hung out at Tomorrowland Terrace (TLT) dancing or know someone who did. It was a wholesome place to pick up on members of the opposite sex, grab a burger, giggle, and dance. Disneyland management is funny about TLT; they go for years running the dance floor as a place for teens to hang out and then stop it because it becomes too crowded, too this, or too that, only to reopen it years later all over again. The cycle seems to have repeated itself over the last 20 or so years.
Well, folks, TLT is BACK and boy does it make me feel OLD! The last time I remember dancing at TLT I was in college and had Will Friedle from the show Boy Meets World on tour. We danced and had a blast. I remember looking over at my friend Millie and yelling, “Can you believe we are getting paid over time for this?” Ahhh, memories. Now, as an old lady of 34, you couldn’t pay me to dance at TLT–even over time pay.
However, if I were a tween or teen, I’m sure that dancing at TLT Dance Club this summer would be right up my alley. Instead of a house band, as in years passed, Disneyland has opted to employ dancers (think cheerleaders) to keep the crowd excited and moving to the beat. Throughout the summer, DJs and bands will rock the terrace with family-friendly hits.
At the press event Thursday, June 11 I hung out with all of the beautiful and super cool people while watching Mitchel Musso, from Hannah Montana, belt out his songs from his new CD. Ummm…I didn’t know who he was or what he was singing, but I was told this information was true, so I’m sticking to it. Check out my photographic evidence…
