I wonder what kind of go-go dancers it will have, haha! Would be cool if they included some kind of walk-thru where you could experience some of the awesome settings from the movie. But, I'm not holding my breath on that. Looking forward to seeing it, although it may mean a lot more trips to the Resort than I'd like! GlowFest kept me coming back over and over the summer it ran. And, I don't even drink or dance!

Yes, nice summation Princessjenn and LOL!! and so true Yookeroo We never went to GlowFest, I don't remember why. Electronica was fun the one time we went with LPers but on our own we didn't bother going. I'm looking forward to the T Party. If they go with the play list posted, I actually know most of the songs

Note to DCA bigwigs (and you know who you are), try responding to what works. If it's not broke, don't try to fix it! GlowFest was the cat's mee-oww! All ages could enjoy it. Tron fit a narrow demographic, Tea Party will expand on Tron's crowd, but GlowFest will forever be the best.
Originally Posted By fzzybddy OK, now that this T-party thing has been running for a while, it's time to comment. From what I see on utube, it appears to be pretty lame.

However, how much can a slinky do? Glowfest had people of all types and ages joining in. It was FUN ! Progress, huh, ? PHOOEY !!! T.T.F.N.

Originally Posted By fzzybddy Sounds like TP2000 might be one of elecTronica or T Party designers. You cannot defend a lousy idea, even if u-tube is not your cup of "tea". But don't worry, ignorance is bliss. Plenty of DCA guests will enjoy it. I won't.
