Mad T Party hours confusion

[RaceCar]

Why does the first show start at 6pm and the second at 6:05? Kind of strange. Then it starts on the hour each hour until 9pm. Is there something unique to that first 5-minutes?

What exactly is this?

Yes. Tweedledee and Tweedledum welcome everyone through the porthole and into the party.

I guess it's like the Electronica thing they did, if you know what that is. I've never done either show yet. I think it's just like a party (that pre-schoolers can also join in) in the backlot. It's Alice in Wonderland themed. I can't post a link yet because I'm only at 9 posts so far. I'll post after this one so I can add the link.

They don't do that each hour? Good to know! We can't miss that.

Here's the Disneyland website link http://disneyland.disney.go.com/disneys-california-adventure/mad-t-party/ . You have to read through it to get a better idea of what's involved.

Mad T Party is this year's version of Eletronica, but with a Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland theme. While there is nothing extremely "adult" about it, I don't think I'd say it was something that would be really geared for pre-schoolers (rock music, alcohol, "rave" style dance party, etc.). At 6:00 pm, Tweedledee and Tweedledum (they don't look anything like the ones in the Alice ride over in DL) greet the guests and do a little show. Then they "open" the portal into the party and the band does it's first show. You can also get into the party for the other end of the street, so you don't have to wait for the Tweedles. It's a lot of fun and I really enjoyed it.

They don't do that each hour? Good to know! We can't miss that.

Just to note, they don't do the show every hour, but they do hang out near the entry to interact with guests and pose for pictures. I don't think they're out there the entire party, but I did see them out there several times during the night. They're pretty funny.
