First Look & Walkthrough of TRON Identity Program Custom Merchandise Experience at Magic Kingdom

    While TRON Lightcycle Run is enjoying its opening day today, there is one offering that couldn’t quite make the April 4th deadline. The TRON Identity Program, which is a sort of ecosystem of merchandise offerings, was not available to guests with reservations this morning. Days ago, Disney called guests with reservations and offered a $90 gift card and an apology for not being able to honor the original reservation, which was much appreciated. They also honored the exclusive access to the Tomorrowland Launch Depot that would’ve been extended to guests with reservations today. Earlier this morning, we toured the space and you can see our photos in the article below.

    In this article, we’re going to take a closer look at what we could see for the TRON Identity Program and offer a first look at the experience before it officially launches. Cast Members we spoke with were cautiously optimistic that it will open tomorrow. Reservations are highly recommended, but there will be extremely limited walk-up availability.

    The experience is located at the back of the Tomorrowland Lauch Depot gift shop, and guests will likely check in preliminarily at the entrance to the shop, and then again at a checkout area where they will purchase their TRON Identity Program experience before it starts.

    After guests pay for the experience, they will be directed to one of four recording booths as seen below, still hidden by tarps. In the recording booths, guests will receive a digital scan of their face and they will record 6 lines of dialogue from the movie for their action figure to repeat. We’re told the entire experience is self-guided and that guests can rerecord any voice lines that they don’t like before finalizing their action figure.

    Rotating displays showcase the merchandise items that are compatible with the TRON Identity Program.

    There is a display near the check-in/checkout area to the right of the experience that not only gives some background on what the customizable merchandise ecosystem is, but the price of the items as well.

    The TRON Identity Program is $89.99 and includes the TRON Identity Program figure and initial setup of your face and voice that will interact with other merchandise at an additional cost. You can see the Identity Chip in the blue Identity Disc below.

    During the experience, you will customize your TRON Identity Figure with your face and voice. You will also choose which type of figure you’d like. You can mix-and-match different body types with helmets, but once the figure is created, it is not interchangeable. We’re told that the helmet locks into the body and it is set with no way to swap after the fact. Here are the body type/helmet options, followed by a photo of the choices:

    • Enforcer
    • Combatant
    • Scout
    • Heavy Sentry

    You can also buy a pre-loaded Character Identity Chip with known characters from the TRON franchise.

    Two download bays are where guests will pick up their completed action figures, aka Programs. Guests will be asked to return at least one hour after they complete the experience for the download to be ready. After the hour has elapsed, you return with your Identity Chip and scan it at the download station. Your program will then be presented in a show moment and off you go!

    Guests are highly encouraged to use a nearby reader NOT at the download station to see if their Program is ready for pickup. The reader will indicate green as ready for pickup, or red for download still processing.
