This isn't the first time Disney has shown off ASIMO or any Honda-related thing (eventual Honda-Disney partnership  ??? ), but it's still Interesting.  Sorry, I don't remember, but where in Disneyland was this?  The area where those pictures were taken does not look familiar to me (almost doesn't look like Disneyland at all).

Thanks for sharing.

Its in tomorrowland inside what used to be called the carousel of progress (now called innoventions), now holds a futuristic household with tons of home automation.

I halfway expected it to be in there.  It's a cool part of the park, but a lot of stuff in there is really outdated; at least it was when I was there.  Also there isn't any rides in there (so it would be boring to most people).

Hmm, I wonder if ASIMO met that Tom Morrow robot at the front of Innoventions?  He probably would scare ASIMO out of its mini EVA suit (I wouldn't blame it).  :P
