El Capitan Theatre is one of Hollywood’s longest-surviving landmarks, thanks to a massive restoration from the Walt Disney Company. Now, it offers a Disney experience you can’t get anywhere else.
Once the premieres are over, it becomes a regular movie theater — although “regular” is oversimplifying the experience. As you might expect from Disney, El Capitan Theatre is more than just a theater, and a movie is more than just a movie there. Productions at El Capitan are enhanced by special effects, and there are many surprises throughout the theater, like photo-ops and exhibits of costumes and screen-used props.
I arrived at the screening early and stopped at the concession stand for a Mickey pretzel, just like the ones you can get in the parks, and popcorn that tasted like it had come from Disneyland too. I sat in the first row of the balcony, eating my snacks and listening to the orchestral music from the movie I was about to see. Inside the two boxes where VIPs used to sit, Disney had constructed two underwater-looking displays of “treasure” that could have been found in Ariel’s grotto.
