Great! Love the nostalgia. The employees are great as always. Love the effects, the Oregon player, the introduction to the movie, and everything that leads up to the movie. Always such a pleasant visit to the El Capitan theater. Thank you so much.

I attended the FYC Fest last Sunday where Jimmy Kimmel introduced Norman Lear, "King of Comedy" and prolific writer of over 100 shows. We were greeted by a marvelous organist, then screened two of Lear's top shows, "Facts of Life" and "Diff'rent Strokes," featuring the original casts. Mr. Lear will turn 100 years old July 27 and is still working. Bravo and many Congrats to this H'wood icon!

Excellent movie! Being first today Nrw Years day I got a gift!! Great surprise! I will go back & highly recommend for all to go & enjoy "EL Capitan"

The most beautiful theater experience. Disney really restored this classic theater to all its glory. I highly recommend you show up early to take in the organ player before the show as well as a great movie.

Questions & Answers

How much are the tickets?

amalia sauceda | Aug 22, 2018
Eugene B. | Aug 22, 2018

It all depends on the showing, and seating. The VIP tickets are a bit more expensive, but it also came with a bucket of popcorn and bottled soda of ones choice. To me that was cheaper than buying them separately. As an example, my event was for the movie Coco. 2 VIP tickets balcony-center. Seats row AA 101,102. Included was a souvenir popcorn tub and a 20oz twist-top drink. Reserved seating. Price was $26 per ticket. I'd recommend going online to order your tickets, as they sell out quickly. Don't bother with will-call... print out your tickets, or try showing them on your phone.

It is a "hit-or-miss". Actors are regular people, too, and enjoy the movies. It's in Hollywood so you have a good chance to spot one or two.

Arthur Breton | Aug 22, 2019

It was before the movie, and the $3 parking is in back of the Dolby theater, you need to scan your parking ticket inside El Capitan theater to make sure it gets validated or you're gonna pay more!!! The parking lot in the backside of El Capitan theater charges $30......, way to much!!!

No free parking, there are several parking structures across or around the corner from the theater. One of which you can get validated at theatre and would be only $2.00 just make sure you take the stub with you!

Who can i contact for information to attend world premier events?

Kris Garz | Aug 21, 2021
Zachary Scruggs | Aug 21, 2021

No one. They're invite only. They invite Disney bloggers sometimes, so that might be a way in, but typically it's invited guests only. Occasionally, they invite fans to fill a bleacher section, but you have to be "known" as a mega-fan. If you really want to try to contact someone, look into Disney Special Events, but it's not like just buying a ticket. Sorry if this isn't the answer you're looking for, but I've been working with Disney on these events since 2015, and they're pretty locked down. You're always welcome to watch from the sidewalk on Hollywood Blvd.
