Just down the street in a very touristy section of Hollywood Boulevard is the Disney owned El Capitan Theatre. From the street this location exudes a vibe of the carnivalesque and at once you can remember being six again. Hands down, and whether you have children or not, this should be on your list of LA destination locations.
It took us a little while to get around to this magnificent landmark because it's not your normal movie house. In true Disney fashion, the El Capitan Theatre appeals to children and only features Disney movies. From Disney classics to their new releases El Capitan is all Disney, all the time. We decided Peter Pan would be our perfect excuse to go. Next month they'll be showing one of my absolute favorites Lady and the Tramp, and in March they'll have Oz the Great and Powerful.
Like a lot of the theaters I have written about for my blog, it can only be best explained in pictures. And I'll add the same disclaimer I always do - there's only so much my iPhone can capture and although the photos are nice it still does this place no justice.
Here's a beautiful look at the theater's entrance...
And here are pictures of the entrance's ceiling...

FROM THE VERY TOP FAR CORNER! IT'S WAY UP THERE!
THE CEILING ABOVE US
THE SHOW BEGINS - But before the show started someone dressed in a big Jake the Pirate costume (a character from Jake and the Neverland Pirates on the Disney Junior channel) came out and danced and sang. Confetti shot out over all the children sitting below. Their laughter was the cutest and was infectous. I couldn't stop laughing at them laughing! It was the sweetest :) After the performance the lights went out and they pulled the curtains up in the ultimate display of awesomeness.
AND THE SHOW BEGINS
Thanks for looking :)
What a fun few entries on your blog. Very conversational writing, and great pics. As a fellow Angelino, dig the vibe!
