Great place to see movies & to get the Disney experience. The theater has an organist, a basement for exclusive movie props, and opportunities to have Fan events for all Disney films. Though in the middle of Hollywood, they partnered to the mall across to get parking at a reasonable price.

I gave this place 4 stars not because of the location or the exclusive nature for fan events, but the seating. Yes, the seats are small and can be uncomfortable when staying there too long, like a film that lasts more than 2 hours and a half. Now, please note that I did two (2) movie marathons there and have stayed the night at this amazing theater. My only wish is that they improve the seats like Arclight, AMC, or Regal theatres that have adjusted to the times. I understand the historical context of this theater where many films over many decades have been played, but the comfort of being in a theater where there is enough leg room for another person to pass without standing is not asking too much. Overall, a great place and I would love to recommend anyone who is visiting LA to at least see a film there, but be warned if you are taller than 5'8" like my girlfriend leg room will be tight. Other than this I would gladly go to El Capitan and see another Star Wars movie marathon if the opportunity presented itself.
