They make the movie theater experience memorable and exciting. If you're going to get off of Disney+ or Netflix and get out to the theater, this is definitely the way to do it.

Went for Frozen II and the whole theater was transformed into a destination for that movie.
The entire inside wall was covered with giant life-size images of the characters for photo ops,
The auditorium was decorated with the rocks and carvings from the movie,
Autumn leaf confetti showered down at the end of the movie,
And they had an organist playing popular Disney songs on stage before the screening. Weeks later, My 4yo was still talking about the way the organ lowered down into the floor below the stage.
And the movie characters (Anna & Elsa) came out on stage before the movie started.

Make sure to get there at least 30 mins before the showtime because of the line getting in and the preshow events.

If you park across the street at Hollywood & Highland center, they validate for 4 hours. I think you still have to pay a flat fee, but cheaper than if you didn't get validation.
