El Capitan

El Capitan ranks 7th on the list of best movie theaters in Los Angeles. Do you want to relive your childhood by watching a Disney film? The lavish 1926-built theater screens classics such as Cinderella, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Finding Nemo, as well as first-run films from Disney companies such as Pixar and Marvel. Tickets are more expensive than at a typical cinema, but where else can you see a 2,500-pipe organ being played before the show?

There are two tours of El Capitan available if you want to brush up on your Hollywood history and get a peek inside. The 30-minute Disney Movie Palace & Backstage Tour ($15, 8:30am) takes you into the dressing rooms, behind the curtain, and, of course, inside the theater auditorium, with a close-up photo opportunity with the grand Wurlitzer organ. The 15-minute Express Tour ($9) is available throughout the day, but due to scheduled screenings, it will most likely not take you inside the actual auditorium. They'd definitely prefer the longer tour (walk-ups are welcome at both), but nothing beats simply settling in for a movie.
