Frozen at the El Capitan Theatre - 2013-11-24 - Disney Studio Store and Soda Fountain - Disney Collectibles
I watched Frozen and Disney's El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, California, in an advance screening, on Sunday November 24, 2013. It was a matinee show. I arrived just at the scheduled start time and took my seat. They delayed the start for a few minutes, waiting on late comers. It looked like a full house. The theatre inside was decorated with the wintry scenes from the movie, including Elsa's Ice Castle. There was a pre-show appearance of an ice carving team of two women, who used chain saws and other power tools to carve two large blocks of ice into a snow man. After that the audience was greeted by two face characters dressed as Anna and Elsa, who danced a bit and waved to us. Unfortunately my photos of them were blurry, as they were moving about too quickly. After the show, I went downstairs and looked at the displays, There were giant movie posters with lifesized images of the characters, so people could pose next to them and have their pictures taken. There was also a giant statue of Olaf the snowman with a ukele and Hawaiian grass skirt. In the theatre lobby there was a line to get into the newly re-opened Disney Studio Store and Soda Fountain Shop, which is now rechristened as the Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop. It was way too crowded to attempt to buy anything, especially DSF pins, so I just looked around. I was surprised to see that they were selling the old style (2011) Disney Parks princess dolls, which I think are far superior to the current (2013) versions. As I left the theatre lobby, there was a giant diorama of the Frozen main characters with their heads sticking out of the snow, as in the main Frozen movie poster.
