Downtown Disney Movie Theater

[Winnie]

Question: Has anyone ever been to the movie theater at Downtown Disney for opening night/weekend for a Disney Movie? We are wondering if they do anything special for it. Cars is opening the night we arrive.

Thanks for your input ahead of time!

I was there for the opening of a Bug's Life when I did the College Program. I don't remember if them doing anything huge. I do remember that we wore shirts and accessories to the movie because we loved the characters so much before the movie even came out. I think they had special drinks and candy that werebug themed and they were giving away posters and stickers. I would call the theatre and ask to speek to speak to the promotions manager or regular manager. Have fun

Well, I was there for the opening night of Freddy Vs. Jason, and I really wish I'd paid to see something else.........

My wife and I are seeing Pirates this Friday at the PI AMC, and I'm hoping they do something cool.

Is it bad that I want to see the ride remodel and the movie so badly that I rented a room at ASMusic? :P

I did the opening of Valiant there last year and nothing was special about it, including the film. LOL

Came to florida for two weeks at christmas and spent my wife Shells birthday watching Chronicles of Narnia at that cinema it was an amazing experience as we dont have as many screens at our local cinema, the children enjoyed it too.

Not sure about WDW, but off the top of my head I think they once did a premier of Princess Diaries 2 at the Disneyland AMC Theater once. Other than that, I don't think Disney films actually get any special treatment here on the west coast. Of course you can be guaranteed that if there's a Disney film in general release it will be playing at DL DTD, but there are no special events, lobby displays, freebies, etc.

No we never stopped in there. Friends have & did see a movie but not sure it was a opening movie. Sorry.

DH and DD went to AMC at DTD for the opening weekend of the lastest Bond movie. Nothing special happened, but then it wasn't a Disney movie either. We go to AMC for all our movies since it's the closest one to our house. DD and I went to see Nixon/Frost last night. West side was VERY busy. Even parking lot 5 looked to be very full. Our movie cost $7.00 each; just in case you were wondering.
