Following the film, guests can also enjoy a rock climbing wall, a bounce house, a video arcade, and competitive games themed to the film (Narissa’s Poison Apple Toss, Central Park Bounce, Bus Stop Boogie, and Nathaniel’s Taxi Race).

Commenting on the announcement, Breier said, “El Capitan guests are in for a wonderful holiday treat with this very special engagement of ‘Enchanted’ and the fun-filled “Disney’s Enchanted Experience.” With over 3-1/2 hours of entertainment and activities, this is truly a unique and fantastic experience for families and everyone from age 2 to 92 who loves Disney magic and fantasy. ‘Enchanted’ is the perfect holiday offering and seeing it at the El Capitan Theatre is the most enchanted way to experience this exciting new Disney musical-adventure.”

The real world and the animated world collide in Walt Disney Pictures’ “Enchanted.” Featuring an all-star cast, the film follows the beautiful princess Giselle (AMY ADAMS) as she is banished by an evil queen (SUSAN SARANDON) from her magical, musical animated land and finds herself in the gritty reality of the streets of modern-day Manhattan. Shocked by this strange new environment that doesn’t operate on a “happily ever after” basis, Giselle is now adrift in a chaotic world badly in need of enchantment. But when Giselle begins to fall in love with a charmingly flawed divorce lawyer (PATRICK DEMPSEY) who has come to her aid -- even though she is already promised to a perfect fairy tale prince (JAMES MARSDEN) back home – she has to wonder: can a storybook view of romance survive in the real world?

“Enchanted”is directed by Kevin Lima (“Tarzan,” “102 Dalmatians”) from a screenplay written by Bill Kelly (“Blast From the Past”)and will feature original songs from the reunited team of acclaimed composer Alan Menken and lyricist Stephen Schwartz (“Pocahontas,” “Hunchback of Notre Dame”).
