Going to Disneyland at the end of April. Yeah!! Though I'm not a MJ fan (I listened to The Clash and Depeche Mode back in the 80's) I still want to experience it.

Oh, and if we are really lucky the new "Wonderful World Of Color" will also be presenting.

You always need a vacation in CA, just let us know when you are coming so we can hang out.

We'll see if we can gather up 100 people on this coast to see it with you (and then go ride Mr. Toad).

I love Captain EO. I remember taking my son when he was small and he just kept telling everyone he saw after that " I saw Michael Jackson, I saw Michale Jackson"

I'm wondering how they will bring it back. I saw the movie on YouTube and it was painfully eighties. This will probably be more for nostalgia freaks like me rather than a new audience.

But at least MK is recognizable (LOL) in Captain EO. I'll bet most kids/teens today have no idea what HISTA is about.

I never went to DL or WDW as a child. I know, poor me. But, DH and I are making up for it now by taking our children. I remember hearing about Captain EO and that Michael Jackson was in it. What exactly was the attraction??????

"Captain Eo is regarded as the first '4-D' film (4-D being the name given to a 3-D film which incorporates in-theater effects frame synced to the film narrative)."
