Absolutely loved it. Wish it was longer!! It was a bit difficult to make it to a 6:15pm showtime on a work night but we barely made it :)

It was great. We couldn’t get out birthday candle photos for some reason. Good parking but could not find valet. It would have been nice for the greeters to recognize elderly and guide us in and out. We asked and they helped. I’m just a little more sensitive to the needs of my mom. She’s 87, out and about. Not disabled or handicapped. Getting out of theatre the ushers could have been more heads up and guided us from our seats to the building exit. I’m just old school San Diego guy. We always look out for elderly legends:)
