I was invited to attend the Jungle Cruise Opening Night with D23 event at Disney’s El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood on Thursday, July 29,2021. The event included a Skipper Hat, Dole Whip, drink and popcorn for all who attended. Introductory remarks were made by Michael Vargo, the president of D23, and Bob Chapek, the CEO of the Walt Disney Company. There were also photo opportunities in the lobby and costumes on display from the film.
Here are some cell phone pictures and video of my experience:
