Back in December the folks at Disney announced that Captain EO, the classic 3D film that stars Michael Jackson and showed exclusively at Disney theme parks in the 80′s and 90′s, would be returning to the parks this month. I am THRILLED to pass along the news that Captain EO will begin showing again starting this Tuesday February 23:

Since we first announced the return of “Captain EO” on the Disney Parks Blog, there has been an incredible response from fans, and we’ve received many enthusiastic emails and phone calls asking exactly when the classic “Captain EO” attraction featuring Michael Jackson will reopen. Today, we are excited to give you an update on the Captain’s return! On Tuesday, February 23, as a tribute to the magic, music and messages of “Captain EO,” the 3-D musical adventure is returning to the Tomorrowland theater in which it debuted. While it’s not possible to replicate some special effects elements from the original presentation, it will boast a new 70mm print of the film, and it will sound better than ever thanks to acoustic enhancements made to the theater since the film last played there in 1997.

I understand there will be a special line set up for guests who only want to see Captain EO without visiting the park. Because I have an annual pass, I am planning to visit Disneyland on Tuesday to see the film AND play in the park :) Woot!! How many of you Southern Californians will meet me at Disney on Tues?
