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.

Captain EO is one of those Disneyland attractions that is polarizing with long time visitors. The 80’s babies, such as myself, consider it one of the most defining things about going to Disneyland in the 80’s and 90’s. The older visitors don’t like it at all and think it never had and still doesn’t have a place in Disneyland. I’m guessing that there are more people than not that are excited about EO’s return. Tuesday is going to be a very busy day at Disneyland and I will be there with my camera to document the whole thing.

The fantastic Disney news blog “Disney and more” is reporting that an official announcement about the return of Captain EO is on the way.

According to the Hollywood Reporter – and to my sources, too! – Captain Eo should come back at Disneyland next January. Apparently the huge success of the “this is it” documentary – 220 Milion $ worldwide in two weeks had some effects on the WDC.

As a kid growing up in the 80’s that took weekly trips to Disneyland this was, hands down, my favorite thing to do at the park. Sometimes I would watch it multiple times a trip. I can’t wait!

Update: Hollywood Reporter is also reporting that Disney is thinking about doing a red carpet premier for the return of EO.

Q: Is there anything on this planet cooler than the Monorail?

A: No there is not.

The Monorail is the most amazing thing I have ever seen in my life. Whenever I go to Disneyland and happen to see the Monorail glide by I am frozen in my tracks and all the thoughts in my head cease as I gaze at that beauty.
