When does it open?

Friday, June 15 is the official grand opening date of the all-new DreamWorks Theater featuring the premier attraction, “Kung Fu Panda: The Emperor’s Quest.”
​

Where is it at?

The newly constructed building that houses the DreamWorks Theater is inspired by Mission revival architecture and harkens back to the Golden Age of Hollywood’s Art Deco period of the 1920s, including a box office ticket seller booth, reminiscent of the time period and staffed by a three-dimensional usher asleep on the job.

It is located in the upper lot, just where you used to find Shrek.
