The problem with a taxi ... being a 35 mile drive .. can hit your wallet pretty good. Perhaps someone here knows of a shuttle or bus service. There is one way to take Orange County's only rail system up there. You could find your way to one of two Metrolink stations (Fullerton/Harbor Blvd, or Edison Field/Kattella Ave.) .. take the Metrolink to Union station .. and switch to LA's RED line subway .. and take it to Hollywood and Highland. That's quite an adventure .. can be a lot of fun .. but just a warning - Time consuming. But still fun!

There are also props and costumes to see in the lobby areas and Captain Jack and some other characters to entertain you while you wait. We had a GREAT time! Be sure to stay to the very end of the movie and see the surprise after the credits.
