Like the previous three films the movie will premiere on an outdoor screen at Disneland Park. The premiere itself will be closed to the public but a limited number of guests will be able to view the stars as they travel the red carpet. But if you <i>really</i> want to see the movie, you can purchase a ticket for $1,000 will proceeds benefiting the Boys & Girls Clubs of America. </p>

Originally Posted By calgrl2490 Has anyone ever been to the premieres with a ticket? $1000 is a lot of money for me but my 21st bday was awhile ago and I have some bday money. Is it worth it? You don't walk the carpet with the celebs right? (I'm assuming that's a big no but your not part of the crowd behind the barriers are you) Johnny Depp is my favorite actor bar none so I'm just wondering if I'll even get a glimpse of him or if I should just save my money. It is good that it's all going to charity though.

Originally Posted By TP2000 While I have no interest in this event, and will steer far clear of Anaheim that weekend because of it, I think it's cool that Disney would donate big bucks to the Boys & Girls Club because of it. Classy move, Disney!
Originally Posted By SuperDry I attended the Pirates 3 premiere. You do get to walk the red carpet right along with the celebs. The procession goes on for like 2.5 hours. Most of the non-celeb guests entered toward the beginning, so they could take full advantage of the buffet dinner and private access to HM, POTC, Indy, BTMRR, and JC for a couple of hours. But which celebs you are walking right next to down the red carpet is entirely dependent on the timing of when you happen to walk it and who else is there at the time. Since the celebs are paying attention to the media and the fans, it would be a bit awkward to butt in and start talking to them, but in principle there's nothing to stop you from doing so. The biggest names will have their own security with them.

Originally Posted By TP2000 Fascinating SuperDry! Thanks for the run down. Although I have no interest in it, I think I would just walk down the red carpet early and head right on in to the big buffet and a few rides on the E Tickets with no lines! Maybe bring my dad along for the fun. That's almost worth the thousand bucks for charity. Almost. ;-)

Just a classy way to get the fans in, with a big check handed to a very worthy charity, and a big marketing publicity event all wrapped in to one. So classy. And yet so smart. Bravo Burbank and TDA!
