Disney Classics Film Festival at Dubai Opera
Dubai Opera is hosting a Disney Classics Film Festival in August. The venue has hosted a few film screenings in the past, and this appears to be their biggest program yet. It appears to be mainly targeting families and kids, but I for one am looking forward to this because I’ve not seen many of the old Disney animations on the big screen.
The festival is on daily between August 15-24 and back again on August 29-30. There are four films scheduled to screen each day, from the morning to night.
You can purchase day passes or a festival pass or tickets for the individual screenings (individual tickets for adults is AED 60 and AED 40 for kids. Festival pass costs AED 495 for adults/AED295 for kids).
I’ve added below the list of films per slot per day to give you a quick and easy glance of the schedule. You can select your ticket options here.
