That implies that Disney does not own the El Cap, but is simply renting out space.

Disney does own it just as it does the New Amsterdam. They helped with the Pantages, but have no relationship and no ownership of the theater. This isn't my opinion, this is what the management of the El Capitan will tell you as they've told me...<BR/><BR/>Either way, it's being sold. And this is one of few places that people will be glad to to tell you has a mouse in it.Honor Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05346050126873050983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244647450237014911.post-79755878895998991772008-09-19T14:43:00.000-07:002008-09-19T14:43:00.000-07:00Disney does not 100% own the building.
