No, not a drive-in theater. Dive-in. Disney+ and Swimply, an app that allows people to connect with pool owners to rent their pool, have partnered for a summer poolside movie night experience.
Disney and Swimply are hosting parties at private pools across Los Angeles for throwback movie nights featuring films like Alien, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, and Camp Rock in July and August. The events will be themed parties with photo ops and interactive elements. If you’ve ever seen Honey, I Shrunk the Kids and thought you might want to swim in a giant bowl of cereal, this is your chance.
“The Disney+ Dive-in Theater allows fans to connect with their favorite films in a way they’ve never been able to before,” said Samantha Rosenberg, Executive Vice President, Marketing, Disney+. “Following the success of our Disney+ Throwback Experience earlier this summer, we’re seeing audiences crave real-world experiences that let them step into the stories they love. Swimply’s unique platform brings these immersive experiences to life in intimate, exclusive settings that create lasting memories with friends and family.”
Here’s what you’ll get at each of the experiences:
- Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (July 29 – August 1): Guests enter through a giant “shrink ray” laser tunnel and emerge in a giant-sized world featuring a cereal bowl swimming pool, Cheerio pool floats, a towering popcorn box, and massive ants.
- Camp Rock (August 6 – 9): Camp vibes come to life with bunk assignments, a fire pit, and DIY friendship bracelet stations. Fan-favorite movie moments are enhanced with a lakeside feel and a stage perfect for sing-along moments.
- Alien (August 14 – 17): Dive into deep space with spaceship decor and atmospheric fog. Guests will be recruited by Weyland-Yutani agents, pose in a flight suit, and watch the film surrounded by eerie green lighting and sci-fi sound design.
You can enter for a chance to attend directly through the Swimply app or Swimply.com.
