FILM: 1939 Classic Wizard of Oz Celebrate the 85th Anniversary of this classic film, just in time to relive the nostalgia of the original before the new release of Wicked hits the big screen on November 22. Frank Baum wrote this series and more while staying at the Hotel Del Cronado and later at a home located just down the road. We like to think he was inspired by the magic, sea, island life, and graduer of the turn-of-the-century hotel. Vista Terrace - Outdoor Terrace Sceening, please bundle up with a jacket or sweater for a cozy evening under the stars and the iconic red turret.
