In this fully interactive experience, you’ll be transported to Kansas, Munchkin Land, Emerald City, and other magical locations inspired by L. Frank Baum’s popular Oz book series. Get swept up in all the action with Dorothy and her friends as they battle the Wicked Witch to find the brains, the heart, and the courage they never knew they had.

Since Dorothy Gale started her epic journey down the Yellow Brick Road more than a century ago in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, she’s become a celebrity, a brand, and a beacon for marginalized voices across our culture. It’s Dorothy! brings to life her timeless adventures in Oz through those who’ve played her, from Judy Garland to Nichelle Lewis (The Wiz), and the cultural icons (John Waters, Lena Waithe, Rufus Wainwright) who she’s inspired to hope and to dream. With a magical remix of archival and cinematic art, director Jeffrey McHale follows up his Showgirls documentary with another insightful look at a queer cultural touchstone.

Hotel del Coronado "A Holiday in Oz"

“There’s no place like home” when it comes to making holiday plans, and what better place to spend the festive season than at the very place that inspired the world of Oz? Hotel del Coronado has announced its annual holiday theme this year will be “A Holiday in Oz,” a celebration of its storied connection to L. Frank Baum, the author behind the iconic “Wizard of Oz” series.
The revitalized Victorian Garden Courtyard will take visitors to the land of Oz, complete with a projection of the yellow brick road and magnificent trees adorned with Baum’s beloved characters, including Dorothy and Toto, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman and the Cowardly Lion.
The grove of towering Norfolk Island Pines on the Founders Lawn will be the scene of a dynamic light show orchestrated to an Oz-inspired soundtrack, a brilliant ethereal experience that captivates guests with a finale of snow flurries. The complimentary 10-minute show takes place every 30 minutes from 5-9pm nightly. Open to the public (no reservations needed).
Plus, The Del will welcome back its annual traditions of putting up the two-story Christmas tree inside the lobby and the iconic ice skating rink for Skating by the Sea. Like previous years, a portion of the proceeds from the ice skating rink will go toward Make-A-Wish San Diego.
Baum was a frequent visitor at The Del between 1904 and 1917, and reportedly used the hotel’s castle-like architecture and sweeping oceanfront views as inspiration for his creative works. The Del recently underwent a more than six-year-long, $550 million restoration project, making this upcoming holiday season even more special for guests.
The enchanting experience kicks off on Nov. 21 and lasts until Jan. 4, 2026.

Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige
A twister has hit Kansas again, and this time it whisks away a girl named Amy Gumm. At first, Amy is thrilled to have left her trailer park life behind. But she discovers that Oz has been destroyed. And it’s all Dorothy’s fault.
Amy soon joins up with the Revolutionary Order of the Wicked—a group of deposed witches and warlocks who are determined to end Dorothy’s oppressive reign, and who need Amy’s help. They teach her the secrets of witchcraft and combat and then they give her an impossible mission: steal back the Tin Woodman’s heart, the Scarecrow’s brain, and the Lion’s courage. And when she’s done, Dorothy must die.
Somewhere… by Angelo Thomas
This contemporary reimagining of The Wizard of Oz grounds the fairy tale in the emotional journey of a child longing for home.
Eleven-year-old Dorothy Gale runs away from her home in rural Ohio, determined to find her estranged father in Columbus. Along the way, Dorothy and her dog befriend a selfless farmhand and a grieving father who help her summon the heart, courage, and wisdom she needs to confront the truth about her father’s absence and understand what it really means to say, “There’s no place like home.”
