Last night hubby and I brought 3 of the kids to the movies to see the new Beauty and the Beast..
We went to a new type of movie theater that recently opened nearby.
Upon entering the theater you're handed a menu. They serve burgers, sandwiches, chicken, beer, cocktails.. all sorts of stuff.
You have a small tray at your seat, and there's a button on your tray. When you're ready to order you press the button.
We got some popcorn as well as dinner. The kids had burgers, I had chicken chipotle sliders, hubby had a chicken parm sandwich.
They bring your food to you right in your seat. You can also order desserts.
At the end of the movie they bring your food bill. Tickets for the movie are paid for separately.
The food costs are fairly similar to eating out at any restaurant.
The tickets were a bit more expensive than a typical movie theater..
The seats recline, so that was a bonus!
I spent a lot of money on seeing this movie, but it was our first time at this theater, so a brand new experience for us.
The only thing I didn't like was that we were stuck in the front row as the rest of the theater had sold out before we bought our tickets... it wasn't easy viewing this large screen from the front row..
But still it was a fun experience..
And an amazing movie! I loved it! (I also loved the original cartoon version). It stays really close to the original plot line of the cartoon, only it adds a few extra details that weren't in the cartoon..
We had a great night.. but we got home late and we're really tired!

Yeah, I won't do it again in the future.
But I am impatient sometimes. I really wanted to see the movie, and didn't want to wait..

@katsmeow1213 That's why we wound up in the front row. It was years ago, so haven't done it since.

That sounds a great experience. I would love to go to a theatre like that - just once at least.

We won't do it often due to the cost. Might be a nice date night sometime though.

@katsmeow1213 It's probably a bit like the first plane flight you ever do. Quite exciting but gradually it becomes 'old hat' and nothing to write home about.

@JudyEv Yes, I mean after all it's still just a movie. The food is good, but not spectacular. We did it for the experience, and because we were too short on time to eat elsewhere.

Front row could be quite discomforting but the entire experience must have been a great one.

Yes it was fun, but I want to see the movie again as I don't feel I had the best view.

They're called Movie Tavern, and they are in some other areas. We will probably not visit frequently due to the cost, but it was a fun experience.

@katsmeow1213 I like that concept, but I doubt that it would take off up here. Most people go out and bring their snacks into the show because the costs are so high to buy them there. I think that it would be a nice treat from time to time.

@Juliaacv people do that here too, and I don't blame them.

That sounds like a lot of fun and a great experience. It sure would make movie theater viewing more enjoyable. I hope it does well. I look forward to seeing the new version. It has always been a favorite of mine.
