Stupid Guest Tricks

Syndrome wrote:I'm lucky enough to see most of the Pixar movies without ponying up (or by ponying up TOO much, depending on your point of view). We cruise Disney Cruise Line often enough to get to see most of their new releases on board. If "Up" is running at a convenient time onboard, I'll most likely give it a shot. I remember my skepticism over "The Incredibles," although it piqued by my interest when I heard that people were suing superheros. The movie turned out to be my all-time favorite Pixar production, although Wall-E has a fond place in my heart and I LMAO at the Axiom parts.

Syndrome, I plan to use this argument the next time I want to go on a cruise:

[INDENT]Her: We can't afford it right now.
Me: Can't afford it? Think of the money we'll save by not going to the movie theater!!! :D: [/INDENT]

After three cruises, our kids are pretty well conditioned to catch themselves whenever they refer to something onboard the ship as "free," and instead call it "paid for"! :D:

Whether it's referred to as free or paid for, unlimited access is a dangerous thing! We haven't brought any of the nephews and nieces on a cruise, but the company I used to work for sometimes held the annual employee picnic at a little place with a pool, small rides, and unlimited picnic food and ice cream. I brought some of the kids since guests were free, and DH and I still shudder at the memory of the amount of hot dogs and ice cream they consumed...Mass Quantities, as the Coneheads would say. Of course we gave them free rein because it was my poor sister in law who had to deal with any after-effects, as long as they didn't puke in the car on the way home.

The bring them to your seat in the theater. Unfortunately, they cost a bit more than a twofer, that's generally the amount of the tip.

:) We relax the standards for our boys on the vacations, but they're pretty good about not overdoing it.

Of course, I'll never forget the comment of our then-six-year-old at breakfast one morning of our first cruise in 2003. My wife pointed to the treats he and his brother had on their plates and said, "You realize what you'll be having for breakfast after we get home?" Benjamin smiled "innocently" and said, "Pastries?"

If my bad memory serves me correctly,didn't Fantasia 2000 just rake in the BIG$$$$$$$??

Not really.. It made about $91 million worldwide. It had a budget of $80 million, so that's not too good.

That's just box office though, I have no idea how it did on DVD/home video..
