Things To Do With the Kids This Summer : The Regal Summer Movie Express

regal summer movie express

The Regal Summer Express 2016 Movie Lineup!

Can you believe that May is almost over. It has been such a busy month for me as school wraps up for me. I’m off for the Summer in 4 days and I couldn’t be happier! It also means that I’m already starting to think about what I’ll be doing this Summer with the kiddos.

One of our summer staples is definitely going to the movies. We make sure to take advantage of the Regal Summer Movie Express. Movies play every Tuesday and Wednesday morning during the summer.  Tickets are  available for purchase at the box office and all movies start at 10:00 am. Each week both movies play on both days. A portion of the proceeds goes to the Will Rogers Institute.

Get there early because it does tend to get a little busy and you want to make sure to get a seat!

Things To Do With The Kids This Summer: Cheapo Movie Theaters

Can you guess what they want to watch next?

Movie Time!!!

We’re in to week two of our Summer Vacation and this week on the schedule are a trip to the Air and Space Museum in SD, a trip to the Aquarium of the Pacific, and the beach. We’re also planning on hitting a movie, but that can be pricey!!! We love visiting bargain theaters because they’re inexpensive and if the kids became bored and we need to leave, we are only out a couple of bucks. Family films are particularly popular at these type of theaters, so it’s usually easy to find something for everyone. We’ve had a great experience and I’m sure your family will too!! I’ve shared this list before, but this is updated and ready for you to use and take those kiddos to the movies, without going broke!

Rainy Day Activity- Cheap Movies

It looks like it will rain this weekend and I don’t know about you but if it is cold and  I have bored kids I want to do something that is simple, fun and well cheap. The movies are usually a good idea but tickets  can add up quickly. A night at the movies has become painfully expensive. With prices hovering over $10 a person, it can really put a dent in your pocketbook. Thankfully we have several dollar/bargain theaters in the Southern California area. There are local dollar theaters in the Inland Empire, LA , Orange and Ventura Counties. I searched and searched and couldn’t find anything for the San Diego area. If you know of one in the area , please email me so I can add it to the list.
