This might actually get our family to a movie at DTD when on vacation. We lived for a year in Austin and loved the Alamo Draft house and was very surprised no one else was doing this.

Over 30 years ago, Village Cinema and Draft House operated close to Disney.
Great Idea then, Still Great Now! Should go over well for the adult crowd.

Anyone know if they will honor the DDP here?

Ineresting!

Just found out they will have Coke Freestyle machines here! Almost worth it, just to use those. Can't wait until they are all around the park...

[mickclub1955]

I used this idea for a marketing class in college. Had to come up with a marketing plan and everything. Glad to see that someone is using it.

[Mousemates]

should be fun...we always catch a movie when we come down anyway...and the food prices that i saw listed on the menu were not any higher than a lot of the the surrounding eateries...we will def give it a try (unless food reviews give it a consistent thumbs down).

I can't wait to see it in person on Dec 2011!

We have an amc dine-in movie theatre by where i live in NJ. Its really fun and the food here is good. We have both cinema suites (fancier menu and big comfy recliners, 21 and over only) and fork & screen (open to all ages, comfortable chairs, good menu) in our theatre, but it looks like theyre only putting fork & screen into DTD. I'll porbably check it out during my next trip.

What are these? I've never heard of them.

its a touch screen soda fountain with about 100 different coke products. it also allows you to custom flavor the drinks with flavors like vanilla, strawberry, cherry, grape, orange, etc. its really cool if you like fountain drinks.
