The seating looks very comfortable. I would only hope they keep everything clean. I've been in some of the filthiest movie theaters where nothing more than popcorn, soda, and candy is served. I can only imagine what some people would do with burgers and other greasy foods :roll: :(

The concept sounds interesting. Were you the only ones in the theatre MadEye? I ask because I wonder if having "x" number of servers traipsing in and out of the theatre would be distracting from the movie. If there were only a handful of people in there, I don't think it would be too bad. But in a full theatre, who knows?
I didn't count but I'd guess there were between 15 and 30 maybe more that came in after us. And like I said, the servers didn't distract from anything that was important to the movie.

And life's a little weird,
And when we find someone whose
Weirdness is compatible with ours,
We join up with them and fall in
Mutual weirdness and call it Love.”

I would guess that like a restaurant, they would have a limited amount of servers. The busier the theater, the more guests each server would be responsible for. You have a point though, the interaction of the servers and guests could be distracting. Plus you might end up waiting awhile for service.

You were seeing Inception: it's already confusing enough that any distraction from a waitress couldn't make it any more confusing...

That's what I'm thinking. Sometimes you need to be following the movie closely...what if that precise point in time is when the server shows up?!

Inception wasn't that confusing a movie and it sounds like they have their monkeys trained to be like ninjas. :D

Yet another reason we chose Inception. We understood what was happening the first time I saw it last year. We also own it on Blu-Ray so we know the movie well. If we needed anything, we pressed the button at a spot in the movie that we didn't need to pay attention (gun fights, car chases, etc.). :) :wink:

They should put Adventurer's Club in the Studios. Would fit right in next to the Indy stunt show.
No one's gloomy or complaining while the flatware's entertaining.

I was thinking the same thing! :lol: Yup, unless free wifi magically appears in the Magic Kingdom and surrounding areas, that is all my computer gets used for as well!

Actually, I'm surprised that the auto-correct feature of the iphone didn't come up with some crazy to replace "Mockey" with, such "mockery".
