We did this last year. The theater is not as dark and not as loud which is great for the kids. Then 2 year old PJ would sit for about 20. It wasn't a big deal because we didn't have to take a mortgage out on the house to go to these movies. He enjoyed the car video game in the lobby more than most of the movies. I took lots of pictures to show him in the future that there was a time he was happy as a clam to just sit in the seat and play the game without any money being added.
In order to get a decent seat you should get there early as there are usually bus loads of kids from different day programs.
