Sensory Friendly Showing of Toy Story Nationwide!

I have a son on the spectrum and saw this posted elsewhere:

AMC Theaters and the Autism Society of America have partnered to offer "sensory friendly" showings of popular movies. Toy Story 3 will be shown this Saturday at 10am (local time) at theaters around the country.

"In order to provide a more accepting and comfortable setting for this unique audience, the movie auditoriums will have their lights brought up and the sound turned down, families will be able to bring in their own gluten-free, casein-free snacks, and no previews or advertisements will be shown before the movie. Additionally, audience members are welcome to get up and dance, walk, shout or sing - in other words, AMC?s ?Silence is Golden?? policy will not be enforced unless the safety of the audience is questioned."

Tickets are from $4-6 depending on the location; link to see if there's a theater near you:

Thought it might be nice for some of the kids here.  We are pretty excited!

Unfortunately, none in our area (well, SF but that's a bit of a drive).  Thanks so much for posting!

None in our area either, but still thrilled to see it is offered at all. Thanks so much for sharing this!

Our speech office had an announcement up about this today when we went. I'm so excited!
