Fall Movies

Fall Movies with Fandango Family Room

October 11, 2015 by Denise Courter

Summer may have blockbusters. But, Fall has some family favorites and this years Fall movie season is shaping up to be more engaging and entertaining than ever before. 

We were really excited to attend the screening of Hotel Transylvania 2 and it did not disappoint. Helmed by Adam Sandler, Andy Samberg and Selena Gomez, the film had my kids cracking up, the whole way through. We have become big fans of chapter books in our family and my 2nd grader can’t wait to see Goosebumps in theaters on October 16th. We spent the summer and the beginning of the school year brushing up on this great series and can’t wait to see it come to life, with the help of the hilarious Jack Black. 

Take a look at some of the upcoming films that you are sure to enjoy with your family, with the Family Movie Guide. Print it out and tape it to your refrigerator for a reminder of what to see with your kiddos!

Hotel Transylvania 2 at the Bronx Zoo

September 21, 2015 by Denise Courter

Hotel Transylvania 2 at the Bronx Zoo

Halloween is one of my families favorite holidays. I love to get the kids dressed in costume and carve pumpkins. The kids love it because it means a lot of candy is coming their way, during the month of October. FiDi Families was recently invited to the incredible Bronx Zoo by our friends at Kidz Vuz and Sony Pictures for a day of spooky fun for the release of Hotel Transylvania 2. Guests were invited to an incredible breakfast with the Drac pack in the Congo Gorilla Forest, plus guests were invited to a bat encounter and had a chance to enjoy some great Hotel Transylvania 2 activities. 

Hotel Transylvania 2 at the Bronx Zoo

The Drac pack is back for an all-new monster comedy adventure in Sony Pictures Animation’s Hotel Transylvania 2! Everything seems to be changing for the better at Hotel Transylvania… Dracula’s rigid monster-only hotel policy has finally relaxed, opening up its doors to human guests. But behind closed coffins, Drac is worried that his adorable half-human, half-vampire grandson, Dennis, isn’t showing signs of being a vampire. So while Mavis is busy visiting her human in-laws with Johnny – and in for a major cultural shock of her own – “Vampa” Drac enlists his friends Frank, Murray, Wayne and Griffin to put Dennis through a “monster-in-training” boot camp. But little do they know that Drac’s grumpy and very old, old, old school dad Vlad is about to pay a family visit to the hotel. And when Vlad finds out that his great-grandson is not a pure blood – and humans are now welcome at Hotel Transylvania – things are going to get batty! (Summary Courtesy of Sony Pictures)

Hotel Transylvania 2 is fun and had my kids giggling hysterically throughout the film. As an adult, I loved the subtle jokes by stars Adam Sandler, Andy Samberg and Selena Gomez. It’s a great family film to help kick off the Halloween season.

Life is funny. A year ago I was celebrating 20 yea Life is funny. A year ago I was celebrating 20 years of calling NYC home. A year later, our family is on a crazy career adventure in Miami, with a lot of unknowns. 

But, we do know that we only get one life to live and jumping in feet first is the only way to live life to the fullest, at least in our minds 😂. 

We are already in love with the Miami weather, the happy people, the gorgeous beaches 🏝 and the day tripping way of life. We arrived in FL w a suitcase each and a mask 😷. Happy that we are surrounded by mask-wearers. Wasn’t sure what to expect. But, we will be back in NYC this summer. Lots of decisions to make between now and then. But also lots of fun and exploring over the next few months. 

The silver lining of the Covid world we live in is remote learning allows us to travel and say yes to new beginnings. Stay tuned for updates on the next chapter for our website, too.
