The final days of school are upon us and the countdown is now in the single digits. So what are your plans for family time this summer? I’m sure if you are anything like me, you want to spend lots of time with the kids outside, enjoying the great outdoors, but that leaves much up in the air at the same time. What about nights, rainy days, or quality relaxing time? Well I’ve got just the thing; movie night. I know, it’s nothing new but that’s okay! That’s what makes it a tried and true activity for families. Grab the popcorn, snacks, pillows and blankets, and get comfortable – I have my top five picks for the must-see movies for you and your family in front of the old TV this summer.
5. Finding Nemo – Because this sequel is coming out this summer, what better way to prep for it’s debut than to refresh your memory on the first one? These movies are perfect for all ages.
4. Wreck It Ralph – An action-packed animation, this movie had me in tears, and then laughter. It keeps kids attention, and adults love it as well. As a plus, it also has a great message!
3. Big Hero 6 – This movie left me with the warm feels. It was so endearing and a very touching movie even for adults! This is one that I would see again and again.
2. The Lego Movie – I took my nephew to see this movie when it first came out in theaters and I absolutely loved it (oh, and so did he). It is extremely cute, it’s captivating, and funny too!
1. Inside Out – A new release, this animated movie is a family hit. It has a wonderful message for young kids, and even older kids enjoy it as well. It’s been a family favorite since day one!
(BONUS) Honorable Mentions: Norm of the North, The Good Dinosaur, Lorax, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs

Get a Free Movie Every Month
There’s currently a hot deal going on that presents a neat way to score a free movie every month. We all like free, right? Here’s the scoop. When you sign up for a Walmart Family Mobile Plus plan, you get a free VUDU movie each month (a $7 value) of your choice! This includes all the latest new releases (including all of the above mentioned movies even!) and all the classics as well.
To test it out and see how easy (or hard) it was to do, I opened up a Walmart Family Mobile PLUS Plan at my local Walmart. Right now on this plan, you can get unlimited talk, text and data (which includes up to 10GB of 4G LTE) for $49.88 – plus, you get the free movie I talked about above, which is a free movie on VUDU every month per line! So if you have a few people in your house with phone lines, you’d probably cover my list of movies pretty quickly.
Data Perks – With 10GB of 4G LTE, you actually get a large amount of data to do whatever you want! Do you constantly check email, browse social media, stream music or upload photos? I do all of those, a lot, so a larger data bucket is a big plus for me.
Movie Perks – I am pumped to be able to keep up with all the new releases now. We love watching movies, but with little miss, we don’t get out much. Driving to the nearest DVD kiosk means packing her up into the car, running out, bringing her in (because you can’t just leave her in the car) and loading her up again, coming home, watching the movie and then rushing back to do the same procedure the next day to return the movie. Blah. So yeah, we don’t even rent movies much either. Now we’ve got a good summer of family movie nights planned and I cannot wait! It’s something that I miss doing, that’s for sure.
I found a simple phone (I don’t need anything too fancy) I grabbed the Coolpad Rogue, which is on rollback right now for $19.88, regularly $39.83. It is actually an impressive phone that offers email access, texting, mobile browsing, app downloads, music, etc. so I think it’s a great low-maintenance phone option.
(Disclaimer: All prices for phones and plans included in this post are accurate as of the date of posting; however, these prices are subject to change. Please refer to http://cbi.as/3edbv or your local Walmart for current pricing.)
When you purchase the phone, you’ll also purchase a Starter Kit which is required per line of service. For the first time ever, it’s on rollback from $25, it’s now only $19.88! My out of pocket was really low compared to other prepaid carriers – only $19.88 to get started. This Starter Kit provides you with your SIM card and an activation code. Just call in to set it all up, and you are good to go!
You are then ready to start enjoying your free movies, browsing Pinterest, and streaming music whenever you want this summer.
What could you do with all that data? It makes you think a little bit, doesn’t it? 🙂
