How do we JOIN mall of America Theaters??
Just FYI, in regards to the free rides at MOA, I talked with someone at guest services at the mall, and they said, this is a friends and family event and that you do NEED to be on a list to join – so you do need to RSVP ahead of time!
Amanda – Thanks for the clarification! I wasn’t sure about this as the post I read didn’t say anything about being on a list, but I had a suspicion that this might be the case.
