My family is so excited for the upcoming release of Marvel: Guardians of the Galaxy on December 9th, 2014. It will be available in 3D Blu-Ray + Blu-Ray + Digital HD (Widescreen). I love that Walmart allows you to pre-order for $19.99 along with free shipping or in store pick-up. I’m in the process of planning a very fun family movie night and went to my local Walmart to look for all things Guardian of the Galaxy. I knew that my six year old would gravitate straight towards the TOYS section and immediately start to look for the action figures he would want. I was right on the money! My son saw Rocket Raccoon and the Battle FX Star-Lord and grabbed them. I’m not surprised, he also went for the battery operated Guardians of the Galaxy toys with lights and the movie voice along with battle sounds and phrases. He wanted the REAL Guardians of the Galaxy experience. I think the Marvel: Guardians of the Galaxy Movie and Toys make great stocking stuffers or holiday gifts that would look great under the Christmas tree. There is no holiday that goes by at my house where we don’t end up watching movies after dinner. It never fails and it’s not like we plan it, it just ALWAYS happens! We eat and get full and then we just want to relax and watch movies as a family. I guess I can consider that a tradition!

There are some great incentives that come along when you purchase Guardians of the Galaxy merchandise, like receiving a $5 Walmart gift card instantly when you purchase a Groot, Drax or the Rocket Raccoon figure for Disney Infinity 2.0. **From 12/7 – 12/13, when you buy one of those Disney Infinity 2.0 figures. ** There are also DVD features that will be available on December 9: Exclusive Character O-sleeve and exclusive music zinepack and a 64-page magazine with cast and crew interviews, exclusive behind-the-scenes photos and trivia PLUS a custom “cassette” laptop decal. I think these are great holiday bonuses to take advantage of. I know that I have a few friends and families that are diehard Marvel fans like we are and would thoroughly appreciate these awesome gifts for the holidays. There’s nothing like a good family video game night, movie night or night of active play during the holiday season. The holidays are a time where we celebrate our traditions, spend time with our loved ones and in a lot of cases take a step back and reflect on the year we’ve had and get ourselves ready for the upcoming New Year. If I had to sum it up I think it’s all about fellowship! Think about what you do during the holidays with your family and see if there are any similarities to what I’ve shared.

So, for my special action packed Guardians of the Galaxy family movie night I plan to have everyone gather in the living room and get in their favorite spot. You know everyone has their own favorite spot in the living area! My favorite spot happens to be in the corner of my sofa sectional, putting me somewhat in the middle. It gives me a perfect view of my TV for the best movie experience. My children are all allowed to invite one friend to this special Marvel family movie night. We’ll have a variety of candy, popcorn and desserts to munch on. I will set up a sweets bar for all of us to enjoy, we’ll put on our 3D glasses and watch Guardians of the Galaxy in 3D on the big screen home theater system. 3D Cinema is just like being at the movie theater with awesome surround sound. The best part is that you feel like you are a part of the movie with all the action and adventure taking place. This holiday season give the gift of Guardians of the Galaxy movie night to friends and family. Don’t forget to take advantage and pre-order your copy of Guardians of the Galaxy today to receive FREE shipping or FREE in store pick-up.
