My 10 yr old daughter waited to celebrate her birthday so she could go see this movie. Due to the cost (and a recent lay-off of my husband) we were only able to take 1 friend to see it with her. The girls had a great time and loved it. Her birthday party last yr was to see the Hannah Montana 3D concert. I wish Disney wouldn't exploit these tweens and charge $15 a ticket to see it. The girls did have a fabulous time, so it did make the $60+ a tiny bit less painful for us to all go. Crazy how you'll do anything for your kid's birthday!
