Arcade Cards?

[Tandyc]

Can someone please explain how these work? Where do you purchase them? What amounts to they come in? How long do they last? Are there video games in the clubs only in the arcade?
My DSs will not be allowed to check themselves in and out of the clubs, so if the clubs do not have games I'm not sure my kiddos will get to the arcade. Between excursions, shows and all this food when would they have time?

Thanks for your input.

First the most important thing to know about arcade cards is DO NOT put them next to your kttw card. The magnetic strips will cancel each other our rendering both useless. This happened to us and I had to have someone come recode our safe and then DH had to replace his kttw card.

You can purchase them at guest services or right in the arcade. The arcade has a machine that sells them in demoniations ranging from like 5-20 dollars in five dollar increments (it may only be $10-20 I did not pay that much attention) youjust slide in your kttw card, push the button for the desired amount and out slides the card.
It took our son approx. 20 mins to burn through a 15.00 card just to give you a heads up.
The games in the lab (a playstation and computer stations) are all free. You do not need arcade cards for them.
If you allow it I am confidant your children would "make time" for the arcade. We used it as a reward.

We've never seen any purpose in the Arcade cards. The kids can play computer games in the Lab for free, and have plenty of access to play station, etc. at home. You can drop a lot of money in a hurry on them.....I'd suggest a budget for the kids from the beginning.

Is the lab for kids of all ages? Mine are 17 & 14.

There are computers in The Stack (teen area), but I dont' know what's available on them. I'll let you know in a couple weeks!
