  Speaker 1: to talk to us about what you can expect all
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: month long and something for the entire family. Alejandra, thank

  Speaker 1: you again for stopping by. I really appreciate it.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you so much for having me. I love Lutacular.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: I love talking about it.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Well, this is one of those things that, of course,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: for a lot of people, they think of Halloween, Alejandra,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: as just one day, but this is something that is
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: a month-long celebration. What was the idea behind that for
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Chuck E. Cheese? Absolutely.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: We know that kids love Halloween. One of the reasons
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: why Chuck E. Cheese has been around for almost 50
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: years is our constant evolution, and our constant listening to
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: what kids and parents want and need. And we know
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: that there is some frustration for kids where it's one
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: day for Halloween, and so at Chuck E. Cheese you
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: can do it all 31 days of October. And, you know,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: we've done Bootacular for seven years now, so it's become
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: an annual tradition for families. And, you know, Chuck E.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Cheese Bootacular is all of the fun and none of
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: the fright, and it's made especially for kids three to nine-year-olds.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: So it's a very concerted effort for the little ones.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: And it's something that the entire family can be able
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: to enjoy as well. I've heard individuals talk about. So
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: when it comes to this year then, Alejandra, what can
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: people expect from the 2026 bootacular?
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, as you said, you know, we focus, we do
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: a really good job of focusing, of course, on safety
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: and value especially. It's so important for parents this year.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: And so we tried to make sure that we had
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: a great, great deal for And, of course, some freebies
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: for the kiddos. So, you know, they get to enjoy
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: showing up in their costume, and just for showing up
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: in their costume, they get 500 free e-tickets. We also
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: have a new Boo bundle, which is going to be great.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: It's a very great deal. It's, you know, $ 39. 99 in
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: some markets, and it's a pizza, cotton candy. We have
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: a Boo bucket, which is awesome in three collectible colors, purple, green,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: and orange, with cotton candy in the theme of a spiderweb.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: And so that, you know, it's nothing but treats during Bootacular.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Kids want treats during Halloween, and that's what we deliver.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: And we still offer a great deal for families.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: So you mentioned the treats. And, of course, outside of
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: the environment at Chuck E. Cheese, there also are the
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Halloween-themed treats that you all are able to have each year.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: What can our audience expect this year from those?
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Yes, again, fan favorites. So we brought them back. We
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: have this jack-o'-lantern shaped pepperoni pizza with pepperoni, cheese, and
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: then two black olives fries. Kids love those. We also
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: offer the Dippin' Dots ice cream, which has got slime
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: and some gummy worms on top. Kids love that. And
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: then we also have a slime cookie that, you know,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: the entire family can share. And so, you know, it's
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: a limited time. It's only available during Bootacular. And families
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: can enjoy it maybe while they're watching the DJ show.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: DJ Munch haunted house party. You know, we have a
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: dedicated entertainment that's all safe, but also spooky, fun, Halloween-themed,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: so families can enjoy that as well while they're enjoying
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: their day at Chuck E.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Cheese. Yeah. And I mentioned, and we've talked about this before, Alejandra,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: that one of the things that Chuck E. Cheese tries
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: to do, especially during boot tackler, is to make it
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: something that is an inclusive celebration. What are you all
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: doing again this year when it comes to those who
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: may need a more sensory-sensitive environment?
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. We are so proud of our Sensory Sensitive Sunday program,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: which is available all year long in participating locations. And
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: that is where we open the first Sunday of the month,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: two hours early, and we welcome our families with sensory sensitivities.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: And what we do for those families is we'll turn
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: down the lights, we'll turn down the sounds. Any part
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: of our experience that can sometimes be overwhelming for our guests,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: we'll kind of make modifications for them. And then it's
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: a great community experience for parents, you know, to be
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: with parents that, you know, have the same situation. And
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Halloween is no different, right? Chuck E. Cheese is where
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: a kid can be a kid, and we want all
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: kids to experience that. So if Halloween can be overwhelming
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: for them, we want to make Chuck E. Cheese bootacular
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: on Sensory Sensitive Sunday on October 29th to be an
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: extra special experience that is catered to their needs.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Love that. Again, everyone, Alejandra Brady has been our guest
