12 rolls (6 stereo rolls actually) * 36 exposures =  216 stereo shots. 
Not bad for a six day trip to 4 amusement parks.  After all, you do have
to ride some rides and see some shows :-) :-)

My thought process... Well, it depends on where I am.  I certainly
wouldn't take 100 rolls of film of my back yard.  I would, however, take
a whole roll of film (Kodak stereo camera) of my two boys playing in the
kiddie pool in our back yard.  My thoughts there would be to capture the
action of the boys coming down a small slide and the water splashing up.

On vacation, I'd shoot more and sort later.  It's certainly cheaper to
shoot a bunch of film and throw away the junk shots than it is to not
shoot enough and have to go back.  I know as I didn't get shots of the
Disney World 25th anniversary birthday castle the first trip in 96 and
had to go back later that year! :-) :-)
