I also loved that we could bring our own food (I usually bring my Longchamp and sneak food in to movies, haha). I was just happy to not be spending $40 on a movie, haha. The prices for tickets at the Starlight are $10 for ages 10+, and $1 for children- I think it was the cheapest movie I had ever seen! The ticket gets you two movies on the same screen- that would’ve been really late so we went home because we were tired, but maybe one time we will try to do both. Technically, the Starlight asks that bigger cars park in the back, but no one really seemed to be following that rule. I would come at least an hour early, and gauge it depending on where you want to park and the size of your car- the lot is sloped down towards the screen, and the spots have “bumps” so you are higher up, but we did have to move Ry’s Camry when a huge SUV parked in front of us (they apologized and offered to move after they realized they blocked us, haha). I don’t have the best eyesight and we have a smaller car, so I didn’t want to risk being in the back. How early you want to show up really depends on your preference and car size. We probably could’ve waited until 8PM or so, but we enjoyed chatting in the car and I took the chance to snap a few photos. I had read reviews to get there around two hours early, and I was a little worried it would be extra crowded because there are so few options for entertainment right now. They recommend that you get there early- we showed up around 7:30PM and there were already a few cars in the lot. The Starlight is a classic drive-in theater with multiple movie screens, and the weekend shows are at 9PM for the first viewing (I loved the late time since I usually work late!). I decided to surprise Ryan with the idea, and told him to pick me up on Friday night around 7PM with takeout- I gave him the address and told him to drive! He had no clue where he was driving to- it was so fun to see the look on his face when he saw the sign! I filmed the drive and surprise in case you missed it on my Instagram stories- it is saved in the 2020 part two highlight. Drive-in movies were the perfect solution- I got the idea when I heard that Georgia was reopening movie theaters, and I remembered hearing about the Starlight! I was so excited to learn that it reopened in the last week of April (although the snack bar is still closed). Date nights during quarantine have been so tough! I have been craving a night out, but finding things we can do that are socially distanced isn’t easy.
