I recommend you buy your snacks there. They have some interesting options that you don&#8217;t see at a regular movie concession stand and that&#8217;s part of the full experience.<\/li>\n<li>Before you go, read the information on their website about headlights. You need to know how to disable your headlights when you are inside the movie.<\/li>\n<li>You also need to figure out how to turn your vehicle to the &#8220;accessory setting&#8221; with your key. This will allow you to listen to the movie without draining your battery. VERY IMPORTANT<\/li>\n<li>There  is a note on their website about how to enter their address with GPS.\u00a0 There address is listed as &#8220;Middle River&#8221;not Baltimore on GPS.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If you give it a try, let me know how you like it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever been to a <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Drive-in_theater\">drive-in movie<\/a>?
