It is going to be a hot one today! ☀️ With a high of 94°F, temperatures should cool into the mid-80s by the time the sun sets and our first feature begins.

Gates open at 7:00 PM.

We know it will still be warm when you arrive, so if you need to run your A/C while you are waiting for the movie to start, we completely understand! Once the sun goes down and the movie begins, we kindly ask that you turn off your engine to help reduce noise throughout the lot and minimize exhaust fumes for guests, especially those enjoying the movie outside their vehicles.

Most vehicles allow you to listen to the movie without the engine running. Simply turn your key to the ACC (Accessory) position or, on most push-button start vehicles, press the Start/Stop button once without pressing the brake pedal. This will power your radio without starting the engine. While this does use a small amount of your battery, we have an intermission between features, making it the perfect time to start your vehicle for a few minutes and recharge it.

Don't want to use your car radio? If you have your own portable radio, that is an excellent way to enjot the shows! We have been asked about the use of apps on your phone, from our testing our FM frequency is unable to be picked up using a phone app. We also have a limited number of portable radios available to rent inside the concession stand for a refundable $20 deposit or a valid ID. Your deposit or ID will be returned when the radio is brought back.

Need to cool off? We've got you covered! We are fully stocked with ice-cold bottled water, soft drinks, ice cream, and all your favorite concessions. If you're hungry, stop in for chicken strips, fries, hot dogs, corn dogs, pizza ranch pizza and much more while you wait, and come back for popcorn, candy, and something to drink before the show starts. Be sure to check out our full menu inside the concession stand!

We can't wait for you to join us and spend the evening watching movies under the stars as we show Disney's live-action Moana, followed by Toy Story 5.

We'll see you tonight at the Verne! 🍿🎬

Thank you to each and every one of you for your continued support. We truly appreciate our wonderful drive-in family and wish you all a safe, happy, and memorable Fourth of July! 🇺🇸
