I was wondering if anyone has been and whether (1) they sell food there and (2) 7:30 is too late for getting a good spot (the movie starts at 8)? Thanks!

Nope, no food there. Most people bring picnic baskets/coolers or pick up food at chipotle or something and walk over.

I would aim to get there before 7:30. You'll probably be able to find a spot to sit then, but parking can get really difficult. There's a garage nearby that only costs $3 I think, but it's not very large, so if you're driving you'll want to get there early. I think in the past I've gotten there around 6:45-7:00, because there were 4 of us so I wanted to make sure we had a big enough spot.

Bring bug spray, bring a book or cards or something, and if you have the super low beach chairs, bring them. It's not comfortable to sit on the grass for 3+ hours! Doggies are welcome too--my dog had a blast last summer
