The Frogs had their first visit to the Grand yesterday afternoon to catch the matinee for Ocean's 13, which was dependably entertaining like the first two.
While Pier Park is still a work in progress, the theater is pretty much finished other than some cosmetic touches on the exterior. For amenities, it's fairly close to Rave, lacking only the credit card ticket purchase kiosks which are a real advantage when the ticket line gets long.
It's great not to fight the Destin traffic and the crowds and parking hassles that you have at Destin Commons. Of course, if you want a little shopping with your movie, Rave is still your place.
A small note - when the Grand says a movie starts at 3:45, that's the movie itself. Don't ask how I found this out. At Rave, that's when the 20 minutes of previews start.
