41. Go to a movie night at a resort

All resorts have movie nights as part of their recreation activities, where they'll bring out a big screen and play a Disney movie for the resort guests somewhere outdoors. I found a website that showed all the movies playing at each of the resorts on each date so I could choose when to do this. I found out that Fort Wilderness makes a big deal out of it, they even have a special area for it with a huge screen, bleachers, benches, a snack stand, and fireplaces for s'mores. They have a cowboy come out and sing, and Chip and Dale come meet the kids.

The first night we tried to go, we were 45 minutes away from watching Aladdin when a storm warning cancelled the event. But that was okay, since it meant we were able to watch Tangled (my favorite Disney movie) instead. The event was super cute, a bunch of families showed up for the pre-show, but a lot of people left when the actual movie started. We were sitting next to the cutest mom and son, who had this conversation about 5 minutes into the movie:

Son: This isn't Tangled!

Mom: Yes, it is

Son: No, this is the movie with the hair!

Mom: Tangled is the movie with the hair

Son: No, Tangled is the one with the boat

Mom: What movie with a boat?

Son: You tricked me!

The only issue was the fact that instead of putting grass or concrete in, they had pebbles covering the ground, which meant it was insanely noisy whenever anyone walked around (ie. the whole time). But it was still pretty cool seeing Tangled on the big screen again, especially in such an interesting environment.
