April 2010 ABD Backstage Magic : California Here We Come!!!

[corky441]

OMG

Has everyone been keeping up with the weather out in Southern California?

I hope there isn't an ABD trip going on this week

I feel so so bad for all those living in that area their devastation from all the flooding and mud is just terrible and there is more rain on the way during the next few days.

I even heard that there was a tornado in the Huntington Beach area, which is where DH & I will be spending a few days before the Adventure begins.

Welcome to the new adventurers!! The more the merrier I always say!!

I love when Kevin is a big tease!! I also know that when the DIS has a surprise it’s usually top notch! I look forward to the reveal.

ABD should be thrilled, it's more money in their pocket. We're not complaining why should they.

Hi everyone! I'm Sharon, your newest adventurer! Wow, saying it like that makes me sound a lot more active than I actually am. Thanks for the warm welcome. I am excited that my trip just got a week closer! And I'm glad to be joining what seems like a great group. I can't wait to meet you all!

Awww, you guys are all going to have a fantastic time!!!

I work in El Segundo, and today we received a mass notice to the employees on what to do in case of a tornado! Okay, I'm on the 12th floor, of a 16 story building, and our permeter walls are floor - ceiling glass.

 

[Circusgirl]

The party just got merrier! Kevin, you are the greatest.
Welcome new friends! Just be sure your seat belts are securely fastened...

Hey there everybody! I posted these link a long time ago, but I wanted to repost them now that actually planning time has arrived and our group seems to be locked in.

These are links to two trip reports for BSM. There are many, many SPOILERS! So if you're a freak like me, read on, but if you like surprises don't even go there.

Here is a link to a review of the WB tour.

http://www.passporterboards.com/for...tions/192031-warner-brothers-studio-tour.html

Both of these are by Diser BradK. I don't think he actually finishes them, but you get a really good feel for things. He's very descriptive. Plus he also does several pre days, so some good ideas there.

I can't decide between the two hour WB tour or the five hour WB tour. If we only do the two hour, obviously that leaves more time for other things, but on the other hand I would hate to go all that way and miss something.

Any thoughts on two versus five hour tour??

Happy Week y'all!

Hi all!

Finally getting back to the boards (although I have lurked a bit).
Disney Depression hits hard after a month at the World.

Welcome to our latest additions, Jim and Linda, Frank and Kathy, Oscar and Oscar (or O2?) and Sharon!

Looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones in just

81 days!!!

Did you guys have to reapply for Canadian citizenship considering how long you were in FL?

Looking forward to seeing you and Katherine again!

We are trying to decide between these as well. Originally we were going to do the 2 hour because we were doing the VIP tour at Universal. We don't think we will have time for that now so now I am wondering if the longer WB tour would make sense. After the cost of this trip I am not going to miss something great for a few bucks!

I'm a bit of a California novice....been there a few times but dont know my way around all that well.

One of the things that we thoroughly enjoyed....and it's FREE...is the LA Farmer's Market, which is next to The Grove. (That's the place you always see in the gossip columns where celebrities shop)

We had a blast at the Farmer's Market and are looking forward to going back.

Besides being the Navigator on the trips to CA, this was the place Bob liked the best. It was like version of the Food and Wine Festival.

I had the best donut I've ever had in my life there.

This is one of the places we're looking forward to the most. I think we're heading there on the sunday after we arrive at the hotel. It looks fantastic. I think we'd be just as excited to see the TMZ guys as the celebrities...haha.

Now I have to try a donut from every possible location to try to find this "best" donut. Any idea where you found it?
