Thanks to everyone who gave advice on my previous thread. Here's what I have come up with:

Day 1: Sunday, August 30
9:00am - Hollywood Forever Cemetery
10:30am - Paramount Studios Tour
1:00pm - Park at The Grove, lunch at Farmer's Market
2:30pm - Walk to La Brea Tar Pits (tour outside)
3:00pm - LACMA (tour outside)
3:30pm - Petersen Automotive Museum Vault
5:30pm - Walk back to The Grove and do some shopping
8:30pm- Grab a movie at the Pacific Theatre at The Grove (if not too tired)

Day 2: Monday, August 31
8:45am - Warner Bros VIP Tour
11:30am - Park At Hollywood & Highland Center (find lunch somewhere)
1:00pm - High Voltage Tattoo (for me lol)
2:00pm - Walk of Fame (just a quick gander)
2:30pm - TCL Chinese Theatre (again, just a quick walk around outside)
3:00pm - TMZ Tour (for teenage son)
5:30pm - Quick peek at the Roosevelt Hotel and dinner somewhere
7:00pm - Catch a movie at El Capitan

Day 3: Tuesday, September 1
8:00am - Depart for Camarillo Premium Outlets
9:00am - Shopping and grab lunch somewhere
1:00pm - Depart for Santa Monica Pier via Malibu
2:30pm - Arrive Santa Monica Pier (rides, aquarium, bike rental or bike tour to Venice Beach)
8:00pm - Depart for Anaheim and runDisney event WOOT!!

I know it is a lot to pack in, but this is our one and only trip to the LA area and I am not sure the budget will allow for another hotel stay + activities. The only other things I would like to squeeze in are Rodeo Drive and a tour of the Walt Disney Concert Hall. Any other top touristy thing that has been omitted is intentional (like the Hollywood Sign as we can get a view of that from other stops on the list).

Any feedback is welcome and appreciated!

Note that Petersen Vault tours have to be booked in advance and are usually at 3pm and 5pm on the weekends.

One other thing you might consider is a concert at the Hollywood Bowl instead of a movie at the Grove. Otherwise it looks like a doable plan.
