I all the photos of Walt at Steakhouse 55. I will have to try & work that into my Disneyland plans. I am already planning but with this being an Adventures by Disney trip they do alot of the planning for you.

that the Disneyland part is over, but I know there is more Disney magic coming so that makes it not as sad.

Another awesome TR. It got me really excited about my Disneyland trip in March. I can't wait to read about the rest of your trip. I'm guessing you went to Universal Studios Hollywood? Exciting! Looking forward to more!

Thank you! How fun! I wish I was going back in March. No, we didn't make it to Universal Studios this time. We actually stayed in the hotel right next to the theme park and actual Studios, but didn't go. New time!

Well Lindsey you've done it. I'm in the process of talking my DH into doing a double dip trip next year. I'm hoping to be able to go to WDW and then fly from there to DL. He is really starting to come around. Wish me luck! And thank you for all the great trip reports with all the great information you put into them.

Awwww...thanks!
Good Luck!
I am keeping my fingers crossed for ya!
Keep whispering it in his ear every night when he is asleep!

You will have to let me know about the Adventures by Disney.
I know of it, but I really don't know that much about it at all.
I can't wait to hear about it!

Hi everyone!


I'm going to do a quick run through of the rest of our California Christmas! I want to make sure to include a lot, but I won't be going in as much detail as I did with my Disneyland Trip Report. This way I can post a lot of my pictures! We did A LOT and went to many places, so I definitely want to share it all with you!

Be looking forward to posts full of pictures and come tour California with me!

Welcome to Universal City




We left Disneyland and checked into our home for the next four nights. We were staying at the Hilton, which was right next to Universal Studios, the actual studios and the theme park in Universal City, CA. The Hilton was beautiful and we had a fantastic view and room.

Our View-
You can see the entrance to Universal Studios Theme Park to the left

We spent a relaxing evening in Universal City and did some of our own touring about Los Angeles. We spent the evening at City Walk, which was right across the street from us. It was walking distance and it had the best restuarants to choose from.

WB Studios




We woke up early the next day because we were going on a black lot tour at Warner Brothers Studios and I couldn't wait. We got to WD Studios early and we were also able to get a discount because of the Writer's Strike, which sadly didn't end by the time we got to Los Angles. Even worse, it's still going on! Yes, picketers were a highlight of our trip, along with honking and people cursing at them from their cars. Oh, how I love LA!

Set at WB Studios

The Seavers' Home in "Growing Pains"

The Gellers' Home in "Friends"

We were able to go inside "The Tellers" home, which was fun because this is where they filmed some of my favorite "Friends" episodes. All of the flashback episodes pretty much had a scene in this house, including the Prom Video, which was the best! Everyone, including me, thinks DH looks like Ross aka David Schwimmer, so I had to have him sit on the staircase where he sat in that episode before Rachael and Monica went to the prom.

Then, we went to the working-set of "ER," where we got to see the "actual" hospital and ambulances. You'll recognize this from almost every opening scene in "ER" or any scenes right outside the hospital.

We visited a small museum area, where they hosed all of the famous vehicles used in many WB films. I'm sure you will recognize them all!

The Batmobile

Ron's flying car from "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets"

The General Lee from "The Dukes of Hazzard"

Now, the most exciting part of the tour for me was going on the actual set of "Friends!" It's the actual set for Central Perk, they just moved it from the stage to a different location. I kept waiting for the gang to appear!

Here’s the famous WB water tower, which is now just for decoration. Anyone else an "Animaniacs" fan here? I just kept thinking of it as Yakko, Wakko, & Dot's home and thought they should pop put at any moment.

More Soon!

I am on my way to the rest of your trippie.
I will be sure to write a trip report about our Adventures by Disney trip. It is going to be so exciting.

 

[jnjusoioa]

Lindsey, so sad to see your Disney trippie come to an end, but I will be sure to jump over to the rest of your trippie as California has a very special place in my heart. I have a funny feeling there will be other special Disney touches with the rest of your trippie.

Great trip report - thank you! We were in DL the same time as you last May, it sounds like. We were bummed to miss the opening of Nemo and the POC on the island! We are planning our next trip for this June and we can't decide if we should do a few days in LA or not, so it was nice to read your TR.

Thanks!
