    Trip Report Loco goes to Hollywood!

    It really was fantastic. We did the deluxe tour which wasn’t cheap, but so worth it! Thanks, we had a blast! You’re most certainly welcome my friend! They had a ton of BBT stuff on display! Also lots of young Sheldon stuff was still set up from the final season! Haha, thanks for the well...

    Trip Report Shortest Retirement in History?

    I hate wet shoes too. The DLR version of splash was a one and done for me and I refuse to ride Kali River Rapids again(don’t get me started on the water rides at universal). I hope they turn the water effects back down on Tiana’s soon.

    Trip Report Loco goes to Hollywood!

    Day eight. A few more from the end of the tour. Some serious hardware on display. Here’s looking at you, kid. A few final props to end the tour. We had such a great time on this tour! It was one of our favorite parts of this trip! That night we got to participate in one more TV...

    Trip Report Loco goes to Hollywood!

    Day eight. There were a few exhibits about some tricks of the trade, like forced perspective. A almost looks as big as I am. There were a lot of Friends displays. Interestingly Matthew Perry was quite a bit taller than his co stars. Could I be any more relaxed?! The final portion of the...

    Trip Report Loco goes to Hollywood!

    Day 8 continued. Lunch was included with the tour. The second leg of the tour is a walkthrough exhibit featuring even more costumes, props, and even sets. The central perks set was used for the Friends reunion a few years back. Several sets from Big Bang were preserved here...

    Trip Report Loco goes to Hollywood!

    Day 8 continued. This fountain may look familiar to some people. The giant orange couch is a dead giveaway. The tour of the prop shop was overwhelming. There’s millions of props stored in this massive warehouse. It was so cool seeing some rather famous props just lying around. We weren’t...

    Trip Report Loco goes to Hollywood!

    Day 8 Our last day in CA. We didn’t have far to walk to our destination. They had several interesting items on display in the lobby. This is Phoebe’s guitar from friends. Jack Warner had some pretty important phone numbers! The backlot tour starts with “town square”. It was stripped...

    Trip Report Loco goes to Hollywood!

    There was a guy trying to sell us illegal drugs in broad daylight. I had to get pretty ugly with him to get him to go away. Definitely some shady characters around, especially if you go past the Chinese theater in either direction.

    Trip Report Loco goes to Hollywood!

    Day seven. Our tour guide drove us in a minivan. This allowed us access to Hollywood hills park, which forbids the big tour buses and vans. The tour was mostly about the history of the area and less so about seeing the gates of celebrity houses. We did get to stop by the hocus pocus house...

    Trip Report Loco goes to Hollywood!

    Day seven. We spent this day doing basic tourist stuff around Hollywood. I found a small group tour operator to guide us and one other couple around town for the morning. We arrived early and checked out the front of the Chinese Theater to kill some time. Some random foot and hand prints...

    Trip Report Loco goes to Hollywood!

    I’m ok with it I guess. He won an MVP, was a five time all star, and helped the team to a World Series championship. Him leaving sucked, and went down in a bizarre way, but Matt Olson has proven to be a worthy replacement.

    Trip Report Loco goes to Hollywood!

    Day six. Our evening activity was a game at Dodger Stadium! It had long been on our bucket list, so this was a big deal for us! The fact the they were hosting our local Texas Rangers team was a fun bonus. I had fun interacting with the locals about the game, they were good sports! The...

    Trip Report Loco goes to Hollywood!

    Day six. We got some much needed sleep and awoke late in the morning feeling refreshed. We made the “walk of shame” through the lobby and hailed a ride up to Burbank for the second leg of our trip. Thankfully traffic was “light” and we made it in under an hour. We were fortunate to have a room...

    Trip Report Loco goes to Hollywood!

    As someone who was born in Louisiana(sort of, Shreveport), and has spent a lot of time in all parts of the state, I would agree. You could tell the roux was from one of those pre made packs, but it was better than I expected. We do have a ton of fun! I’m glad you enjoy!
