As I mentioned in a previous post, I just joined D23. I am going to take a tour of the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank on Saturday morning at 9:30 AM. Cost is $60 and I can have one guest accompany me if there is still room on the tour. If anyone is interested, in this tour, please let me know. First one to say yes and pay WINS!!

Disney and Minnie), and a 14-foot bronze replica of the Disney Legends Award.
Guests on the tour also have the chance to see and visit many popular Studio locales including the Mickey Avenue/Dopey Drive sign used in The Reluctant Dragon, the impressive Disney Studios water tower (and find out why it has six legs!), the remaining backlot street used in taping such ABC shows as Brothers & Sisters, No Ordinary Family, Body of Proof, and GCB, as well as some of the historic soundstages used for filming such Disney live-action movie classics as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Mary Poppins, and Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.
There will also be the opportunity to purchase select D23 exclusive merchandise. We will be hosting eight (8) tours on each day. Each tour can accommodate 25 participants.
