Yes, sadly they are not on the news anymore here in SpainThe fact that mosquitos made the news should say it all.

We are doing it too and I have a question: how humid is it in California? I have seen that, at the hottest time of day, the humidity is around 30%. Is it like that always? Is it usually dry? Or humid like Orlando?
I'll be doing Universal this Saturday and Sunday before the ABD starts, so I'll let you know how it goes,My husband and I are booked on the DIS ABD Backstage Magic October 1-6. Can't wait! (Well, I can't wait since I'm the Disney fan in our union. Him? He's being a really good sport! LOL) We're actually coming in a day early on Saturday, September 30. We get to LAX at an ungodly early hour (8am!!). Trying to decide on what to do that Saturday. It's either Universal or the Motion Picture Academy Museum. Kinda want to do Universal, but I don't want to start this strenuous ABD already worn out!
I loved the Academy Museum! It's really fascinating. Loved the costumes and the props and the videos and the "making of" background stuff. We were there around 4 hours, and really enjoyed it.My husband and I are booked on the DIS ABD Backstage Magic October 1-6. Can't wait! (Well, I can't wait since I'm the Disney fan in our union. Him?

I would do Warner Bros Studios if you are really into movies and TV series.My husband and I are booked on the DIS ABD Backstage Magic October 1-6. Can't wait!

I reaaaallly wanted to do the Warners and Sony Studio tours -- but they're only available on weekdays. Closed on weekends ... and this is for Saturday. Oh, well...I would do Warner Bros Studios if you are really into movies and TV series.
The nerd in me says you should go to Griffith Observatory haha
I think that's the way it's going to be for us, too. He'll grouse a little, and roll his eyes a bit -- but tell him we're going to see stuff that the general public doesn't get a chance to? He's all over that. LOLNice that he's being a good sport!
I'm also the bigger the Disney fan in our union, but I've successfully converted my husband through years of training, lol. He won't say he's excited but he'll show it once we're there and are shown cool stuff.
If your husband likes seeing how things work, he'll love this trip.I think that's the way it's going to be for us, too. He'll grouse a little, and roll his eyes a bit -- but tell him we're going to see stuff that the general public doesn't get a chance to? He's all over that. LOL
Actually, I'M the one that likes to see how things work, know the history, get the inside scoop, etc. He's more the "if it's a special perk, I'm there!" kinda guy.If your husband likes seeing how things work, he'll love this trip.
He'll be hooked the first morning you enter Disneyland. No spoilers, but it's about the most special perk you can get.Actually, I'M the one that likes to see how things work, know the history, get the inside scoop, etc. He's more the "if it's a special perk, I'm there!" kinda guy.
If I had more time I would love to try this one day. Universal does a great job with their tours.Before my last Backstage Magic we did Universal VIP tour and it was awesome! So much so that I did it again . I loved the mix of the studio and the theme park. We stayed at the Hilton right across the street and took an Uber on Sunday to Lowe's to start our ABD. I'd definitely recommend it.
Thanks for this tip! It's a bit pricey but then we're already spending plenty on the ABD tour, what's another $400 per person? Lol.Before my last Backstage Magic we did Universal VIP tour and it was awesome! So much so that I did it again . I loved the mix of the studio and the theme park.

Yes- it is definitely a little more expensive than just the normal tickets. It includes breakfast, a backlot tour with special access depending on the day you are there (we got to tour the stage they filmed Superstore since they weren't filming that day), front of the line access on multiple rides/experiences, a fantastic lunch and then it turned into the express pass after the tour was over for the rest of the day. I've done it twice in Hollywood and once in Orlando and wouldn't hesitate to do it again.Thanks for this tip!

Tough because we could do 2 day tickets plus the early entry for Nintendo world on Sunday for both of us for the price of one VIP tour... Hm.
