OK, so we bought Deluxe Annual Passes for Universal Studios Hollywood so we can enjoy one of our favourite parks whenever we want and for however long we want during our three weeks in L.A. this summer. But we've always wanted to do the VIP Tour - was going to try and do it in 2004 but we just didn't have the time. And considering that the AP's are soooo cheap, and what you get to see and do on the tour is amazing, we are just thinking why not!!
But one of my major reasons on wanting to do it (I wanted to do it back in 2004 before the show even hit air but this has pushed me into wanting to do it even more now) is to get to go down Colonial Street/Wisteria Lane - HUGE Desperate Housewives fan here!!
I know that the ordinary Studio Tour trams go down there on certain days when they're not filming so will be able to see it even if I don't do the VIP Tour but I've heard from so many people that they have got to walk on the sidewalk of the famous street and have their picture taken out front of a couple of the houses.
Because this would be the highlight of the tour for me I'd obviously really want to go on a day where I am either certain (if there's such a thing at Universal - movie/TV making can be unpredictable at times) or have a good chance of getting to go down Colonial Street. I'd hate to spend $150 on each ticket then end up being somewhat (I would NEVER be totally disappointed - I am a movie nut so getting to see everything else would already be a dream come true) disappointed having not been down the street.
I e-mailed Customer Care Services at Universal yesterday but was just wondering whether any of you guys out there had any info. on shooting days and what's the best day to go - as you probably go more frequently than me. Ultimately I think I'm going to have to call Universal Holywood direct to find out but thought I'd give here a shot too.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. We'd like to book the tour for August 9, 2006 - my birthday. Obviously shooting schedules permitting. Otherwise any weekday in early August.
