EP4 | Universal Studios Hollywood VIP Tour | Part 1 Studio Tour and Lunch

Hello you and welcome to our California series!

If you've never watched us before we are a couple of Disney vloggers from London, England.

Links to our previous Walt Disney World and Disneyland Paris trips are down below for you to check out.

On this trip we flew BA Club World from Heathrow to Los Angeles [LHR to LAX] for Christmas and we stayed at the BLVD Hotel & Suites in Hollywood for five nights before heading down to Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel in Disneyland, Anaheim, for four nights.

We got an amazing bargain using our companion voucher from our BA American Express credit card. The flights cost £900 in total. For both of us. Flying BA Business Class.

Who could say 'no' to that?

Whilst in Hollywood we went on a Universal Studios Hollywood VIP tour; visited the huge and incredible Funko Hollywood store; mooched around Warner Bros on their studio tour; went to the Disney Studio Store Hollywood in search of pins; as well as our usual supermarket fun. On this trip not only do we go to Target but we also go to Ralphs.

On our drive down to Disneyland we stopped off at the oldest working McDonald's in the world and then enjoyed 5 days of magic in the happiest place on earth: Disneyland.

We have been before but this is our first attempt at vlogging there.

You'll see our room tour of Paradise Pier Hotel and we'll take you into both Disneyland Park and Disney's California Adventure. We'll show you the merch on offer and the rides that we go on. As usual there will be lots of screams.

We usually film on a GoPro Hero 7 Black, but for this trip we have upgraded to the GoPro Hero 8 Black. Looking back at the footage there are a few things we need to adjust before our next trip, but hey, you live and learn!

Today we are at Universal Studios Hollywood for the Vip Experience Tour. It’s our favourite day out ever. We only have enough time to spend one day at Universal whenever we’ve been in LA so this experience is perfect. You get escorted around the park by a host who gets you on all the rides without having to stand in the regular line; you get a buffet breakfast and a wonderful buffet lunch. When they take you on the Studio Tour element of the experience you get to ask around the sets and backlots - which you don’t get to do on the regular tour. And then once the host has taken you on everything the rest of the day is yours to go back on the rides you want. Your Vip Experience lanyard allows you to skip the lines as many times as you like. For anyone short on time, or who doesn’t like standing in long lines, or, like us, loves movie history, it’s the ideal option.

Now we’re not sponsored by Universal, but as we said we do love this day. It’s not cheap, but food is included and you get the bonus of not standing in line AND the added benefits of the studio tour.

Our day at Universal is split over two episodes. In this one you’ll see the buffet breakfast on offer; we’ll take you on the studio tour where we see the set for the tv show, Superstore, the same set where the shower scene in Psycho was filmed! We go on the Kong ride; we see a backlot used in Saving Mr Banks; we get to walk around the backlot used for The Good Place; we see the Psycho house and the crashed plane from War of the Worlds, we have a mooch around Back to the Future Square; and see where Captain America ran barefoot through the streets. You’ll also see an appearance from an infamous great white shark.

After the tour we head to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and ride the Flight of the Hippogriff before heading to lunch, hosted by Dracula, Marilyn Monroe and Doc Brown from Back to the Future.

In the second part of this wonderful day out you’ll see us go on The Mummy, The Simpsons, Transformers, Jurassic World; we’ll be doing lots of march shopping, and we end our night watching the projections and lights how on Hogwarts - so make sure you come back for that!
