Sky Studios

is it free to get into? or do you need a universal studios hollywood pass/ticket?

It’s completely free to walk but full of shops and restaurants so you will be tempted to spend some money. It’s really fun though even if you’re not going inside the park. Give it a go and have fun!!

So I go to this Modeling/Acting/Talent Management academy thingy. (It’s not a scam!)
And there’s this fieldtrip to Hollywood where we get to meet top agents and go to auditions and all these cool stuff ; But I feel like it’s nothing. Is this really an opportunity of a lifetime? Here’s the info I got from the site of the academy:

______ will personally host your trip and be your tour giude! Kevin Green of Rollover Hollywood (a casting service) will be your co-host.

This is the agency for Miley Cyrus, Jonathan Lipinski, James Garner, Mae Whitmen… and zillions of clients such as Disney, Pacific Sunwear, California Cheese, Olympus, Mattel and Sony!

Optional tours of the Hollywood Museum, Beverly Hills, Universal Studios and its City Walk, NBC studios (or similar studio), and a visit to the set of a live TV show filming!
*************

So that’s all the info. Should I go? The trip is pretty pricey but nothing I can’t handle.

Definitely not. Why would you waste your money? They get kickbacks and you won’t get cast. They don’t pick you up that way. Pay to go meet folks, so ridiculous. Taking advantage of starry eyes.

Its just name dropping bull… Go visit a live set, go tour an agency. Such a fake scam..

how does this itinerary look for 10 days in SoCal? my gf and I are 30 and want to see as much as we can while we are there. we are considering skipping Disneyland. We are going LA just for Magic Mountain and not sure what we should do for the other days. most of these ideas came from this place Y.A. and just need help with any rearranging. feel free to cut and paste what I have. you can delete what is there and replace it with something cooler or let me know if too much is packed into one day. also if something should be done on a weekday vs. a weekend feel free to switch things around.

Wednesday – check in Santa Monica Holiday Inn
Thursday – Magic Mountain
Friday – day trip to Santa Barbara
Saturday – Getty Center, Santa Monica, and Venice Beach
Sunday – Griffith Observatory, Griffith Park

Wednesday – Old Town
Thursday – San Diego Zoo

works for me… need to block some time in though,to catch all the celebs at their favorite watering holes, unless that sort of thing doesn’t appeal to you.

It was sort if like a waffle place? They sold waffles and fries and little dough nuts? Does anyone remember this? Cinnabon took over the establishment.

If you are talking about one that recently opened, it is Sparky’s.. Actually Sparkys has been there for years but they just added the mini-donut shop inside it. It is located just off the fountain court. z

I just want to party at Mardi Gras in Orlando’s Universal Studios. Do they do this event inside the Universal Studios park, (where I would have to buy an admission ticket), or is it done in City Walk?

Last time I was there, the major events were inside the park. So you would need a ticket.

I am assuming it is, but want to double check. And which is your favorite restaurant? I think we are either going to nba city or bubba gump shrimp. Thanks (we are going in June so I know we need to make reservations).
yes I do mean the city walk didn’t know you had to walk thru it to get in the park I have never been there before.

Yes, City Walk is within walking distance. In fact if you park in the parking deck for Universal Orlando, you will walk through CW on your way to the 2 parks.

Magarittavile is our favorite restaurant in CW. Latin Quarter we really enjoy ordering from the quick service window and sitting outside.

I am going to Los Angeles in January and want to take an organised tour as i will not have a car. Does anybody know of any good ones? I have been three times before, but my boyfriend has never been so we want to see all the touristy stuff: Hollywood sign, Universal studios, Chinese theatre, walk of fame, hollywood bowl.
Thanks

I know there are good tours out in Los Angeles cause i took one when i went there. Just go to the hotel desk where you are staying at and im sure they will have some that you could choose from. The one that i took was good, we went through hollywood and saw some famous peoples houses. We also went to Rodeo Drive and Downtown LA. Our tour let us get off the bus and walk around for lik 30 minutes at each stop so that was pretty cool. Make sure you pick a tour bus that lets you get off so you can really see the sights of LA. Have fun.

If I was to walk from Ralphs, near Universal City to the main stores in Studio City on Ventura Boulevard, the Gap, Urban Outfitters, etc.

Is it an okay area?

It’s fine. I’d let my teen walk it. Just watch for cars when you’re crossing streets. = )

Have fun!

Can anyone tell me how much the food costs at Pinz bowling center in studio city, ca?? and also how do i pay for lanes …..should i reserve before going or am i fine walking in and getting a lane ?

It’s one of the nicest bowling alleys I have been to. The lane with shoes on a weekday is only like ten bucks, and the drinks are moderately priced. On weekdns they are really busy but don’t take reservations, so you’d have to wait, usually anywhere from 20 minutes to 2 hours.

where going in the middle of june around the 14, how crowded is it at this time, also what are some of the good rides and how old do you have to be to go to city walk

I’ll warn you now, it is very hot around that time of year and very crowded since people go on vacation during the summer alot. But, if you stay in at the Royal Pacific hotel, the Portofino hotel, or the Hard Rock hotel, you can automatically bypass the huge lines for rides with your room key

If you look roller coasters alot you should go on:
Dueling Dragons
The Incredible Hulk
Revenge Of The Mummy
Doctor Doom’s Fearfall
Hollywood rip Ride Rockit should be coming out soon

If you like regular rides:
Shrek 4-D
The simpsons Ride
Jaws
Disaster
Men In Black
The Jimmy Nuetron ride
E.T. (Only for if you have kids or like really slow nice rides)
Terminator 3-D
The amazing adventures of spider man
Jurassic Park river adventure

Here’s the link to tell you alot about Citywalk:
