Like Disneyland, there is Downtown Disney. So I’m wondering if there is something like that for Universal Studios? If so, does it cost anything or is it free like Disney?

Yeah, it’s City Walk. There’s all these stores and food places, a movie theatre, carts along the sidewalk and it’s pretty similar to Downtown Disney. It’s free to enter but you do have to pay for parking.

Opportunity of a lifetime?

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.
"Send-Off Night"- Thursday March 25th, 2010 @ 7pm at ____ Academy
Hospitality Welcome @ 8:00pm Wednesday March 31st, 2010 at the Hotel in LA
Two Nights stay at the Hollywood Celebrity Hotel (Double Occupancy: King, 2 Queens, or Suites available for additional fee
Transportation to and from agencies and auditions
A panel of 5 agents and casting directors will personally interview and/or audition you, talk about your career goals, portfolio, resume, etc. This includes the castin agency of Michael Jackson’s "This Is It", and the TV hit series "Glee"!
Tour of Telemundo TV Broadcasting Studios!
Tour of an L.A. agency and personal career seminar by Carol Lynn Sher, Agent. Cunningham-Escott-Slevin-Deoherty (aka CESD) will be the agency visited. 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!
Tour of K.S.R. top L.A. agency and personal career presentations by agents Jody Alexander and Bonnie Ventis. Auditions conducted in agency’s voice-over booth and there will be personal coaching by the agent!
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..

Where can I physically go and get Universal Studios discount?

I was planning to go to universal studios this weekend and realized the tickets are like 70 dollars! So I was wondering if there were any stores or companies that offer coupons that will give me a discount to Universal Studios
————-example) those coupons for Knott’s Berry Farm that they give at Baskin Robins——————-
THANK YOU TAHNK YOU THANK YOU! <3

Premier theme parks such as Disney and Universal don’t do discounts like local parks, where you can just pick them up at the grocery store or something. The best discounts for Universal are on their website.

What theme park is more kid friendly for a 3 year old and a 10 year old magic mountain or universal studios?

Where can I get Entertainment book for Los Angeles (UStud and DisneyLand) and Las Vegas area?

admin — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 01:06:11 +0000

Hi, I am going for a visit to Universal Studios and Disneyland in Los Angeles, CA, and also to Las Vegas area with my family of 6. I have checked ticket prices and they are very expensive. I also have heard that some Entertainment books contain coupons. Where can I get the book or coupons?

Hello,
There are a couple ways that you can get an Entertainment Guide. I believe the easiest is to go to their website and order directly.http://orange-county.entertainment.com/discount/home.shtml . This is a direct link to order a Orange county Entertainment guide. Do know that you will have to purchase a guide for each respective area. Los Angeles, Orange County and Las Vegas areas. The LA guide is currently going for $21,OC guide is $24, the Vegas guide is $24.You can also call customer service at 888-231-7283. If you have a CVS drugstore close they sell local guides and you can purchase when you get LA. I hope this info helps.

I will be 18 weeks pregnant what theme park is better, Islands of Adventure or Universal Studios?

admin — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 23:56:47 +0000

I want to be able to ride some rides, were mainly purchasing tickets so we can get into the Mardi Gras Akon concert (march 6th) which amusement park will suite my needs best?

Universal they have activities that you can do that there is no movement, such as Shrek make sure you let them know you are expecting you will be put in a non movement chair. You will still experience the rest of the show, but you will not feel the galloping which is a jerking motion. This is the same for the others such as the earthquake (I believe its a different name now though, but will always be earthquake to me). Men in Black and some others. If you are purchasing tickets for Madri Gras you might get a ticket for both parks. Islands of Adventure has the Seuss land which has smaller and easier rides. I am an adult and still love that place.

admin — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 23:56:26 +0000

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
Monday – Farmer’s Market and Hollywood & Highland
Tuesday – Univ Studios and City Walk

Wednesday – Old Town
Thursday – San Diego Zoo
Friday – Balboa Park
Saturday – Coronado, LaJolla, and kayak the LaJolla caves
Sunday – check out of some cheap San Diego hotel, drive back to LAX and fly home

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.

What is the best studio to record an acoustic duo at in Los Angeles. A live recording that sounds amazing?

admin — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 21:51:05 +0000

I would like to record myself at a studio in Los Angeles. It is an acoustic duo, Acoustic Guitar and Acoustic Bass. What is the best studio to record this style at? I would like to put together a 3 song demo together to send to labels and venues. Therefore I think a live recording would be best.

The best thing you could do is listen to CDs by other acoustic acts from the LA area and see where they recorded. You could also attend their shows and ask them in person, since they’d probably be the best source of information. It’s quite possible they didn’t record at a big studio, since lots of people have home studios where they can achieve the same quality at a fraction of the cost. And if you find an act you like that recorded their CD in a home studio, there’s a good chance they’d jump at the chance to record yours. My brother has a full ProTools studio in his house and he’s won awards for CDs he’s recorded there, though he charges a lot less than studios that operate as stand-alone businesses. The technology today is such that you might be better off working in the home studio of someone who specializes in your style of music. Good luck!

When does the Harry Potter theme park in Orlando Studios open up?

admin — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 21:50:52 +0000

I am a crazy harry potter fan and saw the commercial for the theme park and am now going crazy because i have to go. do you know what day it opens up? I practically cried when seeing the pictures of it online.

The theme park is supposed to open in spring 2010 which means most likely sometime in late April or May.

I recently went to the park, Islands of Adventure, and saw the progress they made, and let me say it looks so cool. The castle is HUGE and looks just like it does in the movies and the village looks pretty cool too.

If you own the half blood prince dvd or can rent it, there is a feature on there that shows what the park will look like.

Hope this helped.

Does anyone remember this eatery at Universal Studios City Walk Hollywood? 5 stars whoever knows?

admin — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 21:50:33 +0000

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
