Up early for the first tour group - at Warner Bros Studios, where recently the movies Great Gatsby and the Millers was filmed.   Other shows currently being broadcasted, include Ellen, True Blood, Two and Half Men, Big Bang Theory, Dr Phil and so the list goes.

Great tour, saw the fake outside settings, including all the greenery that looks real.   Then went on to see some streets made up for Hart of Dixie which followed by seeing the studio sets for the same series. The stars still have the vans for makeup, costume dressing etc. I thought that was old fashioned but no there are vans everywhere with names of stars on them.

We saw the studio owned cars, Duke of Hazzard, Batman, and recently the Gatsby Car, then went onto to see the prop warehouse, it's huge, Max's shoe phone, pools of blood, fake saucepans for banging actors heads.   One of the highlights of the tour was the chance to go on the set of "Friends" Perk Café, everything left as it was - we got to sit on the original Friends couch.

We learnt about the green set, Mum and I had a go at some acting for a finished photo shoot, and it worked out well, Mum is a better actor than me though!

Interesting fact - Warner Bros Daffy Duck was supposed to be the famous star however he ended up coming second best when Bugs Bunny became more popular, so yep that is why Daffy is always unhappy with Bugs when you see him in a skit!

At 11am we were at Universal Studios with a First in Line Pass, worth every cent.   Saw the Waterworld Show, where an airplane fell from the sky into the water, stopping short of the audience, then went on to see the
