    Avatar Exhibit

    COVID-19: Social distancing is not enforced at this establishment. Some of the staff wears a mask. All visitors are not expected to wear a mask. It's optional now. There are no hand sanitizers available for visitors to use. This place is open and available with no limited capacity. They are not sanitizing in between visitors. COVID-19 Vaccination Proof: This establishment currently does not require proof of vaccination. While I was here in this establishment several days ago, I asked if they had any special offers and they weren't offering any at the moment. They also do not allow pets in their establishment UNLESS it's a service animal. Parking: The parking lot for this establishment is pretty big, but I was warned by a friend that getting out of the lot can be a massive headache, so he told me to park on the street and walk over. I am glad I listened to him. I did take a look at the parking lot, and the lot is big. Each parking spot looks pretty massive. The lot does get full very quickly, so I am sure glad that I parked on the street and walked over. As always, read the signs carefully when parking on the street. Establishment: The establishment itself is very massive, cute, neat, and tidy. I got a short tour of a sound stage, which basically served as a mini Avatar museum. The exhibit was very well curated and organized. It was so cool to see Deborah Lynn Scott's costume designs in person. I was so mind blown. Staff: The staff here are very kind, friendly, welcoming, polite, professional, and courteous. Overall Experience: Holy smokes! This was totally THE highlight of my year. Meeting James Cameron, checking out the Avatar Exhibit, and attending a private screening of Avatar: Fire and Ash was such a surreal experience. Ben, if you are reading this, you are such an amazing friend. I truly am so grateful for you. You made my year. It has been several days now after the event, and I still feel like I am on cloud 9. Thank you so much again for making my dream a reality. I am so glad we met through our shared hobby of autograph collecting. May we stay friends forever.

    Sooooo much holiday fun at the D23 Jolly Holiday Party! We enjoyed the carnival games, the giant slide, the cookie decorating, the entertainment, the character photo ops, the animation building and of course getting a selfie with Santa!

    I haven't been here for a studio tour yet, but I attended their D23 Holiday Event and it was so fun! I totally recommend it if you ever have the chance to go. You get the Disney experience without actually being at Disneyland. My kids saw and took pics with more characters than they did when we last went to Disneyland. We got pics with Goofy, Donald, Jack Skellington, Chip & Dale, AND Santa. The lines for Mickey & Minnie were the longest of course and we missed out on pics with them. They had lots of freebies which I was kind of surprised to get. We got light up ears, light up Mickey necklaces, light up wands, Tiana ornaments, Hulu branded shoelaces, and Lorcana trading cards. Oh and parking was FREE! They also had water stations, candied/caramel apples, hot chocolate, balloons, and other activities everyone could enjoy (included with the entrance fee). Yes, it does get crowded but if you give yourself enough time and plan out your visit, you can do almost everything. Almost. We prioritized character pics. We did miss out on shopping. If we got there earlier we could have shopped first. The event is only a few hours so make sure you get there when it starts. TLDR: So fun. Definitely go if you love Disney.

    We had an invite as Club 33 members to an early access to view Freakier Friday in Disney Studios. The food was delicious and the whole experience was amazing. The atmosphere felt so elite. And the items in the studio store were amazing. I kind of went too happy shopping in the store. But, I loved just being on site where so many Disney movies and shows are recorded.

    TWDC Studios D23 events are FUN-tastic providing plenty of entertainment, food, and shopping. These events are for all guests. 3 months, 3 events in 2023 Oct - D100: D23 Royal Anniversary Ball Nov - TWDC Studio Tour Dec - Light Up The Season (Tree lights) All were 5-Stars. ***** But just like the Parks & Resorts, one will need to make a reservation through D23 to take the Studio Tour or attend Studios events. Happy party time during the Season for a Reason!!

    I was fortunate to attend a private movie showing at thee Walt Disney Studios. Words can't express how grateful I am to attend or describe the studios. Humbled to experience, walk and sit in a theater where they have premiers. Top experience for sure.

    Recreation of how Walt Disney would organize one of his offices (recreation is a loose term as most items here are genuine)

    *Review of the studio tour* I'm a casual Disney fan but my sister, who's a big Disney fan, really wanted to go on the tour but not by herself. I ended up accompanying her (she paid for my ticket so why not? lol). Pretty organized tour with a little bit of everything. Huge props to the tour guide as she was super informative even giving relevant tidbits based on her own experience of working in the film industry for many years. My sister and other guests in the same group were in awe from beginning to end. For me, I was fascinated during the majority of the tour but I was beginning to tap out especially in the last 30 minutes lol (the tour is approximately 2 hours long). An exhibit-style walking tour for the most part. Would've been cool to have inside access to the studio lot sound stage rooms but proprietary reasons forbade it I'm guessing. Overall I'll say that this is a great tour if you have prospects of working here or simply seek the exclusive opportunity of walking around the studio campus (under supervision of course) while learning its bountiful history.

    My sister really wanted to go on the Walt Disney studio tour back in Fall 2022. So she purchased the D23 Duo Gold membership so she could have a better chance of booking a studio tour once the new dates came out for Nov and Dec. I like Disney. However, I'm not the kind of person who would willingly shell out a lot of money for a Disney experience. But because she really wanted to tour Disney studios, I went along as her companion. The entire studio tour lasted about 2 hours. Our guide was really nice and courteous :) ! But because the studio lot is pretty small, I felt like there wasn't a whole lot to see. The highlights are mainly Walt Disney's office and Pluto's Corner. The employees were setting up props outside for "Beauty and the Beast" live. We also got to hold one of the 20+ Oscars that Walt Disney won in his lifetime :D ! A real Oscar is pretty heavy! At least for our small hands! But other than that, I personally didn't feel like it was worth the money we paid for the tour. Even with D23 membership, there wasn't a huge discount for the studio tour tickets and we still had to pay about $99 per person, which I think is pretty steep for a super simplistic and "no frills" studio tour. For what we actually saw, i felt like it really should have been 1/3 or 1/2 the price we paid. They do hand out collector pins at the end of the tour though :) ! I just went on the Warner Bros classic studio tour earlier this month and found it to be SO much better, much more reasonably priced, and a LOT more to see :) ! I would recommend saving your money for that studio tour instead ;) !

    I recently had a baby shower for my sister at the Violet Cactus, and everything was so beautiful…read more The ambiance was amazing, and the amenities that come with the package definitely take all the extra stress away. Everyone was so professional and kind, and they didn't miss a single detail. Karen was there making sure everything was set up and running smoothly, and she was so professional and amazing. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone hosting a small or intimate event. The only downside to my experience was the balloon company I used from their preferred vendor list (Ravens Decor and More). I would say you definitely need to double check and even triple check to make sure Raven gets the balloon colors exactly right. Even though it was confirmed that she understood what I wanted, you can see the difference in the photos of what I requested and what I received. I told her I was hosting a classic Winnie the Pooh baby shower for my sister and wanted neutral colors (beige, sage, and blush) for a baby girl. After our phone call, she sent me an AI-generated mockup using those colors I asked for. I absolutely loved it, so I paid the $100 deposit and booked her services ($290 total). On the day of the shower, I was shocked and blindsided because the balloon colors looked nothing like the mockup or what I had requested. I understand an AI mockup won't be identical to the final product, but the difference was far greater than expected. I had also purchased balloons for the welcome sign in the same colors as the mockup, and the contrast between those and the balloon arch was obvious.Since guests were going to be arriving soon, I had no choice but to accept it and move on. My family and I believe strongly in respecting customer service and tipping, so I still gave her a 20% tip. My only regret was tipping that much instead of simply paying the remaining balance of $190 after she finished. I booked her based on the mockup she provided, but the final balloon colors were completely different. The colors were so different that they took away from the soft, neutral look I was trying to achieve for the shower. Overall, the baby shower was wonderful, and my sister had a great time. My only disappointment was that the balloon colors were so different from what I had specifically requested.

    I had my baby's first birthday here and I was really happy with it…read more I have passed by here so many times and considered it for a previous event because I thought it was too small of a space for what I needed. I was wrong. The Studio is so spacious and so nicely decorated. They have the tables, greenery, good hoop, dessert and drinks area, outdoor area and bathrooms. They are very accommodating to your vendors and the party hosts are so pleasant to work with. The downside is that there is no elevator which can be tricky when someone isn't fully mobile or if you want to have a vendor upstairs as they might charge extra for stairs. They have host and vendor parking in the back and plenty of street parking for the guests.

    I wish to share what an excellent experience we had shooting at CML Studios. Carlos helped us out…read moreand took care of all the details we needed. This stage has two stages. One large and one medium. Carlos can accommodate any size shoot. There are background sections available with all lights and grip you can order for your shoot. I brought in all my lighting and grip. The stages were clean and the audio was excellent. They did a lot of prep work to make sure the walls are sound proof. We needed a white background with a make-up room, green room and enough space to stage all of our equipment. CML has this and a lot more. The large stage has three large ready to go backgrounds with Cycs. One is a back background with black Cyc. The other is a white background with Cyc and the most impressive is the greenscreen background. The green screen background is fully back lit. Space lights evenly light the entire background. All you have to do is light your talent and ready to shoot. There is parking and the area is near Walmart, Lowes and has plenty of restaurants that are five minutes away. This is a great location. It is right off the Empire exit on the 5fwy. Easy access for all talent. This is an excellent stage with great management. I highly recommend CML studios.

It looked great on camera and everything was as described and worked well for us - the Leko light that was already hung in the black cyc came in particularly clutch. Communication was fantastic and the grip and lighting gear we rented from CML worked great. The dressing room and kitchen were also excellent - we had everything we needed and plenty of room for lunch. It was great to be able to have off-street parking as well. Carlos was fantastic to deal with from start to finish. I highly recommend and would definitely rent again.
