After a one-day pause from theme parks, we did our last one: Universal Studios Hollywood.

We signed up for day trip from Gray Line tours in Anaheim. They picked us up at our hotel and deposited us at larger facility where we boarded a shuttle bus to Universal Studios for the (1-1.5 hr trip, depending on traffic).

The highlight of the trip is the studio tour. That’s the first thing we did. You’ll get to see the backlot with the town square, the old West, Jaws, the Whoville set, the Bates Motel, and a disaster set.

After that, we headed to the theme park area. My favorite part here was The Simpsons area. We also did Shrek, The Transformers, The Mummy, and the Jurassic Park rides.

A good trip to see how movie magic is made!
