0:25
just going to have a day at Universal
0:27
Studios
0:28
Hollywood in December
0:30
foggy today it's kind of burning off now
0:32
but earlier it was very very foggy I was
0:35
looking out the window which last time I
0:37
was here I was noticing that as well so
0:40
the last couple times I've been in
0:43
Hollywood in the mornings there's a lot
0:45
of
0:51
fog
0:51
just I don't know why I'm stating that
0:53
join me sh oo Santa's Village I checked
0:58
in last night and the associate at the
1:00
front she was telling me that this is
1:01
the first year they have done this cuz I
1:04
said I think I've stayed here before in
1:05
December and I don't recall Christmas
1:07
stuff being up she go oh this is the
1:08
first year that we have done this so
1:11
according to her this is the first time
1:14
Santa's
1:15
Village do not feed the fish but they
1:18
don't say anything about not feeding the
1:21
turtles oh hello fish you were splashing
1:23
around
1:25
there where I up the turtle just dropped
1:27
off I see what they did
1:30
see the turtle was up on the
1:32
Rocks I was going to film the turtle and
1:35
the fish distracted me what's going on
1:36
over
1:38
here
1:39
Congregation of
1:42
koi be a good band name it's kind of
1:44
nice have a nice little seating area out
1:46
here they've also put up a ice skating
1:52
rink called holidays on the hill an ice
1:55
skating rink Santa's work workshop and
1:58
they're pointing over there to where
2:00
the entrance to Universal Studios is I
2:02
wonder if this is probably not real ice
2:04
it's just like they have in celebration
2:06
with the the plastic ice the sun is
2:09
definitely popping up to burn that fog
2:11
off I know I'm concentrating on the fog
2:12
quite a bit looks to be like a plastic
2:16
ice skating rink you know I'm going to
2:17
walk over there just to double check D
2:18
no it looks like it is in fact iced
2:24
okay nicely
2:26
done Universal Hilton nicely done
2:30
all the decorations obviously later this
2:32
evening is when this kind of gets going
2:35
to be a beehive of activity but it's
2:36
nice and quiet out here now as I walk
2:38
over to Universal allseeing minion
2:49
eyeball do all minions have one
2:49
eye cyclop
2:57
style I think so maybe there are I don't
2:57
know holidays on the hill that's what
2:59
Hilton's calling it
3:11
trees I like taking that staircase right
3:13
over the escalator over there gin
3:16
parking notice it does not say
3:17
Frankenstein's monster parking and that
3:20
is not a doctor up there that is the
3:22
monster but yet it says
3:24
Frankenstein note that so if you chime
3:27
into someone who sees Frankenstein 's
3:30
monster walking around and calls them
3:33
Frankenstein and correct them you must
3:36
also correct Universal Studios Hollywood
3:38
as well I'm not going to correct that
3:41
because I call Frankenstein's monster
3:43
Frankie and Frankenstein when I see him
3:45
so for me it's perfectly fine also
3:48
Frankie here might be the only person
3:50
still in late
3:52
2024 that is still dabbing is that what
3:55
they call that
4:03
spoken like a true 50-year-old I have no
4:03
idea I'm just remembering that was like
4:05
a thing a few years ago the leaves look
4:06
at this leaves changing in here a little
4:09
bit late in the game to be changing but
4:10
it is so Cal so this is the time of the
4:13
year where the leaves are still on their
4:15
final changing rotation got the got the
4:20
neon over there the classic Universe
4:22
Studios Hollywood side at the top of the
4:25
fountain and here's another iconic
4:27
structure of Universal Studios Hollywood
4:29
would I've always heard a rumor this
4:31
used to be at University stos Florida
4:32
and they moved it over here but I've
4:34
never actually factually confirmed that
4:37
I've seen people post about that and
4:38
talk about it and I've said it but
4:40
really in all actuality I don't know for
4:42
sure I've never seen photos of them
4:44
moving it over here but
4:47
evidently evidently it was out there and
4:50
now it's over here on the West Coast and
4:52
even in the gift shop check it out the
4:53
small sphere the small globe in the gift
4:55

5:27
there's the tree imagine they will have
5:28
a tree lighting a little bit later I
5:30
also had to renew my annual pass I
5:32
didn't realize my annual pass expired on
5:34
December 2nd couple days ago so I had to
5:37
renew my annual pass and I was given a
5:40
lanyard to go to the after hours annual
5:44

6:08
such a smiley guy for such an unhappy
6:10
fell oh and then there's like a little
6:11

6:15
during the Halloween season and they had
6:17
a house set up right here but this area
6:19
is empty right now cuz it's not
6:20
Halloween anymore it's Christmas dang it
6:22
is really going vertical over there at
6:24
the section over there for Fast and the
6:26
Furious the coaster this is also the
6:28
line to meet the Grim over here in
6:31
hooville which is very very very lengthy
6:34
let me go look over the Overlook that's
6:36
uh located down this way the Metra holy
6:38
cow this is going vertical fast
6:41
considerable progress since the last
6:42

6:46
couple months ago where does the time go
6:48
for Silly Fun Land over there and look
6:51
at Mr Frosty Snowman well I don't I

7:15
see a little bit of the haze right over
7:17
there and there is an update
7:21
construction update hopefully it's
7:23
pretty mellow here I think there's less
7:24
people here than there probably will be

going into the the cat area through here
14:37
through the the dark creepy alley of
14:40
felines this one's on the piano over
14:43
here decided to do something kind of
14:45
last second got an idea to head over to
14:47
Warner Brothers CU I heard that they had
14:49
some
14:51
props over at the Warner store not going
14:53
to do the tour or anything like that but
14:55
want to stop in the gift shop which is
14:57
open till 700 where they have some props
15:00
from Batman Returns which I really like
15:03
Danny DeVito Michelle feifer Michael
15:06
Keaton Tim Burton direct the first and
15:08
second one so I'm sitting here looking
15:11
at where the Animaniacs live over there
15:14
in the WB water tower the sun is about
15:16
to be setting
15:18
soon I wanted to point this spot out

16:33
still amazing Michelle feifer fantastic
16:37

16:47
the first
16:48

16:51
some ways it's just as fun as the first

18:08
when I first did the Warner tour I don't
18:10

18:13
tour building you would go over pay the
18:15
admission and get on
18:16
the get on the little golf cart mobile
18:19
things and then you would walk across
18:21
here or not walk across but they would
18:23
drive across and you would go into here
18:25
but they've since they since changed
18:26
that and most the time I'll park up
18:28

18:30

19:11
basically a miniature version of what
19:12
I'm going to be seeing over in the
19:13
courtyard you have the little uh little
19:15
snowflakes up there can the park take
19:17
over from 7: to 11: tonight and you go
19:20
through here and there is the tree right
19:23
there
19:41
here to Ste Christmas
20:06

20:10
great all right that oh the
20:15
humanity wait wait double wait I forgot
20:19
one little
20:22
home herey it's pretty neat seeing the
20:25
snowfall coming out
20:28
of the grinchmas area hooville if you
20:32
will I did walk over into the little
20:33
Corral that's going to let me into
20:35
Wizarding World so I that they were
20:36
going to do the snowfall back there but
20:38
now they just do the projections on the
20:40
castle which is pretty neat they no
20:42
longer do the snowfall I talked to a
20:43
team member she was saying that it got
20:46
too slippery back there with the snow
20:48
snope I should say so they don't long do
20:51
the snowfall and Wizarding World and
20:52
they've kind of moved it where now the
20:54
snowfall is over in the grinchmas area I
20:58
decided to head back to the hotel got a
21:01
little Panda Express a little black tea
21:03
from Panda Express and I don't think I'm
21:06
going to go to the after hours event I
21:07
think it's starting right now but I
21:09
think I got a lot done today stopped by
21:11
Warner also did Universal when there was
21:12
no lights definely a lot more people
21:14
here now than it was during regular park
21:16
hours yeah I think getting here earlier
21:19
I think maybe there was less people in
21:20
the park simply because a lot of the
21:22
passholders weren't in there they're
21:23
waiting for the passholder event again I
21:25
asked it's pretty much the same thing
21:26
that goes on during the day I got to see
21:28
the tree
21:30
lighting which I definitely wanted to
21:32
see and see the Grinch Warner Brothers
21:34
was a little bit unplanned I hadn't
21:36
planned on going over there met up with
21:38
Kurt and then said you want to go over
21:40
there said yeah I'll check it out again
21:42

21:43

21:45
the hotel has got the palm trees all lit
21:47
