Merchandising Mecca

In class today we heard from the Merchandise and Store Operations of Disneyland Resort.  We learned how they come up with new products in conjunction with Walt Disney World. It was very interesting and they had a lot of important people present to the class, which made it not seem soooooo long.

After class Jase, Matt, and our friend Holly went to Universal Studios Hollywood. This time we actually made it in time to do the studio tour! While most of it was pretty lame and staged, the best part was Wisteria Lane. It's weird because there were super fake flowers on everything and they look so much smaller in person than when we see them on Desperate Housewives. 

Matt and I were racing. I won.

Me (looking super geeky) and Holly

Stopped by for a nice photo op.

On the way back we stopped by a lookout point on Mulholland Drive. From this point you could see the Hollywood Bowl,

The Hollywood sign,

and downtown LA. It was an impressive view.

Tomorrow I'm back in Tomorrowland. I love my mid-week weekends.
