D23’s Behind-the-Scenes Experience: A Day at the Studio Lot

OVERVIEW
As part of our 10th anniversary celebration of The Official Disney Fan Club, D23 is thrilled to invite a very limited number of Gold and Gold Family Members to the ultimate behind-the-scenes experience at The Walt Disney Studios. This custom event is filled with one-of-a-kind experiences only D23 can create for the ultimate Disney fans.

DETAILS
The magical day will start on the Studio lot when you meet your tour guide and enjoy light refreshments at the Hyperion Bungalow—built in 1932 at Walt Disney’s Hyperion Studio as an early home for the Disney Comic Strip Department and later moved to the Burbank Studio lot. After your guide shares an overview of the day, D23 Members will embark on a tour that includes a rare peek inside the Ink & Paint Department and an in-depth walking tour of the original Animation Building where D23 Members will tour Walt Disney’s private office suite and one of the eight screening rooms affectionately known as “sweatboxes.” The tour continues with a visit to the Walt Disney Archives, where you’ll see the latest collectibles and treasures on exhibit and some special rare surprises!

The fun-filled day will culminate with a customized luncheon, served at a private dining room inside The Rotunda—the exclusive full-service restaurant at the Studio lot. Guests will enjoy a delicious three-course lunch from this rarely seen location while taking in the stunning views of the historic Walt Disney Studios.

All guests will receive a commemorative gift, created exclusively for this D23 Behind-the-Scenes Experience. Guests will also have the opportunity to shop at both the Disney Studio Store and the Disney Employee Center.

Be sure to keep an eye out for future announcements, as we’ll bring one more of these exclusive tours later in 2019!

The event will begin at 9:30 a.m. at The Walt Disney Studios and will last until approximately 3:30 p.m. Security will allow guests to enter The Walt Disney Studios at 9 a.m., and check-in will begin promptly at 9:15 a.m. Please do not arrive before 9 a.m.
