Our Backstage Pass

We spent our Christmas Holiday in Burbank, CA with Adam's family. It's always a party when we go home being from a family of 10 kids. 8 of the 10 siblings were home for Christmas so there were plenty of cousins to play with, plenty of games to be had, and hours of catching up.

Adam's parents have a guy (Greg's cousin) living with them right now that interned with Disney Studios and is now waiting for his job offer to come. So we were lucky enough to get a behind-the-scenes tour when we arrived. Disney Studios is right there in Burbank (minutes from Adam's parents house) so it was pretty sweet to go see the grounds since we are always driving by when we're out and about. Here we are beginning our tour!

We walked through the streets with a few of the Stages filming different shows (No Ordinary Family was filming so I was hoping to see someone walk out but never did). I did learn that Mary Poppins was ENTIRELY filmed in Stage 2 at the Disney Studios, I for sure thought some was done in England.

Would you expect anything less from Disney??? Of course the grounds were beautifully decorated with Christmas decor...


One of the Stage doors was open, which looked pretty sweet with the Castle on there...

Group Shot (Brandt took Adam's parents on a tour a few months ago so Annell offered to watch our 12 kids so we could all check it out, THANK YOU!)

This is the building we always see from the street when we drive by, pretty sweet with the dwarfs holding it up! So it was exciting to be so close. And Dopey's hat amazed me, that thing was GIANT!

Adam & Clark decided to pose for the camera...and then decided to 'peg' their pants. Adam always does this in the most random places and thinks he is HILARIOUS, which I must admit, it's pretty funny to see. But he kept it like that for part of our tour...this guy has no shame!

Here's to starting off our Holiday vacation!
