D23 Inside Disney | The Walt Disney Studios Lot Tour

Editorial Summary

In this video, a host and Caesar from the Walt Disney Archives provide a guided tour of the Walt Disney Studios lot in Burbank, California. The tour begins at the Hyperion Bungalow, an original building from the company's second studio that was moved to the current location. The presenters highlight various historical landmarks, including the dedicated parking spots for Walt and Roy Disney and the animation building, which once housed Walt Disney's personal offices. The tour explores the history of the ink and paint building and discusses how former back lot areas, which featured western streets and small town settings, have since been converted into parking lots. Specific mentions are made of the Zorro costume used by Guy Williams and the tiara worn by Julie Andrews in The Princess Diaries 2. The presentation concludes at Legends Plaza, where bronze plaques honor Disney legends. The video encourages viewers to become D23 Gold members to book official tours that offer access to interactive elements and Walt Disney's restored office.
