Los Angeles Zoo, Los Angeles (starting/ending point) Sunday, September 17, 10:00 AM
$89
Join legendary Imagineer Bob Gurr as he shows you some of the most iconic Disney sites around Southern California. This is truly a one-of-a-kind experience that I highly recommend to any and every Disney fanatic! It is a monthly event, so if September doesn’t work out for you, there are plenty of other opportunities to check it out!

Los Angeles

Free
While this is included in Bob’s bus tour, if you’d like a cheaper, shorter experience and/or would like to spend even more time here specifically, it’s open to the public the third Sunday of every month! Check out the barn that once belonged to Walt Disney, as well as all of its train paraphernalia and a mini-museum. Special Disney guests often stop by (Bob will, of course, stop by for his tour, and is happy to take pictures with people!) so be sure to keep an eye on their website!
