DAY 3

Warner Brothers Studio Tour & "Hollywood Glamour" fun

  • Pioneers of Hollywood's film industry in the 1920s, the Warner brothers were four young men with stars in their eyes and big dreams in their hearts. While the world was smitten with the silent black and white films that were all the rage back then, the Warner brothers wanted to makes movies that spoke to their audiences even more, gambling on adding color and voices to the stories they showcased on the big screen. Their dreams paid off in 1927 when their first talking picture, The Jazz Singer featuring Al Jolson, was made. At the time The Jazz Singer consisted mostly of music with only a couple of hundred spoken words but it was an immediate success. By 1930, 40% of the nation's cinemas had sound systems installed. Movie stars such as Rudolph Valentino, Clara Bow, John Barrymore, Mary Astor, Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks and Greta Garbo found the spotlight, enchanting millions of movie goers with their acting charms. 

  • Learn firsthand about the history of the talkies and the stars that made them during today's tour of Warner Bros Studio, exploring 100 years of visual storytelling at one of the industry's oldest motion picture studios. After lunch, visit the Getty Center - a world renowned cultural institution and art museum. Home to an extensive collection of art, architecture and sprawling, Robert Irwin-designed gardens, the center is also known for its dedication to research, public education and preservation of visual art. 

  • Following your time at the center, return to your hotel enjoying ample time to get ready for tonight's gala New Year's Eve festivities, featuring a celebratory "Hollywood Glamour" theme and special surprises. We'll ring in the New Year with friendships old and new, honoring each US time zone with a champagne toast and a memorable rendition of Auld Lang Syne!

DAY 4

137th Rose Parade® & 112th Tournament of Roses


  • Happy New Year! Discover a uniquely American tradition more than a century old today, when members of a distinguished hunt club in Pasadena invited their former neighbors from the East Coast to a New Year's holiday that included a parade of flower-decked carriages and competitive games under the warm California sun. The earliest Tournament of Roses welcomed 3,000 spectators to its first parade filled with beautiful, horse-drawn carriages covered in flowers. More than a century later, the parade floats are a marvel of state-of-the-art technology, all tucked away beneath flowers and other all-natural materials. The festival bloomed as the years went by, and today the Tournament of Roses® has become synonymous with the imaginatively decorated floats of the Rose Parade® floats – as well as the annual Rose Bowl Game®. 

  • As you experience the themed festivities of the "The Magic in Teamwork", take in the marching bands from across the country, spirited equestrians and their mounts, and the creative floral floats from premier Grandstand seating on the first turn of the Parade route – the same view that the major television networks will have of the 137th Rose Parade in 2026! 

  • Then, football fans who wish to be in the middle of the action of the 112th Rose Bowl Game® may purchase optional tickets to the game to see "the granddaddy of them all" in reserved seats (for an additional charge; see pricing notes for details). If you're not going to the Rose Bowl football game, enjoy New Year's Day lunch at the Jonathan Beach Club in Santa Monica, situated beneath the bluffs of the Pacific Palisades with panoramic views of the ocean. 

  • Tonight, our farewell dinner at your Beverly Hills hotel promises a memorable ending to the "best day ever"
