Started off this cloudy afternoon hopping onto a tram to the parks and making my way to DCA. Walked down Buena Vista Street and turned onto Hollywood Blvd as I made my way to the Animation Building to see about a wristband for the Annual Passholder event. No problems getting a band for the second session of the day at 4:00pm. Turned around and walked through some stores on Buena Vista Street, then headed across the Esplanade to Disneyland. Wandered around Main Street USA and into Tomorrowland. The group I was with had not seen the Iron Man 3 exhibit so made a quick trip to Innoventions then walked through Tomorrowland, around the subs and out to the Fantasyland Theater to see what was going on. They grabbed a snack and then we walked back through Fantasyland and to the Fantasy Faire. They had Fastpasses for Space Mountain so we parted ways and I walked through Frontierland and out to the Big Thunder Ranch Jamboree, circled the area then roamed back down the trail and walked onto the waiting Mark Twain for a cruise. Once back on land continued around the River to New Orleans Square then Adventureland on my way to Main Street. Headed for Hollywoodland and made a loop of the area before going into the Animation Building to wait for the start of the Limited Time Magic Annual Passholder Animation Event. Enjoyed listening to Eric Goldberg presentation then spent some time in Off the Page before visiting Cars Land. Explored Route 66 for a while and Ornament Valley then walked through the Wharf, Bay Area, around GRR, and into Condor Flats to grab some dinner at Taste Pilots. After dinner walked down the Parade Route and then circled Paradise Pier, stopping for a while in Paradise Gardens to listen to the Ellis Island Boys. After completing the loop of the Pier took Cross Street through Cars Land and out to Fliks then Sunset Blvd. Decided to return to Disneyland and made a second pass through a now very crowded Tomorrowland. Stopped to listen to a few songs from the Bolts in Tomorrowland Terrace then made my way out to Toontown. Goofy Water has returned! Got a drink then walked down the parade route on my way back to DCA. Walked through Buena Vista Street then out to Cars Land again. Needed to pick up a couple items at Ramones then walked down the Parade Route and back into Hollywoodland. Strolled through the Backlot taking in a little of the Mad T Party then walked past the long wait at Tower of Terror before hopping onto a waiting Red Car. Took it to Carthay Circle and then walked through the stores again before making my way to the Grand Californian. Paused in the lobby for a bit then continued on to walk through Downtown Disney and back to the parking garage to find my car and head for home.

Arrived at the Mickey and Friends garage just after lunch. As I tried to enter learned my annual pass is not working at Disneyland anymore, seems when they issued me the new RFID one in Orlando it was never linked to my Disneyland profile. So that meant a trip to the ticket booths when I arrived at the parks. After clearing up my pass first stop was Disneyland. Strolled down Main Street USA, stopping by the closed Disneyana and Market Place before making my way to the hub. Wandered into Frontierland and onboard the Mark Twain. Went for a cruise around the Rivers of America. Once back on land took the Big Thunder Trail out to the Jamboree to see what was going on. After catching a little of the Cowboy Round up continued on through Fantasylany, the Small World Mall and into Toontown. Circled the area and then walked past the Matterhorn and into Tomorrowland and then back to the hub. Roamed around Main Street for a while then walked through Adventureland and out to New Orleans Square. Circled the square and walked back along the Rivers of America to Frontierland, strolled through the Fantasy Faire then back to Main Street USA. Time to head for DCA and Buena Vista Street. Made my way to Carthay Circle then up the Blue Sky Cellar area and continued around to the Bay Area and past GRR. Grabbed a bite to eat at Taste Pilots then walked down Hollywood Blvd seeing what was going on in Hollywoodland. Paused by the Tower of Terror to catch the Pixar Play Parade then continued on through Fliks and into Cars Land. Spent some time taking pictures and enjoying the sights before continuing on through the Wharf and to Paradise Pier. Walked through the Park and then the Gardens as I made my way around past the swings, Fun Wheel, Toy Story, and Screamin to complete the loop. Made another pass through Cars Land and I walked back to the Hollywoodland. Stopped by the Animation Building and then Off the Page. The MAd T Party had just started so walked through there taking some pictures. Returned to Buena Vista Street then crossed back to Disneyland. Found myself in Tomorrowland so stopped by Innoventions to see how the Iron Man exhibit was doing. Walked through Innoventions and then around the Sub Lagoon and Matterhorn to the Small World Mall. Heard the DLRR approaching and saw a short line so headed for the Toontown Station to go for a ride. The train that was just pulling in was going offline for the night so all guests were forced off and we had to wait. The next train eventually showed up and only a handful of guests disembarked.. not a good sign. Made it up to the next group to board and there was no space. The conductor went above and beyond at this point and had the next couple of groups, including me, head to the back of the train and wait for him. He then opened the Lilly Belle for us. What a great treat to get a night ride in on the Lilly Belle. I took it around to New Orleans Square where I disembarked to watch Fantasmic. After Fantasmic waded through the crowd to Main Street to catch Remember then headed for the exit, tram, garage, car, and home to call it a night.

This time turned left on Cross St and made my way through Fliks and onto Sunset Blvd. Turned on Hollywood Blvd and returned to Buena Vista Street.

Arrived at the Disneyland Resort to find threatening skies in one direction and mostly clear in the other. Actually was directed to a spot very close to the escalators for once too. Made my way to the parks via the tram and headed for Disneyland first. Stepped onto Main Street as the Disneyland Band were making their way out for a set. I skipped the set since I wanted to try and get into the Annual Passholder preview of Fantasy Faire. I walked up Main Street and into Frontierland where wristbands were being distributed. No problems at all getting one for the 4pm preview. I had a little over 2 hours so started my circle of the park. Walked around the hub checking out the Fantasy Faire from a distance then strolled through the Castle and Fantasyland. Wandered around to the Big Thunder Ranch Jamboree and then continued on down the Big Thunder Trail and along the Rivers of America. Hopped on the train to Toontown Depot. Walked into Toontown, made the circle then strolled back down the parade route and around teh Matterhorn to Tomorrowland. Poked my head in the Starcade before returning to Main Street. Headed for Buena Vista Street and then on to Cars Land. The park was quiet, Racers had a posted wait of 66 minutes and you could not see the single rider line so I decided to go for a ride. Waited about 15 minutes for the single rider. After my ride walked through Ornament Valley and into the Wharf. Continued on to the Pier then back by GRR and through Condor Flats. It was 3:30 so thought I should return to Disneyland to get in line for my preview. Made my way out to Fantasy Faire and found no line, but instead they were just letting you walk right in if you had a wristband. So headed into the Faire. The Royal Hall Line was posted at 15 minutes so decided to stop there first, took only about 10. Met three Princesses and then spent some time roaming the Faire. The Beauty and the Beast show was about to begin so found a spot standing in the back. After the show went on a picture taking quest of the gift shop and other areas of the Faire. Caught a Jester training session and then decided to take a seat and watch a second showing of Beauty and the Beast to wrap up the preview. After the show it was past 6:00pm and the preview was over so walked to Frontierland and then back to Main Street. Decided to head to DCA and the Wharf for dinner, ate it over in Cars Land at Flos. After dinner caught a little of DJs show then was going to take some night shots of Cars Land but noticed a posted 5 minute wait for the Flying Tires. Decided to go for a spin and was surprised to find it only a one cycle wait. After celebrating the Festival of the Flying Tires continued on through Bugs Land and down Sunset Blvd. Arrived at the Mad T Party just as the band was wrapping up their first set (caught the last minute or so only). Walked through the Party and then back to Buena Vista Street. Decided to go check out the Oz items at the Wonderground Gallery in Downtown Disney. After that thirty second stop to see two displays I returned to Disneyland. Made my way out to Tomorrowland and caught Instant Replay. Walked through their set and then along the subs lagoon and out to Small World. Was hoping for a cruise, but only one side was operating and the line was longer than I wanted to wait so instead hopped on the train. As we reached Main Street the skies opened and the rain finally began to fall. By the time I reached New Orleans Square it was a steady rain. I disembarked and decided to head for home. The rain stayed fairly steady as I walked through New Orleans Square and down Main Street. It let up as I continued to walk toward the car. I bypassed the tram because of the lines and rain. By the time I reached the garage it had stopped. I found my car and headed for home.

Arrived at the Disneyland Resort just after lunch and was directed to a spot near the far corner of the garage (on Donald). Hiked to the tram stop and hopped on a waiting tram to the parks. Wandered around Town Square looking at some of the True Love Week decorations then strolled down Main Street and took some pictures around the hub. Started my loop of the park walking through Adventureland then New Orleans Square. Ended up in Critter Country and made a u-turn and strolled along the Rivers of America toward Frontierland. Paused at the Golden Horseshoe to listen to the Billies for a while then continued on around the Big Thunder Trail and out to the Ranch Jamboree to see what was happening.

Stopped for some pictures before finding myself in the Wharf area. Decided to grab something from the Wharf Cafe and walked back to eat it at Flos (since I enjoy the view of Ornament Valley). Then continued my tour of DCA walking back to the Wharf and circled the Pier walking by Screamin, Toy Story, the Fun Wheel, etc.. turned and walked through the Bay Area and around GRR to reach Condor Flats and finish my park tour. Headed back up the parade route to Maters and then through Bugs and back to Hollywood Land. Roamed around and back to Buena Vista Street. Mandered back toward Hollywood Land and hung around until it was time to line up for the 6:30 Oz preview. Watched the 8 minute preview then headed back to Disneyland. Arrived on Main Street as Soundsational was wrapping up. Managed to get ahead of the crowd and to the Castle area without too much trouble. They had a red/pink light on the Castle for True Love Week but no sign of projects. A couple CMs in the area were no help at all either when it came to figuring out times for the projections. Waited till a little after 7:00 then gave up and went to Tomorrowland to catch some of the Suburban Legends set. After their set was walking toward the Castle and heard music playing. Rounded the corner and caught glimpse of the last second or two of some projections. So found some more cast members and try to find out when they were doing it again. The consensus was every half hour. So waited around till 8:00pm and no show. Talked with some friends and stood in front of the castle till 8:30 and right about 8:30 a brief show started up. It clocked in at 2 minutes. After the show pushed through the crowd that had assembled for Remember and stopped by the Golden Horseshoe so others could grab a bite to eat. Then made my way through the Fantasmic crowd to find a spot for the first show of the season. After Fantasmic waded through the crowd back to Main Street. Passed through the Adventureland gate right as they canclled Remember due to winds. Luckily the backstage route was open so took that to bypass most of the Main Street congestion and inched my way toward the park exit. Passed by the tram stop which had a large crowd and hiked back to the garage and my car to head for home.

Arrived at the Mickey and Friends garage this picture perfect afternoon just after lunch. The tram stop was a two tram or so wait and there was only one tram in sight so I opted to walk to the parks. I arrived just as that first tram was pulling into the tram stop at Downtown Disney so I think I saved a few minutes. I walked into Disneyland and strolled down Main Street USA. Took a couple pictures along the way as I headed to Frontierland to see about getting a ticket to the Golden Horseshoe Revue. Unfortunately they were all long gone. Walked along the Rivers of America and over to the New Orleans Bayou Bash. Took some pictures of the area then caught the Traditional Jazz Band. Wandered around New Orleans Square visiting with some friends and taking pictures of the Bayou Bash elements. Watched the Mardi Gras Celebration then walked around the Castle and through Fantasyland to the Big Thunder Ranch.

Arrived at a chilly Disneyland Resort just after lunch. Headed to the parks via tram and made my way into Disneyland. Walked down Main Street, through the hub and Frontierland to arrive at the Golden Horseshoe. Was lucky enough to get a reservation/ticket for the 4:00pm show then wandered along the Rivers of America, around the Haunted Mansion, through New Orleans Square and Adventureland. Decided to take a look at the Standby Line for the 2:00pm Revue shoe and it had a fair amount of guests in it so I decided to tour the parks first. Walked back to the hub and through the Castle to Fantasyland. Made my way out to Small World and Toontown then doubled back by the Matterhorn and through Tomorrowland. Strolled down Main Street then over to Buena Vista Street and Route 66. Wandered around Cars Land a bit before walking through the Wharf and circling the Pier. Passed Grizzly River Run and Soarin on my way back to Buena Vista Street. Returned to Disneyland and the Golden Horseshoe around 3:00pm to get in line for the 4:00pm show (the ticket said to be there by 3:30). Was let in a little after 3:30 and found a spot in the balcony for the show. Enjoyed the Tribute show and then as I was exiting ran into a friend so hopped in the Standby line for the 5:15 show. Watched that show then walked back through the Castle and stopped at the Village Haus for dinner. After eating made my way out to Small World Holiday for a cruise, then found a spot to watch the start of Soundsational. Around 7:00pm made my way to Tomorrowland to catch the first set of Scot Bruce, Elvis. After his set it was back to DCA. Made my way to Cars Land and caught the 8:00pm DJ Dance show. Walked through Bugs Land and down Sunset Blvd. Caught the last couple of songs from the 8pm set of the MAd T Party Band then headed back to Disneyland. Arrived on Main Street just as they warned of a cancelation for Remember. Promptly at 8:40 they cancelled the show due to wind. Hung around Main Street chatting with some friends as the masses left the park then I decided to hit the road too. Hopped on a tram to head back to the car to end my visit.

Arrived at the Disneyland Resort just afternoon and was directed up to the roof of the Mickey and Friends Garage to park. Took a tram to the parks entrance and headed for Disneyland. Wandered down Main Street USA and around the hub taking some pictures. Strolled through the Castle, Fantasyland and around to the Big Thunder Ranch. Made my way to the Jamboree to see what was happening at the Dia De Reyes (Three Kings Day Celebration). I spend some time taking pictures, enjoying the entertainment, and relaxing in the area before venturing back out to the crowds and Frontierland. Inched my way around the Rivers of America and pushed through the crowds to get a Fastpass for the Haunted Mansion Holiday then walked through New Orleans Square and over the bridge by Pirates to reach Adventureland and its crowds. Eventually made my way to Main Street and headed for DCA. Spent some time on Buena Vista Street before strolling down the parade route to Cars Land. Walked down Route 66 and spent some time taking random pictures of the area before making my way to the Wharf. Decided to do a loop of the Pier so walked by Ariels, Duffy, Donald, Screamin. As I was walking toward Toy Story an Instant Concert started so stopped to watch then continued my circle by the Fun Wheel, Paradise Gardens and then back around by Little Mermaid. Walked by GRR and into Condor Flats. Saw it was not crowded in Taste Pilots so grabbed a quick bite to eat. Then walked through Carthay Circle and down Hollywood Blvd. Turned on Sunset and walked through Bugs to get to Cross Street and arrive in Radiator Springs. Hung out there taking some random pictures until the lights turned on at 5:00pm then returned to Disneyland. Made my way out to the Jamboree to see what was going on this evening, it closes at 6:00pm so caught the last performing arts group of the day. Then returned to the Haunted Mansion to use my Fastpass. After the Mansion walked through Adventureland and to the hub. Decided to walk by Small World and do a quick loop of Toontown. Paused for the Small World projection show before making my way to Tomorrowland. Listened to two songs from Instant Replay before returning to Main Street. Caught the 7:30pm Wintertime Entchantment from near the Christmas Tree then made my way over to DCA. Wandered down Buena Vista Street and through Cars Land. At 8:00pm caught the Mad T Party Band then roamed back through Cars Land before making my way to Paradise Bay for the 9:00pm World of Color. Left the show a bit early to make sure I had enough time to make it to Main Street for one last viewing of Believe in Holiday Magic for the season. After the snow finished falling headed for the tram, my cold car, and home.
