Trip Log:
Arrived at the park a bit earlier than usual and was surprised to find it not insanely busy. First stop of the day was Disneyland. I strolled down Main Street and verred into Adventureland to meet some friends who were just finishing up on the Jungle Cruise. We circled around through Frontierland and over to Big Thunder which unfortunately was down so we walked through the hub and down the parade route to the Small World Mall. Waited for the Toy Soldier Jam session then doubled back down the parade route and headed for DCA. Walked through Condor Flats and spent some time roaming around Buena Vista Street checking out the Carthay and other progress then wandered down to the Blue Sky Cellar patio to get some Cars Land pictures. Rejoined my group by Taste Pilots and we headed out to the Pier. Stopped by Little Mermaid which had a 5 minute wait then walked onto the Zephyr. Continued around and waited about 15 minutes for the non swinging Fun Wheel car. Finished the loop of the Pier and walked through the Wharf area. Took some more Cars Land pictures and then went to wait for the rest of the group who were on Soarin. We walked back to Disneyland, stopped by the Gallery to see the train exhibit and then headed down Main Street. Went for a spin on Buzz and then decided to grab dinner. Some at the Plaza Inn and others hicked over to the Golden Horseshoe to grab some food and returned to eat on Main Street. As we wrapped up eating the Christmas Fantasy Paradee was going by. We managed to cross into the hub right before the last unit and walked out to Small World Holiday. Went for a ride just as the Toy Workshop units were making their by. After Small World hung around to watch the projection show then headed for Toontown. Roamed around a bit, walking through Mickeys House, before walking back down the parade route. Stopped in front of the Castle for the 7:30 winter time enchantment event. After the snow fall made my way back to DCA and out to the ElecTRONica to see ILLUMINATE perform at 8pm. After the performance wandered around and out to the Blue Sky Cellar area for a couple more Cars Land shots before returning to Disneyland. The fireworks had been cancelled but I hung around for the White Christmas finale which ran with a Winter Time Enchantment segment in its place. After the snow made my way to the tram, car, and home.

For Comparisons to other trips or more park miles click here to visit our park Miles Section.

Note: These totals may be skewed because the pedometer is zero'd when we start and then left alone and read when we leave. So attractions, and other things may cause extra "steps" to be counted. The pedometer that we use basically measures up/down motion as a step, so if your standing in line and moving up and down it may be counting steps, etc.. so the total distances traveled and steps may be off.. so use these as rough distance comparisons between trips and they may not be accurate in terms of actual distance traveled.
