Arrived at the Mickey and Friends parking structure a little after noon and was greeted by a line of cars stretching over a dozen in length. Was directed into a spot near the far corner of the Mickey level of the structure. Took the tram to the parks and started my visit on Main Street USA at Disneyland. Stopped by Earl of Sandwich to pick up a birthday cookie then made my way to Disneyland. Strolled up Main Street USA and stopped to listen to the Disneyland Band performing at Sleeping Beauty Castle. Then strolled through Frontierland and along the Rivers of America. Checked out the wait for the Haunted Mansion and Rise of the Resistance, both were longer than my patience. Passed through Fantasyland and found a spot in the small world mall to watch the approaching Cavalcade. Took a quick look at it's small world's construction walls then walked around the Matterhorn to Tomorrowland. Returned to Main Street USA for a performance by the Dapper Dans then caught the cavalcade again before heading to Downtown Disney. Stopped by the Disneyland Hotel to see their Lunar New Year display then visited the recently opened Wonderful World of Disney Sweets shop. Wanted to stop by the Disney Storyland Boutique but the line wrapped around the side of the building. Continued on to see the ESPN and Earl of Sandwich work then turned around and started back to the parks. Stopped by Wetzels Pretzels to redeem a coupon for a free pretzel on my way to Disney California Adventure. Walked up Buena Vista Street and took a left into Hollywood Land. Found a table to eat some snacks then walked through Avengers Campus, Cars Land and San Fransokyo Square on my way to the Lunar New Year celebration in Paradise Gardens. Took a look around and paused for a performance on the bandstand stage then found a spot for the 5pm Lunar New Year Procession in Carthay Circle. Noticed the waits in Disneyland had come down so crossed back to Disneyland and walked up Main Street USA, through Frontierland to Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. Rise of the Resistance was posted at 30 minutes but was moving and looked shorter. Turned out to be 15 minutes to the briefing room. After my adventure walked through Bayou Country to New Orleans Square. The Haunted Mansion was posted at 25 minutes. This turned out to be about spot on. It was 26 minutes to the foyer. Walked back through New Orleans Square and Adventureland to the hub. Circled the hub and headed for Disney California Adventure. Met up with the rest of my group that was hanging out on Buena Vista Street and we went to Sonoma Terrace for the 7:30pm Vocal Seoul performance. After their set decided to call it a night and head for the tram back to the parking structure. (Walking time 3:12 today)

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.
