1/23/04 11.59 23,599 8.5 Started off the afternoon heading to Disneyland. Entered the park and wandered down Main Street and out to Tomorrowland. Tried to peak over the walls and decided Innoventions was the best way. Went into Innoventions, still no Segways for me, and headed outside to take some pictures. Then down the ramp and through Tomorrowland and around Matterhorn. Out by Small World and the Fantasyland Theater, a quick stop in Toontown, then back through Fantasyland and the Big Thunder trail. Around the Rivers of America and out to Critter Country. Back around the Rivers, through NOS and through Adventureland. Made a stop at Coke Conner for some ice water and listened to a couple of songs. Then continued down Main Street and caught the Main Street Band in Town Square. After their set it was out of the park. I decided to hike out to the Lion King parking lot and see what Tower looked like from their. Along the way I realized the parking lot was almost empty(maybe a dozen cars tops). So I had to hike back too. Next up DCA. Entered and headed back to Bugsland and then around to Wharf. Grabbed some Soughdough bread then out the stage area to catch Elvis. After a couple tunes it was time to move again. Headed through the Bay Area and by GRR and through Condor Flats on our way to the Backlot. Took some Tower shots then hiked the steps to get more. Back down the steps and out to the Pier via the parade route. Went out to the Sun Wheel, took a spin then finished out Pier loop. Next up Dinner, back down the parade route and out of the park, headed across the street to McD's. After dinner it was back to the M&F parking structure for a jacket. Back via the Tram and headed for Disneyland. Out to Innoventions again to see if the Segways are around, they were not. Decided its been forever and went to see Honey I Shrunk the Auidence. Then through Tomorrowland and around Matterhorn. Only a 10 minute or so wait so some of our group went on. After Matterhorn it was time for a spin on the Tea Cups. Then we continued through Fantasyland and out to Pirates via the Big Thunder Trail. Road Pirates with no wait at all. The Haunted Mansion with maybe a 2 minute wait. Continued out to Pooh and road it with a 4 minute wait. Walked through the Candy shop and then it was time to pull up a spot for Fantasmic. Watched the show then headed with the herd through Adventureland, down Main Street, to the Trams and home..
1/02/04 10.33 21,024 9 Started off the wet afternoon heading to DD and the Grand Californian. Sat for a while on the 3rd level then out to World of Disney and DCA. Walked down the backlot, then back around through the farm and out to the Pier where the Rose Float was. Saw the float, and the display area for it, then back by GRR and out to the Esplande to meet up with some friends. We headed back into DCA and were among the last into Aladdin, ended up in the upper balcony, looked like a full house. After the show the rain started to let up, we walked back by the Rose Float then to the Bay Area and the Bread tour. Next up over to Disneyland. Walked down Main Street and through tomorrowland, cruised into Innoventions, still no Segways to ride, coming soon though. Walked by Matterhorn and to Adventureland where the Tiki Room was just starting to fill. The rain practically stopped by now. Saw the show then conintued into NOS. Pirates had a 45 minute wait so we grabbed a fastpass and then walked along the Riverfront. Decided we were hungry so it was off to Downtown Disney and Rainforest for dinner. After dinner took the monorail back to the back, grabbed a fastpass for Small World Holiday then cut through Fantasyland and Thunder trail on our way back to ride Pirates. Went on our adventure then saw HMH had a short line, so took a spin on the Doombuggies. Next up back through Adventureland and out to Main Street. Went over to DCA and wanted to see the Rose Float lighting and then the Doo Wah Riders on the Wharf stage. They did not perform (guessing their shows were canceled due to the weather all day). So it was back to Disneyland. Road the Steam Train around to Toontown and road Small World. Walked back through Fantasyland and stood near the castle for the fireworks. The Snow Effect did not work, so I headed back down Main Street and then out of the park to the garage to dry off and head ome.

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.
