Met up with the rest of my group for the day near the train station and we headed off toward NOS by way of Adventureland. The line for Pirates was all the way to Frontierland so we bypassed that and grabbed Fastpasses for Haunted Mansion.

Once back on the main land wandered out to Critter Country and ate lunch at the Hungry Bear. After lunch used our Haunted Mansion Fastpasses and then walked along the Rivers of America and along the Big Thunder Trail to the ranch.

Grabbed Fastpasses for Buzz and continued on to Main Street. Found a nice place to sit by the Castle for a while and wait for the parade then found a spot to stand in the hub for the Christmas parade. After the parade it was back to NOS by way of Frontierland. We got into the Pirates line which said 45 minutes. About 20 minutes in as we were heading up the ramp toward the door the line stopped, and we waited.. after about 10 minutes of not moving we gave up and walked back to Main Street. Took a quick trip back to the cars for warmer jackets and then ate dinner at the Plaza Inn.

On my way back I heard the Princess Faire going on so stopped by for a few pictures then back to Tomorrowland to grab another Buzz Fastpass. Hopped on the Monorail to Downtown Disney and walked through Downtown Disney and over to the Grand Californian. Spent some time in the lobby area then went to Storytellers Cafe for dinner. After dinner entered DCA and walked through Condor Flats and out to the Backlot. Monsters was a walk on so went for a ride, then headed back to Disneyland. Walked down Main Street and verred into Tomorrowland to use our Fastpasses for Buzz. After Buzz walked through the hub and Frontierland. Headed around the Rivers of America and out to the Haunted Mansion. After Haunted Mansion took in Pirates and then headed back to Main Street to check out the Disneyana shop and watch Remember. After Remember headed back to the tram and car to go home. Other Interesting Stats: Not available due to pedometer malfunction
01/05/07	12.66	26,743	8:00	Started off this windy afternoon heading for Disneyland. Wandered down Main Street and around the hub. I ended up in Tomorrowland and walked out by Space Mountain (wow all the fastpasses were gone for the day already), then it was over to the new Monorail ramps and to peak into the sub lagoon. Walked up to the platform then back down (I skipped the one way trip to Downtown Disney). I walked past the Autopia and then took a spin on Innoventions. Upon exiting I walked between the Matterhorn and sub lagoon out to Fantasyland and cut through as I headed to Big Thunder Ranch. Spent some time walking around the Reindeer Roundup and then continued along the trail and the Rivers of America ending up at the Haunted Mansion where I grabbed a Fastpass. Walked back through NOS and Adventureland to Main Street and headed over to DCA. Walked out to the Pier and grabbed a Fastpass for Screamin. Took some pictures of the Midway Mania construction and then thought about a spin on the Sun Wheel till I saw the line. So I continued along the Pier and then cut through the Bay Area and around GRR and through Condor Flats to get back to the parks entrance. Headed into Disneyland and walked down Main Street as the Christmas Fantasy Parade was just starting to come down the street. I headed back to NOS and grabbed another Fastpass for Haunted Mansion and then wandered through Frontierland and past the Castle. Found a break in the parade and crossed over to Tomorrowland where I hung out for a while. Grabbed a Fastpass for Buzz and then headed back through the Monorail queue for another look at the lagoon. Wandered back to Main Street and over to DCA. Walked out to the Pier and took a spin on the Sun Wheel (the line was only a couple people now). After riding finished the Pier loop and walked through the Bay Area and around GRR and through Condor Flats. Walked through Taste Pilots and saw no tables and it was way too cold to eat outside so headed out of the park and over to McDs for dinner. After dinner it was back to Disneyland. The evening Christmas Parade was just stepping making it onto Main Street. I managed to out walk it and get ahead enough to cross over at center street. Walked out to Tomorrowland and circled around the Matterhorn and managed re-crossed the parade route in Fantasyland by the Mad Tea Party. Walked out to Small World Holiday just as the lead float was heading backstage and was able to walk right on. After sailing the world headed back through Fantasyland and around the Big Thunder Trail and the Rivers of America. Used our Fastpasses for Haunted Mansion and then wandered back through Adventureland and the hub over to Tomorrowland to use our Buzz Fastpasses. After riding Buzz (and the Lazygeek setting an incredible score due to the attraction stopping in the perfect spot for him) we headed back to Main Street. It was about 8:45 and they were already playing warnings that due to high winds the fireworks may not go off. I headed back out to NOS to see if Fantasmic was going to run, I arrived near the Tom Sawyer Raft area right as the show was starting. Watched the show from there (leaving as the Mark Twain rounded the bend) and made it back to Main Street right at 9:25. The fireworks were canceled but White Christmas had just begun and the Snow was falling as I made my way down Main Street. Stopped near the end of the street and watched the finale then headed for the tram and the garage and home Other Interesting Stats: * Actual Walking Time: 4:13:49 * 105 steps per minute average * 2.99 mph average
27	189.79		197.5	Totals

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.
