12/07/13 9.2 24,547 14 Started off this cold morning arriving at the Mickey and Friends structure around 7:30am. Was directed to an ok spot on Daisy then walked to a waiting tram and headed toward the parks. Took a couple pictures at Downtown Disney before making my way to the Esplanade and into DCA just after the 8am park opening. Found the end of the Racers Fastpass line and waited for one. Then walked through Condor Flats and out to GRR to grab a World of Color Fastpass for the evening before making my way out to the Pier. Headed for Toy Story and found it was not open yet for the day. So conintued on and finished the loop of the Pier. Decided to head to Disneyland. Wandered down Main Street and into Adventureland as the rain started to fall (seems weather.com did not lie when it said rain at 9am). Grabbed a Fastpass for Indy. As we went on the Jingle Cruise it really started to rain which was not fun and our skipper decided to do the regular spiel instead of the Jingle one so it was a bust... After the Jingle Cruise made our way out to the Haunted Mansion and went for a ride, it was a walk on. Then strolled along the Rivers of America in the drizzle before returning to use our Indy Fastpasses. Decided to give Buzz Lightyear a spin since it was only a 5 minute or so wait. Then made our way over to DCA to dry out, the rain was starting to get on our nerves a bit. We stopped by a reception in Stage 17 and visited with friends and dried out for a while. Made our way over to the Racers to use our Fastpass and they were down with one of the cars being looked at. So continued on through the Wharf and out to the Pier to see if the weather would hold for Viva Navidad (some of the group went for a voyage on the Little Mermaid while we waited). Unfortunately the weather did not hold and the rain returned so the Street Party was cancelled. Decided to go on Toy Story, it had about a half hour wait. Then returned to Radiator Springs for our Race. Walked through Cars Land and headed back to Disneyland. Some stopped to pick up Candy Canes on the way (they had gotten wristbands earlier in the day). Decided to grab a late lunch at the Plaza Inn then continued on to Small World Holiday. After our cruise it was time for Billy Hill and the Holiday Hillbillies. Enjoyed their set and then made our way to Main Street. I headed for Town Square to find a spot for the Candelight (it was about 4pm). Hung out in Town Square visiting with friends and waiting for the 5:30 ceremony. Enjoyed the Candlelight and then headed for DCA to find the rest of my group. They were hanging out at the Cafe warming out. We all wandered down Hollywood Blvd, walked through a very quiet Mad T Party, then Bugs Land before ending up in Cars Land. Saw there was no wait for the Flying Tires so went for a flight. The group made their way to the Wharf to sit and relax under a heater. I roamed around Cars Land for a while then the Wharf and Pier before joining them for World of Color Winter Dreams. Enjoyed the show then joined the herd of guests making their way to the exit. Hopped on a tram to return to the garage, car, and head for home.

3/08/13 7.1 18,840 8 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.

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 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.

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.
