Reached Main Street USA as the 2:00pm A Christmas Fantasy Parade making its way to Town Square. Walked by the parade on the west side and then through the castle, Fantasyland and out to it's a small world. Entered the queue just as Santa was passing by in the parade. Waited about two boats and was on my way for my first cruise of the holiday season. Once back ashore we regrouped and decided to give Storybook Land Canal Boats a try. On our way there stopped to listen to the Pearly Band and see some characters. Waited about 20 minutes for Storybook Land. At this point the group split up. Some went to Peter Pan, a couple over to DCA to see Spider-Man and I paid a visit to Toontown. Walked around the land and then returned to the hub. I did not see the Dickens Yuletide Band out so hung around and listened to the Dapper Dans. The Peter Pan group joined me and we made our way across the Esplanade just in time to see Mickey's Happy Holidays pass by Carthay Circle. Decided to grab a bite to eat at Smokejumpers and the rest of the group joined us. After eating walked through Grizzly Recreation Area and out to Paradise Gardens. Watched the 5:15pm Viva Navidad performance. Then walked around Paradise Gardens Park and made our way to Avengers Campus to find the rest of the group.

Stopped by the Fantasy, Frontier and Adventure towers then headed for security and Downtown Disney. Arrived on Buena Vista Street a few minutes before opening.

Paused to take pictures of the World of Disney windows before arriving at DCA about 10 minutes prior to rope drop. Hung out on Buena Vista Street waiting for the park to open. Some of my group headed to Radiator Springs Racers along with a large number of guests. I stayed with my 2.5 year old nephew and we stopped by Mater's Junkyard Jamboree. Of course after waiting a cycle to ride we got to our tractor and he decided he did not want to ride. No use forcing it so we tried Luigi's next and were met with the same response. Decided to head out to the Pier and try Jessie's Critter Carousel, same response. He had decided he was anti-attraction this morning and went on to refuse the Pal-A-Round as well as Toy Story and Emotional Whirlwind too. I went for a solo ride on the Pal-A-Round while others tried to see if they could convince him to ride something. The rest of the group met up with us, they had about a 25 minute wait for Racers only. Then we took those that wanted to ride on Toy Story and the Pal-A-Round. A couple did go for a spin on Jessie's too. We continued around the Pier and stopped by Little Mermaid. Finally a success with the little one and we were all able to go under the sea. Strolled through Grizzly Recreation Area and made our way to Disney Jr. Dance Party. Walked through Avenger's Campus and caught the Spider Man show. Walked by WEB Slingers and it was down (only a couple groups short of ours). So we opted to grab some lunch at Smokejumpers. While eating our boarding group was called so we returned to WEB Slingers after we finished. It turned out to be about a 30 minute wait from entering the queue until we reached the briefing room. This worked out as we were able to pick up a Rise of the Resistance boarding group right before entering the door. After our ride grabbed a snack and walked around a bit before making our way over to Disneyland just after 1pm. Spent some time on Main Street including a stop at the recently opened Plaza Point store. Caught a performance by the Disneyland Band and then the 2:15pm cavalcade. Some of the group went for a spin on Buzz Lightyear then Star Tours, the rest caught up with some friends. I took my nephew to Fantasyland and we ended up on the Mad Tea Party. It was nearing time for our Rise of the Resistance boarding group so we gathered everyone up and made our way through Frontierland to Star Wars Galaxy's Edge. Waited about 20 minutes to reach the preshow and had a total experience time of 40 minutes from entering queue to exit. Spent some time visiting with friends in Black Spire Outpost then walked back through Frontierland and grabbed a bite to eat at the Stage Door Cafe. The plan was to go for a ride on the Mark Twain but the upper deck was closed so we skipped it. Some of the group made their way to Haunted Mansion Holiday, others roamed around the park, and I headed for Toon Town to check out the construction. We met back up in the hub and they had Dole Whips before we decided to call it an evening and head for the parking structures.

9/17/21 8.7 18,375 13.5 Started my morning with an early morning drive to Anaheim. Stopped for breakfast before heading to the parks. While eating tried for the 7am Rise of the Resistance virtual queue and failed to secure a boarding group. Arrived at the parking structure just after 7am, was greeted with no line at the toll booths and quickly directed up to the 3rd level and into a space in the 2nd aisle of the Pixar Pals Parking Structure. The first third or so of the aisle was blocked for preferred so I was past the halfway point of the garage. Today decided to walk over to Downtown Disney so walked down a flight of steps and then across the bridge. Cut through the parking lot and walked through security by the Disneyland Hotel. I still had time until the parks opened so took my time walking through Downtown Disney and took some pictures of the Halloween decorations and the pumpkins for Pluto's Pumpkin Pursuit. Made it to the parks. My reservation today was for Disneyland so hopped in a line there. To save some steps choose one of the closer lines with only a couple parties in it. Wrong choice.. the three lines around me all had issues and delays. Eventually made it into the park and I strolled up Main Street USA to the hub and found a spot to sit for a few minutes before rope drop. Watched the rope drop crowd disperse into the park and noticed most heading to the west side so I decided to make my way to Fantasyland. As usual most guests there were in line for Peter Pan. So I thought I would visit Snow White, it was not open yet though, so then thought about Mr. Toad. It was not open either. Then Casey Jr.. same thing not open. Walked around and saw Alice had a short line and was open so visited Wonderland. Then walked back into Fantasyland and Snow White had opened so stopped there next. Took a walk through Black Spire Outpost and since Smuggler's Run had no wait went for a flight there. Continued on through the marketplace and then the forest. Walked along the Rivers of America with the goal of Haunted Mansion but the wait was longer than my patience so continued around and found a seat to wait for the Columbia. It was in port but not boarding until 9:20. After my cruise of the Rivers of America walked through the hub and up the parade route to Toontown. Took a look at the Construction and then went for a ride on Cartoon Spin. Walked through the rest of Toontown and opted for a second walk on to Cartoon Spin before leaving the area. Walked back to Main Street USA and took some Character pictures in Town Square then caught the opening set of the Disneyland Band (10:25) at the train station. After their set made my way up Main Street and over to Frontierland. Decided to stop for an early lunch at the Stage Door Cafe. After lunch returned to Main Street and saw the Dapper Dans on a trolley. Then hung around for the 11:45am Disneyland Band performance. They marched from Town Square up to the hub and then back with Mickey and Minnie joining the band in their Halloween costumes. Made my way out to Tomorrowland and joined the virtual queue for the Magic Key Lounge. Spotted Stitch in Tomorrowland as well as Alice, Cheshire Cat, Winnie the Pooh and Rabbit in the hub. Returned to Main Street USA for the 12:15pm cavalcade. Received a text that we could enter the lounge so returned to Tomorrowland and visited the Magic Key Lounge for a while. Caught the 12:45 performance of the Disneyland Band in Tomorrowland and then returned to Main Street to head for Disney California Adventure. As we were walking realized I forgot the 12:00 boarding group drop so I took a look and all were gone for both attractions. Spent some time in Hollywood Land and then walked through Avengers Campus and Cars Land. While deciding what to do next visited the Little Mermaid since it was a walk on. Then decided to take a lap around Paradise Bay passing through Pixar Pier and then Paradise Gardens. Stopped for the 3:00pm performance of the Musical Celebration of Coco then wrapped up my loop of the park walking through Grizzly Recreation Area. Returned to Disneyland and went for a grand circle tour of the park aboard the Disneyland Railroad.

After dinner took a stroll through Downtown Disney spending some time in World of Disney and paid a visit to the Star Wars Trading Post. Caught the 6:30pm performance of Tupua on the main stage before making my way back to the parks. Roamed around Main Street then into Frontierland and New Orleans Square before returning to Main Street. Had about an hour until the fireworks and a request to go pick up something in DCA for my nephew so made a quick visit to DCA and Avengers Campus to buy him something at WEB Suppliers before returning back to Main Street. No delays park hopping or with the purchase so it was only about 20 minutes round trip. Hung around Town Square for a while then found a spot for Halloween Screams.

Circled back through Fantasyland and rejoined my group (they had gone to ride Peter Pan and Snow White's Enchanted Wish) and we all made our way back to Disney California Adventure. Stopped for a rest break/snack break in Hollywood Land then returned to Avengers Campus when our WEB Slingers boarding group was called. Spent some time walking around Avengers Campus then made our way to Cars Land. I hung out on Route 66 waiting for the lights to come on the others grabbed some food from the Cozy Cone and Flos. After eating looked at the lights then decided to call it a day and head for the park exit, the long hike back to the car and home.

8/27/21 13.5 28,853 13.5 Arrived at the Disneyland Resort about 10 minutes to 7am. The Ball Road by pass was not open so I had to sit at the light before making my way to the parking structure. There were only a couple cars and I had the choice of being first in a row or second.. I choose second because I wanted the CM on the drivers side to scan my pass. At 7:00am I was able to grab a boarding group for Webslingers right before they opened the parking booths. They scanned my Magic Key and I was directed into a spot on the Cars Level of the Pixar Pals parking structure near the escalators. I took the escalator down then walked to the screening area (which is the former tram stop). No delays there. The trams are not in service so you have to hike to the parks. It was a over a mile from my parking spot to Downtown Disney. It took me just under 30 minutes from when the parking lot opened until I was at the walkway by World of Disney. Since I still had 30 minutes until the park opened I decided to take stroll through Downtown Disney. I went all the way out to the former ESPN building then back arriving just a few minutes before the park opened. Buena Vista Street was open so entered and roamed around waiting for rope drop. After the announcement played the crowds moved on and then I walked behind them since I was not in a hurry. Most were heading out to Paradise Pier and Cars Land. I turned into Avengers Campus. As I did my Webslingers boarding group was called. So I took some pictures as I walked through but did not stop. Made my way to the attraction, had my pass scanned and entered. There was a delay in boarding while some maintainance work was behind done. After my ride I spent somem time roaming around Avengers Campus visiting the Web Supply Store, Pym Test Kitchen and other sights. By 8:45 I had finished my pass through the area and still had an hour until the first scheduled entertainment so I ventured down the path to Cars Land. The residents have started their annual Halloween decorating. Decided to go for a spin on Radiator Spin Racers. It had a posted wait of 35 min, I opted for single rider and was able to walk right on. After winning my race continued on down Cross Street and into the Pacific Wharf area and then out to Pixar Pier. As I passed by Toy Story Midway Mania I saw it had a 5 min wait posted, but no one around. So I decided to go for a ride. Decided to go for a spin on the Pal-A-Round, I was able to literally walk right now. They held the gate and door for me and I did not have to break stride. After my spin continued around Pixar Pier and then took the parade route back to Avengers Campus. This visit the goal was to see the entertainment offerings. First up Warriors of Wakanda: The Disciplines of the Dora Milaje then the Amazing Spider-Man! and finally Avengers Assemble. There was nothing else scheduled until the afternoon so I made my way to Hollywood Land. Stopped by Stage 17 to see the Backlot Preimere Shop. Next up time to relax a bit with a visit to Mickey's Philharmagic to see the new Coco scene. The Disney Characters are dressed in Avengers gear at the Backlot Stage. I saw Mickey as Captain America, Chip as Thor and Dale as Loki. Made my way up Hollywood Blvd stopping for some water at Award Wieners before finding a spot to watch a Five and Dime performance in Carthay Circle. Decided to eat an early lunch at Smoke Jumpers. While eating the noon boarding groups opened and I was able to grab one for Rise of the Resistance. After eating I continued on through Grizzly Peak Recreation area. Stopped to visit Big Al along the trail where he was performing on the drums. Circled back to Avengers Campus for a second look at Spider-Man then walked through Cars Land again while waiting for the Avengers show. After the show spend some time in Carthay Circle where I saw Dope and Snow White as well as Clarabell on Buena Vista Street before heading across the Esplanade to Disneyland. I spent some time roaming around Main Street USA before heading to Adventureland and the Jungle Cruise. After my cruise stopped by Refreshment Corner and listened to Noel perform on the Piano before heading to Town Square for a performance by the Disneyland Band. Next up a visit to Fantasyland and Snow White's Enchanted Wish which had a 15 min wait. Continued on through Fantasyland and out to Toontown to check out the couple construction projects there. Also visited the characters who were out at their homes. Boarded the Disneyland Railroad for a short trip to Tomorrowland. Disembarked and started to take a look around the area and then my Rise of the Resistance boarding group was called so made my way throught Fantasyland to the Big Thunder trail then in Star Wars Galaxy's Edge. It took me just under 30 minutes from entering the queue until I was on my way to Critter Country. Stopped by the Hungry Bear for some water then walked through New Orleans Square and back to Main Street USA. Stopped by Town Square for the nightly Flag Retreat. Went for a second cruise on the Jungle Cruise. Circled through Frontierland and then out to Tomorrowland for the Disneyland Band. Returned to Main Street and stopped to see the Characters at the train station before crossing the Esplanade to DCA. Spent some time in Carthay Circle then grabbed a quick bite to eat at Smoke Jumpers. Returned to Avengers Campus to see some of the super heros that were out and the plan was to see the couple shows that run later in the day, but they did not appear to be running this evening. So I spent some time in Hollywood Land waiting for the sun to set. Returned to Avengers Campus to take a look around after dark then walked through Cars Land and out to Paradise Gardens Park. Walked by GRR and back to Carthay Circle to spend some time. Then around 8:30 decided to return to Disneyland for Mickeys Mix Magic Fireworks. Caught the show at 9:00pm then did the long hike back to the parking structure to find my car and head for home.

11 113 137.5 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.
