Started off walking to McDs for breakfast then over to Disneyland. Wandered around Main Street as they were setting up for the Sherman Brothers event and then headed through Frontierland and over to the New Orleans Square train depot. Hopped on board and rode to Toontown. Walked down the parade route all the way to Town Square then headed to DCA. Made our way over to the near GRR a few minutes before the rope drop then joined the masses heading for Toy Story. Went for a spin, set the high score for the day (does not mean much since there were only a hunred of so people in front of me and it was probably gone within the hour but it was nice to see). After Toy Story walked onto the Fun Wheel and then finished the loop of the Pier and headed for Disneyland to catch the Sherman Brothers window unveiling on Main Street. After the ceremony hung around Main Street for a while then headed out of the park, grabbed a quick lunch at McDs and headed for the car and home.

The check in was in the Esplanade and then everyone queued up to head in on the far left (West) entrance turnstyles. We were let in about 15 minutes before the events start time and everyone made their way down to the hub in front of the Castle which had a D23 banner on it. An announcement was played, Walt read Disneylands dedication speech, then some fireworks from the castle to mark the start of the event. The invited VIP guests and D23 CMs lined the bridge and everyone was let into Fantasyland. You had a chance to shake hands and be welcomed by the CMs and VIPs. Once in Fantasyland we roamed around a bit and wandered out near Casey Jr to grab some desserts and a table at the outdoor seating area of the Village Haus. After eating walked through Fantasyland checking out some of the characters and VIPs out for pictures and to chat. Worked our way out to Small World Mall which had some vechicles out and more photo ops. Made it out to Small World then circled back. Decided to head out to the hub and into Tomorrowland to check out Captain EOs area. It was great to walk around the Hub and into Tomorrowland with very few people around! Took some pictures then circled back to the hub and through the Castle. Decided to go for a ride on Peter Pan since it was only a 5 minute wait. After Peter Pan circled Fantasyland again and the Small World Mall one more time. Turned around at Small World and made one last pass through Fantasyland and the Castle before heading down Main Street and out of the park. As you exited they handed out Anniversary pins to everyone. Walked through a deserted esplanade and thenout to Harbor and back to the hotel to call it a night.

Started off walking over from the hotel on Harbor Blvd we were staying at. Strolled through the transportation center and then into DCA. Walked out to the Pier and took a look at the World of Color progress. Worked our way around to the Fun Wheel. It was cool so the rest of my group decided to go wait for Toy Story and I went for a spin on the Fun Wheel (managed to get my own car even!). Once back on the ground headed for Toy Story and met them to go for a ride. After Toy Story worked our way around to the SS Rustworthy for some pictures then finished up the loop and walked around GRR and through Condor Flats to head over to Disneyland. Hopped on the train and took it out to Toontown. Hiked up the hill to Toontown and went for a spin on Cartoon spin then wandered around a bit. Circled back through Fantasyland and around to Frontierland to grab something to drink at the Golden Horseshoe. Strolled through Adventureland to check out the Jungle Cruise (too long of a wait) so decided to go to Tomorrowland and see about Buzz, it was down so walked out to the Captain EO area then back to Adventureland. Decided the wait was still too long so wandered around Main Street for a while waiting for the D23 event.

Started off this cloudy afternoon parking in a great spot on the 5th floor of the garage (about 10 steps from the escalator!) and taking the tram over to the parks. Headed for Disneyland first. Strolled down Main Street and into Tomorrowland. Grabbed a Fastpass for Buzz and then walked over to Captain EO. There was about 15 minutes until the next show so we found a seat in the preshow and waited. After EO we grabbed a second set of Fastpasses for Buzz and then walked through the hub and Adventureland on my way to New Orleans Square to see what was going on with the Rivers of America work. Hiked out to Critter Country then doubled back and hopped on the train. We disembarked in Toontown and strolled through Fantasyland as we headed for DCA. Walked out to the Pier and around to the Fun Wheel. Went for a spin then continued on around to the SS Rustworthy and finished the loop. Strolled through the Wharf, Farm, and Bugsland on my way to the Backlot. Headed up the street and back to the entrance plaza. Cut through the Greetings from California store and headed over to Disneyland. Hopped on the train and rode out to Toontown. Stopped to grab a snack at the Tavern and then walked through Fantasyland and around the Big Thunder Trail on our way to catch the Billy Hill show. After the show walked through Adventureland and back down Main Street on our way over to DCA. We headed out to the Wharf area for dinner. After dinner walked back through the park and over to Disneyland. Hiked down Main Street and fought through the Street Party crowd on our way into Tomorrowland. Walked out to the Autopia to grab a Fastpass then doubled back to visit Captain EO again.

Parked in the garage and then headed for the tram and over to DCA. Walked through Condor Flats, around GRR and out to the Pier. Walked by Ariels, Screamin, and over to the Fun Wheel. The line was 45 minutes so skipped it and kept walking, stopping at the SS Rustworthy for some pictures. Then finished the loop and walked through the Wharf, Farm Area and Bugsland on my way to the Backlot. Not much happening so headed back up the street and over to Disneyland. Strolled down Main Street and into Tomorrowland. Grabbed Fastpasses for Buzz then walked over by Captain EO to see if anything was going on. Next walked back to Main Street (by the Matterhorn and Castle). Headed into Frontierland and around the Rivers of America for some pictures. Walked out to Critter Country then doubled back and hopped on the train. Rode around to Main Street and headed back to DCA. This time reversed my trek and went down the Backlot and through Bugs to get to the Pier. The Fun Wheel was only a 15 min wait so went for a spin. Once back on the ground doubled back past Screamin and headed for the Wharf and dinner. Ate some bread and then headed for Disneyland. Stopped by the Lion King tram stop to see the new tram doors, then walked up Main Street and into Tomorrowland. Grabbed a Fastpass for Autopia and hiked out to the Small World Mall. Went for a spin on the Tea Cups then headed back to Tomorrowland to use our Buzz Fastpass. Then over to Autopia to use that one as well. Decided to head back to DCA. Walked out to the Pier to see what was going on (they were preparing for some World of Color testing). We had time so wandered over to Bugsland and went on all four attractions in about half an hour then back to the Pier to see if any testing was going on yet. Hung around the Pier until it started to rain and by 8:45ish started heading for the exit since the rain was coming down pretty good. Decided to hike back to the garage due to the large crowd at the tram stop and the rain. Once back to the garage headed for the car and home.

Parked in the Mickey and Friends garage and then walked over to Disneyland Hotel to check out the progress on the rennovation. Walked around the Dreams Tower and then strolled through Downtown Disney on my way to DCA. Walked down the the Parade Route, through the winery area, and then out to the Pier. Spent some time taking pictures of the World of Color Progress as I worked my way around to the Fun Wheel. Went for a spin (after a 20 minute wait) and then continued on around to the SS Rustworthy. By the time I made my way to the Zephyr it was closed due to the wind (or at least guessing it was wind related) so I contined on and walked through the Wharf, Farm,and into Bugsland. Took the new path to Tower and then walked through the Backlot back to the entrance. Headed over to Disneyland. Roamed down Main Street and over to the newly opened Frontierland bridge to get some pictures. Circled the bridge and then walked through Frontierland and over to Pirates. Took some pictures of the River then found a spot for the Mardi Gras Celebration. After the show I wanted to take the train, but it was closed so I walked through NOS, Adventureland and over to Tomorrowland. Grabbed a Fastpass for Buzz then went to check out the Captain E-O progress. Not too much visible yet.. circled around the area and stopped at the Starcade to check out the new floor, then headed for Toontown. Made my circle there and walked back through Fantsyland, around the Big Thunder Trail, and out to Critter Country. Turned around and headed back to the Railroad which was now open. Had to wait three trains and then rode to Toontown. Hiked through the park and to Town Square for the Flag Retreat. After the ceremony headed for DCA again and dinner at Taste Pilots, then strolled around GRR and out to the Pier. Saw the Zephyr was running so walked over there and went for a spin. Then headed back to Disneyland to catch the Volunteers Cavalcade. Stopped by Great Moments to celebrate Lincolns 201 birthday. Then worked my way through the Street Party traffic jam/stopped walkways and into Tomorrowland to use my Buzz Fastpass. Strolled by Captain E-O again and then caught the end of the 80s All Starz set before heading back to DCA. Hiked out to the Pier to see what was going on with World of Color. It looked like they were setting up for some testing, so I hung around for a while. Not much was happening so walked over to the Zephyr and around by the Fun Wheel and Toy Story before finding my way back the area by Ariels. They started to do some testing so headed over to the bridge for a better view. Watched them cycle through lights and fountains for a good hour then headed for the park exit. Caught Disneylands fireworks as I was leaving then hopped on the tram back to the garage, car, and home.

Started off this great Saturday parking in the garage and then hiking over to the parks since there seemed to be a couple tram wait. We first headed for DCA and out to the Pier to check on the construction progress. Worked our way around the Pier, stopped by Toy Story but the 40 minute wait was more than we wanted to deal with. The Fun Wheel had a 5 minute wait only (2 cars in front of us only) so we went for a spin next. Then worked our way around to the SS Rustworthy and the Zephyr before we decided to head for Condor Flats and lunch at Taste Pilots. After lunch wandered down the Backlot and stopped by the Muppets. After the film we ended up stopping to see Aladdin then walked into Bugsland. Went for a ride on the bumper cars and then headed for Disneyland. Roamed down Main Street and into Tomorrowland. Grabbed a Fastpass for Buzz then went to check out the Captain E-O progress. After taking some pictures headed over to Adventureland and then out to look at the Rivers progress. Hopped on the Disneyland Railroad for a grand circle tour of the park. Once back we stopped by Critter Country and went for a ride on Pooh then hiked back to Main Street for the Flag Retreat. After the ceremony we headed over to DCA to catch the Pixar Play Parade from the Sunshine Plaza then it was back to Disneyland for dinner. Some grabbed a corn dog, others chili, and we met up at the Riverbelle Terrace area. After dinner we walked through Frontierland, the Castle, and Fantasyland to the Small World Mall area to watch the Voluntears Cavalcade. After the pre-parade we went for a cruise on Small World and then hiked through the park and over to DCA (with a quick stop at the Main Street Cinema). Headed out to the Pier to check if there was any World of Color testing going on (there was nothing exciting happening) and then the Toy Story wait (still 40 minutes so we skipped it). We finished our loop and headed back to Disneyland. Wandered down Main Street and into Tomorrowland to use our Buzz Fastpasses. Then stopped by the Tomorrowland Terrace to catch some of the Rumble Kings. Decided to go for a spin on Autopia since it was only a 10 minute wait then strolled back to Main Street. We decided to call it a night and headed out of the park and hiked back to the garage.

Started off this great Southern California day with a decent parking spot in the garage and then a quick tram ride over to the parks. We first headed for DCA and lunch at Taste Pilots. After lunch we walked by GRR and some of the group stopped by the Redwood Creek area and I continued on to the Pier to get some World of Color shots. We met up and continued around to Toy Story, it was about a 20 min wait. After Toy Story we visited the Fun Wheel (again a 20 min wait) and then continued around and walked on the Zephyr. Finished the loop and walked through Bugsland and by the Tower of Terror on our way to the Backlot. Walked onto Monsters then headed for Disneyland. Strolled down Main Street and into Tomorrowland to grab Fastpasses for Buzz. Then walked through Adventureland and over to the Pirates bridge to get some pictures of the now compelely drained Rivers of America. Walked along the Rivers and out to Critter Country, then doubled back and hopped on the Disneyland Railroad for a quick ride to Toontown (to get some more shots of the River). Walked back through Small World Mall, Fantasyland, and around the Big Thunder trail on my way to the Golden Horseshoe to catch Billy Hill and the Hillbillies. After their show wandered down Main Street and tried to visit Lincoln (we had a sleeping two and a half year old with us and they said no strollers allowed inside), so we spent some time on Main Street then wandered down to Tomorrowland. Decided to visit Innoventions then headed for dinner of corn dogs or chicken dinners depending on what you wanted before going back to DCA to see if they were doing any World of Color Testing. They were not so turned around and walked back to Disneyland. Hopped on the steam train to NOS and went to visit the recently re-opened Haunted Mansion. After the Haunted Mansion hopped back on the train to Toontown. Walked by Small World then around the Matterhorn, through Tomorrowland, and back to Main Street. We decided to call it an evening and headed for the tram, car, and home.

Started off this picture perfect Southern California afternoon parking in the garage and taking the tram over to the parks. Walked into DCA first and spend some time roaming around the Red Car construction walls on the Backlot. Worked my way around past Tower of Terror and through the new walkway into Bugsland. Continued on to the Pier to check out the World of Color progress. Made my way around and took a spin on the Fun Wheel, stopped by the SS Rustworthy, and wend for a ride on the Zephyr before walking over to GRR. It appeared they were filling the flume for testing. Peaked into Condor Flats then decided to walk through the Grand California, across the street, through the parking lot, and out to the Disneyland Hotel to check out the rennovation work. Circled back to the Monorail station and rode into Tomorrowland. Grabbed a Fastpas for Buzz and walked around the old Honey I Shrunk the Audience theater to see if there was any visible progress then met up with some friends near the Autopia. We walked around the Matterhorn and out to Small World. Went for probably our last voyage of the holiday season and then wandered into Toontown to see what was going on. Ended up in Mickeys House and the line for Mickey (which was only about 10 minutes). Spent some time around Donalds Boat and then walked back toward Fantasyland. Hopped on the Tea Cups (only a two cycle wait) before continuing around the Big Thunder Trail and to the now mostly drained Rivers of America. Took some pictures of the River around the walls and continued out to Critter Country. Got in line for Pooh. While in line we noticed someone in a wheel chair having a problem getting out of their vechicle. This lead to a backup at the station and the ride shut down. Due to them having to evacuate and restart the ride we bailed on the line and walked back through NOS. Decided to hike up the Tree House to see a better view of the drained River and then we headed for Buzz to use our Fastpasses. Had some time to kill so roamed around Main Street and found a spot to watch the 6:15 pre-parade which now features the Muppets. Saw it come out of the parade gate and head up Main Street. Decided to push through the crowd (cutting through the stores) and get some shots coming up Main Street and then for the fun of it decided to circle through the Castle, Fantasyland, and out to the Small World Mall to catch it coming through there. After taking my fill of pictures walked through Tomorrowland and through the Street Party traffic mess to exit the park. Headed for DCA and Taste Pilots for dinner. After dinner strolled around GRR and out to the Pier. All was quiet so walked through the Wharf and Bugsland to the Backlot around and up the other side of the Street back to the Sunshine Plaza. Walked back to Disneyland and roamed around Main Street as I headed out to Tomorrowland to check out the band performing there. Only tolerated two songs then headed for Small World to see the lights one last time. After that ended up on Main Street again and stopped by to see Great Moments. After the show still had 20 minutes till Remember so decided to take the tram back to the garage and watch from there before heading home.
