Trip Log:
Started off this great Southern California day (hard to beat upper 70s in late November) heading for DCA, after a brief stop a the ticket window due to some pass issues. Roamed down the parade route and into the Wharf area to reach the Pier. Spent some time working my way around the perimeter of the Bay looking at the World of Color work. Went for a spin on the Fun Wheel and then finished the loop. Strolled through the maze of walls and out to the Bay Area, by GRR, and into the Grand Californian. Walked through the lobby and then Downtown Disney on my way to the Monorail station. Rode monorail red into Disneyland and headed for Frontierland by way of the Hub. Walked along the Rivers of America and out to NOS to grab a Fastpass for Haunted Mansion then through NOS to look at the Christmas decorations. Watched a little of the Showboat Jubilee and then walked around the Big Thunder Trail, stopping at the Ranch for a while, to get to Fantasyland. Walked through Fantasyland and out to the Small World Mall. Stopped by the Princess Faire to check out the rebuilt snack shack and then headed out to Toontown to see what was going on. Made the loop of Toontown then doubled back to Small World. Went for a cruise, with maybe a 5 minute wait, then headed to Tomorrowland to grab a Fastpass for Buzz. I had a few minutes until the Flag Retreat so walked down by the Rivers of America again and caught the start of the Showboat Jubilee then headed down Main Street for the Flag Retreat. After the retreat it was back to DCA and dinner at Taste Pilots Grill. Walked down the parade route and stopped by the Blue Sky Cellar to see if there was anything new then continued on to the Pier again (by way of the Wharf). Made the loop again starting by Ariels and ending up by the Zephyr, actually decided to make it a complete loop and ended up back by Ariels. Then headed through the Wharf and into the Farm area before heading to the Backlot. Walked down and around the area by Monsters then stopped by the Animation building before returning to Disneyland. Once inside Disneyland ducked into the Gallery and Disneyland Story exhibit before heading down the Street. Had some time to kill so walked around the Castle then through the Sleeping Beauty walk through before finding a spot for the Christmas Fantasy parade. After the parade watched the masses disperse while waiting around for the 7:30 snow event. After the snowfall headed for Tomorrowland and used my Buzz Fastpass then hiked out to Small World to see the Christmas lights. After my fill wandered back through Fantasyland, around the Big Thunder Trail, along the Rivers of America arriving at the Haunted Mansion to use my Fastpass. Once my ride was over I headed out to Critter Country for a quick peak around then back to the Rivers to watch Fantasmic. Made the dash to Main Street after the show and found a spot for Believe in Holiday Magic. Watched the show then headed for the tram, car, and home.

For Comparisons to other trips or more park miles click here to visit our park Miles Section.

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.
