Started off the morning hanging around the Disneyland Hotel room a bit and then packed up and headed out to breakfast. Decided to move the car to the Mickey and Friends structure to make leaving easier this evening. Arrived at Disneyland and spent some time wandering around Main Street and the hub area before making a quick trip out to the Small World Mall for some Lunar New Year sets/props pictures in the day light before heading to DCA to join the rest of my group and wait for the rope drop. Due to some Run Disney event everyone was held up in Condor Flats. We joined the masses doing the long hike out to Toy Story. After our ride then it was over to the Fun Wheel before the line grew. Once back on the ground we continued on around the Pier and went for a spin on the Swings then hopped on the Little Mermaid before heading back to Disneyland. Strolled down Main Street USA and made our way out to the Small World Mall to check out the Lunar New Year Festivities. Then headed to Frontierland to meet up with some friends for lunch. After lunch some stayed behind to visit and the rest of us ended up in Tomorrowland and went for a ride on Buzz. Then everyone else headed back to Frontierland to go on Big Thunder and I wandered out to the Lunar New Year Celebration to meet up with some other friends. Ran into my original group as they were heading to Tomorrowland for Autopia so I tagged along then split off to visit Innoventions before rejoining them and going for a spin on the Tea Cups. We all headed over to DCA. Most headed for Fliks and I made a stop by the Blue Sky Cellar to see if anything new/interesting was visible in Cars Land before joining them. We then hung out in the Backlot area, watched Muppets, caught a little of the Dance Crew then some of the group went on Tower of Terror. After Tower we walked back through Bugs and out to the Pier for a ride on Toy Story followed by dinner at Taste Pilots. After dinner ran into some friends so chatted for a while and some of the group split off to ride Soarin. Decided it was time to call it an evening so hiked back to the car (the tram lines were fairly long) and headed for home.

Arrived at the Disneyland Resort right after lunch and headed for the Disneyland Hotel to check in. Parked in the 20 minute registration lot and was checked in and back moving the car in under five minutes. Dropped the bags off in the room, snapped a bunch of pictures then headed for a late lunch at the Rain Forest Cafe. After lunch I circled back to the hotel to walk through the fitness expo and the rest of the group took the Monorail into the park. I then walked through Downtown Disney and up Main Street on my way to Tomorrowland. There was no wait at the Monorail Station so went for back to back rides to check out the construction. Once back in the park met up with the rest of my group at the Lunar New Year Celebration. Walked by the Toontown Train Station then through Fantasyland and around the Big Thunder Trail to NOS and cut through Adventureland on my way back to Main Street. Watched a little of the Flag Retreat then headed to DCA to try and get a couple construction shots before the sun set. Made our way to the Blue Sky Cellar and then out to the Pier for an after dark spin on the Fun Wheel. Circled back to the Blue Sky Cellar to see if anything new was inside (a couple of new pictures) then back to Disneyland. Roamed down Main Street USA and into Adventureland. Stopped by the Jungle Cruise then continued on to NOS and went for a ride on the Haunted Mansion then hopped on the train. I disembarked at Toontown and the rest of the grop continued on to Main Street. Took some pictures of the Lunar New Year sets before walking toward Main Street to meet up with everyone else. I actually managed to beat them there.. they were on a slow train! At this point they headed for Downtown Disney and back to the room. I went back to DCA since Disneyland was closing. Met up with some friends by the Little Mermaid and then the plan was to try and catch World of Color but it was cancelled due to wind. So we walked around the Pier and then down the Backlot to visit ElecTRONica before the park closed. Wandered through Downtown Disney and they went for a late dinner at ESPN Zone and I continued on to the Disneyland Hotel to take some pictures around the ground and the room at night before calling it quits for the day.

Arrived at the Disneyland Resort in the early afternoon to some perfect spring weather, temps were in the upper 70s, and mild crowds. Took the tram to the parks and headed for DCA first to check in on the construction. Walked around GRR and out to the Pier. Went for a spin on the Fun Wheel and as I was finishing my loop of the area caught a little of the Phineas and Ferb show. Continued on to the Wharf and then the Blue Sky Cellar area before reaching Buena Vista Street. Walked through Condor Flats and over to Disneyland. Strolled down Main Street USA listening to the new background track a bit before verring off to Tomorrowland. Hopped on the Monorail and went for back to back rides to see both sides of the Buena Vista Street work. Once back in the park headed out toward Small World, unfortunately Soundsational was just wrapping up so had to wade through that crowd on my way to Toontown. Circled Toontown then walked back through Fantasyland and around the Big Thunder Trail. Strolled along the Rivers of America and out to the Huanted Mansion for a couple pictures. Walked back through New Orleans Square and Adventureland on my way to Main Street. Cuaght a little of the Flag Retreat then returned to Fantasyland via the Castle to grab some dinner at the Village Haus. After dinner walked out to Small World and went for a ride, the Holiday version is still running. Then wandered back through Fantasyland and the Big Thunder Trail to the Rivers of America. Took some pictures before heading to Main Street to find a spot for Soundsational. Watched the parade from in front of the Firehouse/City Hall and then headed for DCA. Walked through Condor Flats and out to the Blue Sky Cellar area to get some Cars Land shots. Notice more lights on so had the bad idea to hike to the Fun Wheel to try for a last minute ride. Made it out there as the last groups were being loaded and they would not let anyone else in line, so the mission failed. I walked back to the Blue Sky area and then through Bugs and out to the Backlot to catch Laserman. After Laserman returned to Paradise Park and took in some of World of Color from a couple alternate viewing locations before leaving a bit early to return to Disneyland for Remember. Found a spot on Main Street and only had to wait about 5 minutes for the show. Afterwards joined the masses heading for the exits. Hopped on a tram and headed the garage, car, and home.

Started off this cool and overcast morning walking to the parks from McDs on Harbor. Stopped by the ticket booth to buy some tickets for some of the group while the others parked the car in the garage. Then we queued up to enter Disneyland. Ended up having to wait for the others since it took longer than expected for them to arrive. Once we all assembled we headed down Main Street. At this point I went to check out the Jolly Holiday Bakery, others to Star Tours for Fastpasses and another group to Matterhorn. All met up near Alice and I headed up to the Small World Mall area to watch the Toy Soldier Jam and the others over to Mr. Toad. I then headed through Fantasyland and around the Big Thunder Trail and into Frontierland to check out the area for the Three Kings Celebration that was going on this weekend. Then walked along the Rivers of America and turned around at the Haunted Mansion and doubled back through New Orleans Square and Adventureland. The others went to Space Mountain then met me on Main Street so we could head over to DCA for the rope drop. Picked up Soarin and World of Color Fastpasses then waited to join the herd heading for Toy Story. Went for a spin and then on to the Fun Wheel for some Cars Land pictures. Continued on to the Swings then some went on Goofy and then we stopped by the Zephyr. Walked by GRR and into Condor Flats. The group decided to use their Soarin Fastpasses and I decided to go take pictures of the Buena Vista Street work then wander through the Backlot, around through Bugs Land and out to the Wharf. Stopped by the bread tour and then over to the Blue Sky Cellar. We rejoined the group in the Wharf area for lunch (I hiked over to grab a corn dog). After lunch headed for the Hyperion and just barely made it into Aladdin. Then went for a ride on Monsters Inc before returning to Disneyland. Strolled down Main Street USA and over to Star Tours to use our Fastpasses. A couple broke off from the group to get Fastpasses for Haunted Mansion. We crossed the parade traffic and some went for a Dole Whip, I went to check out the Three Kings Festivities, then we met up and went for a ride on Indy (others went to see the Billies, which I missed due to Indy taking three times longer than the posted wait!). After Indy used the Haunted Mansion Fastpasses then they went on Big Thunder and I hung around the Three Kings Celebration for a while then roamed out to the ranch for a final look this year. Continued on through Fantasyland and out to grab a picture of the Toontown Train Station as well as Matterhorn before rejoining the group on Main Street. Decided to go to DCA and Taste Pilots for dinner. After dinner wandered by Buena Vista Street and up the parade route. Visited the Little Mermaid then strolled by GRR and out to Downtown Disney so they could do some shopping. The group decided it was time to go... so we called it an early evening and headed for the tram, car, and home.
