Started off this great Friday afternoon heading for Disneyland. Strolled down Main Street, around the hub, and into Tomorrowland via the walkway between Matterhorn and the backside of Buzz. Walked by the subs and the monorail and then turned around and headed toward Small World and into Toontown. Made the loop of Toontown and then walked back through Fantasyland and around the Big Thunder Trail, stopping at the ranch. Continued on along the Rivers of America and out to Critter Country, looped back and walked through New Orleans Square and Adventureland on my way back to Tomorrowland. Grabbed a Fastpass for Buzz and hiked up the ramp to Innoventions. I walked back out to Small World to catch the pre-parade, but still had 15 minutes to kill so took the train back to Tomorrowland and then wandered out to Main Street and caught the Prince Caspian pre-parade there. Next up over to DCA. Walked through Condor Flats stopping to grab a Fastpass for Soarin and then continued around GRR and out to the Pier. Something was set up in the Cove but no indication of what. I decided to give one of the Food and Wine demonstrations a try but I had a few minutes to kill still so walked up the Pier a bit to grab some Toy Story Mania shots then back to the Wharf for the demonstration. After the session I made the full loop of the Pier first walking by the Corn Dog Castle, Burger Invasion, etc.. around to the Sun Wheel. When for a spin and then continued on past Screamin and back to the Bay Area and through Bugsland. Decided to hike over to Disneyland to catch the 4:30 Flag Retreat and then back to DCA for dinner at Taste Pilots before the Parade. After the parade roamed around the park and stopped by another demonstration out in the Wharf for a few minutes then walked over to the Backlot. Walked past Muppets and Monsters and stopped in the Animation Building for a while. Next up strolled through Condor Flats and over to the Grand Californian. Got my construction shots and then headed through Downtown Disney and back to Disneyland. Made my way back to Tomorrowland and caught a little of the Instant Replay set, while waiting to get on Buzz, which was down. Gave up and spent some time walking around the Castle taking pictures and then through Plaza Gardens and into Frontierland. Noticed there was no line for Pirates so went for a cruise then hopped on the train and rode around to the front of the park. Walked over to DCA now that it was dark and hiked out to the Pier to see what was lit up on Toy Story Mania, not much. Took some pictures then found a place to watch the Electrical Parade. About half way through the parade I headed for the trams so I could catch the fireworks from the garage, did that then headed home.

Started off this mild afternoon heading for Calfiornia Adventure. Walked down the parade route and out to the Pier area. Walked around by Screamin and then around Toy Story Mania (the walkway is open again). I stopped by the Sun Wheel and the line was longer than what I had the patience to wait for so I kept on going past the Orange Stinger and back to the Bay Area. Strolled by GRR, stopping to take some pictures of the new bridge, then continued on through Condor Flats and down the Backlot. Made the loop and then waited to see if there was any shot of making it into the 2:30 Playhouse Disney. There was not, I was too late.

Wandered down Main Street USA, stopping for pictures at Bob Gurrs new window, then the Lineboard before finding my way into Adventureland.

Spent some time at the ESPN Zone checking out the scores then walked back to the parking garage. Grabbed some clothes for later in the evening and took the tram back to Disneyland. Walked down Main Street and out to Fantasyland. The line for Casey Jr did not look too bad so hopped in it. After 15 minutes we moved maybe 15 feet so bailed out of that slow moving line and strolled through the Big Thunder trail and over to Frontierland. Went for a trip on the Mark Twain. Once back on dry land headed for Main Street to grab a snack and then find a spot to catch the Navy Band from Washington DC that was performing in front of the castle.

Started off walking across the Pinochio parking lot and over to the Disneyland Hotel. Walked through the Lobby then circled the ground before heading toward Downtown Disney. Stopped by the Rain Forest Cafe gift shop then headed up to the monorail station. There was at least a two maybe three monorail wait (and since only one was running) I made a u-turn and walked through Downtown Disney. Decided to head to DCA first. I strolled down the backlot, circled by Tower and then over to Monsters Inc. There was no visible line so decided to go for a ride (there ended up only being about 10 people in front of me in line). After riding walked back toward the entrance and then took a left to the Farm area. Circled Bugsland and walked toward the Wharf. Stopped by the Bread Tour for a sample and then continued on to the Pier. Walked around past the Orange Stinger to the Sun Wheel. I was next to get on and they said there was a problem and closed the attraction. I waited around a bit but then gave up and doubled back and around to the other side of the Pier (due to the Toy Story work you have to walk all the way around to get to Screamin). Took some pictures there then walked through the Bay Area and past GRR. Saw there was no line at Taste Pilots so grabbed an early lunch (it was around 11:30). After lunch I doubled back to the Pier and the Sun Wheel was running again so hiked out there and went for a spin. After my trip around the sun it was back through the Bay Area and past GRR on my way to the Grand Californian. Stopped by to check out both construction projects then walked out to Downtown Disney. Next up Disneyland. I strolled down Main Street USA and checked out the line board. I saw there was a crowd at Plaza Gardens so I stopped by there for a minute then cut through Frontierland on my way to Adventureland. Walked through Adventureland and out to the Rivers of America. I saw the Mark Twain was in so headed that way, I was out of luck they were shutting down the attraction. The CM said there was a problem on the River so the both boats would be down for a while. I could not see anything and the Canoes and Tom Sawyer Island rafts kept running. I walked along the River and out to Critter Country. Then I circled back and hopped on the Train. I rode to Tomorrowland and then walked through Tomorrowland, past the Castle and into Fantasyland. It was starting to drizzle so I made a u-turn and headed for Frontierland. I ended up hanging out in the shops in Frontierland a bit waiting for the cell to pass. The Mark Twain pulled in and guests were allowed to board this time so I went for a trip around the Rivers of America. Once back at port I walked the Big Thunder trail and back to Fantasyland. It was almost 2:30 and time for the Billy Hill show so I headed back to Frontierland and caught the show. After the show the rain had started again so I headed off to Adventureland and caught the Tiki Room. After the show the rain had stopped so I strolled out to Toontown. Made the circle and then back past Its a Small World. The parade was just going by (due to the weather it was rolling along, no stops this afternoon). I was stuck so I walked back through Fantasyland and the Castle to get to the hub. After the parade pasted I headed for Tomorrowland. I stopped by Innoventions and cuaght the Asimo show. After the show headed back to Main Street. I decided to grab a hot dog then head down to Town Square for the Flag Retreat. Due to the weather it was just the recorded show, no Dapper Dans or Disneyland Band. The rain started to pick up a bit. After the retreat I called and checked on the weather and was told more rain was on the way so I decided to call it an early evening and head home.
