Trip Log:
We arrived at the Mickey and Friends garage just after 7:30am and were lucky enough to make it in the first row on Daisy. Hoppped on a tram and headed for the parks. Arrived at Disneyland right about 8am when it opened. Once we stepped onto Main Street we were greeted by quite a few CMs lining the street and high fiving/I mean fouring you. We made our way down to the AP processing center because one of the retiredgeeks passes had a problem and needed to get fixed (when they upgraded to their Premiere passes there names/pictures got switched). After that 20 minute delay we strolled into Fantasyland. Went on Dumbo with no wait at all and caught Pinochio too before heading over to DCA. Lined up just before 9am and was about a dozen people back in our line. They let us in at 9:30 to get World of Color Fastpasses (got the blue section for the 9pm show) and then waited for the rope drop in the Bay Area. At 10am when the park opened followed the masses out to the Pier and went for a spin on Toy Story then the Fun Wheel. The swings were down so skipped them and went on the Zephyr. Wandered down the parade route and did a quick tour of the Backlot before heading over to Taste Pilots for lunch (it was just after 11am). After our quick lunch it was back to Disneyland and time to find a spot for the redidcation ceremony that started at noon. It was 11:30 and finding a good spot was a challenge due to the large crowd already gathered. Watched the ceremony from near the flag pole and then wandered down Main Street. Found a shady spot for a few minutes then queued up to for the 1:30 College Band reunion show around 1:00pm. After the show made our way Down Main Street and stopped by the Cinema to check out the new footage (which was great!) and get some A/C. Next up a 2:30 march down Main Street by the College Band and the reunion band. After their march had the opportunity to talk to some members of the groups in Toontown. After talking with them made our way down to Town Square for the 4:15 Happy Birthday moment. Which also included a finale marked with a large dance number that featured tons of characters and a lot of cast members. After this hung around Main Street for the 5:10 Flag Retreat and then wandered down the street to Plaza Inn for dinner. After dinner caught a couple of the College Band stops for the pre-parade and the Voluntears Cavalcade before making our way over to DCA. Watched some of Glow Fest and then walked through Bugs Land (went for a spin on Fliks Flyers) before heading out to the Pier to queue up for World of Color. Joined the mass waiting to get into the viewing around just after 7:00pm. At 7:30 they let us in and found a decent spot for the show. Camped out for the next 90 minutes waiting... watched the show and then headed for the tram, car, and home (after a brief peek into Glow Fest on the way out).

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.
