GPS Tracking at Disneyland

We headed to Disneyland today with the boys (Sarah got her own “Princess” trip with Mommy to Disney earlier in the year):

I put a couple EZ-1000’s in the boys’ pockets in case they got lost and to document our day.

Originally they were labeled Goofy & Dumbo but my boys took exception to that. I called Tech Support and within 2 minutes Adam had them changed to Chip and Mickey (per my kids’ wishes).

Here’s a picture of our first day at California Adventure, then Disneyland. (There’s a cool time lapse video of this at the end of the blog article):

They tracked like a charm for the entire trip from Scottsdale at 1 minute updates. No kids got lost or ran off with Goofy.

I decided it would be a good idea to walk home to the hotel. Apparently I was wrong, and had to carry Ryan on my shoulders most of the way (fun).

I got to measure it afterward — only .57 miles, but it felt like longer after walking all over Disneyland:
