Up at 5:30 for the 6:00am power walk I mentioned in the
previous post. This is
free activity for guests staying on-site; you just have to sign up at your hotel or by calling guest services. Space for each walk is limited to between 10-20 people depending on the day, but I ended up doing this each morning of our trip and we didn't have more than 8 people each day. The walk itself is 2 miles and takes place in the California Adventure theme park before it's open. As you go, the cast members leading the walk give facts about the park and answer any questions you have. It's like a fast, exclusive behind-the-scenes tour. Taking photos is not allowed on the walk.
The meeting point for the start of the walk was at the Grand Californian entry gate to the California Adventure park. I arrived at 10 'til and there 4 others waiting. About 5 minutes later our Disney cast member fitness leaders arrived and after a quick roll call we signed our liability waivers and were given neon yellow safety vests to wear. Two other guests arrived, and while they were filling out their liability forms the last 2 guests arrived.
