Narrative:

I was flying in the orange county area and was fully aware of the disneyland tfr that was in place with a 3 mile and 3000 ft radius around the area. Since I was aware of the tfr, I contacted socal on 124.65 on my second radio to let them know that I was in the area and what I was doing while I was up with los alamitos tower. The socal controller reminded me of the disneyland tfr and advised me that I was unable to transition through it and gave me a squawk code. I repeated back the code and let them know of my intentions. I advised them I wanted to work at the 22 freeway. The socal controller advised me that she would give me vectors to fly to keep me out of the disneyland tfr. I was given a heading of 120. As I transitioned along on the vectors, I was then given a heading of 100. I was given the 090 heading by socal, and I advised them I was 'on station,' and asked for confirmation that this was clear of the tfr. At this time I was advised by socal that I was a half mile outside of the tfr. When I was done 'on station,' I advised socal and asked to transition to the northeast of my present position and was given approval. With my second radio still up with socal, I contacted sna on 128.35 as I was approaching their area. I advised the controller at john wayne of my intentions to transition to the northeast of my current position and that I would be 'on station' to shoot pictures. I also advised him that I would call him when I was on station. Sna advisories approved my transition and advised me that socal had handed me off to them and to remain on my current squawk code. At this time, I changed the second radio to the helicopter traffic frequency of 123.02. When I was 'on station,' I advised sna advisories and let them know I would be there for roughly 5 mins, they approved my location. After I was done and called sna advisories to let them know I was all done and would like to transition north bound towards fullerton. I was cleared for the transition. When I contacted sna advisories to clear north and ask for a frequency change to fullerton, the controller said he had a number for me to contact. I took down the number and then contacted fullerton tower. I landed at fullerton and called the number. The manager at socal advised me I was going to be cited for pilot deviation for flying through the tfr.
