Contributing photographer Jason of disneygeek.com sends us these photos from his trip to the parks on Friday, January 9, 2015.

This posting will focus on the projects going on around the Disneyland Resort theme parks. This is just the start of the “off-season” projects and preparations for Disneyland’s 60th Anniversary, which will kick off at the end of May. If you are planning a trip be sure to check the official Disneyland website for what will be closed during your visit. Most of these projects are slated to run through May as of now.

Here is the listing at the security tent for Friday.

The Pacific Wharf Cafe and Bakery Tour are behind walls right now.

A couple of its menu items have moved next door to Cocina Cucamonga. The far left window/registers are selling Clam Chowder and Broccoli and Cheese bread bowls. The rest of the windows show the Mexican menu.

World of Color is closed for the winter for renovation. They are draining Paradise Bay. A look at the current state.

A sign explaining how the water will be recycled.

Out on the platform, some new hose reels are visible, but not much else yet.

Here you can see the water level is down slightly from where it normally is.

The fountains are interesting to see for geeks like me, but are a great example of bad show from a theme perspective.

Condor Flats is completely closed off for renovation work. With Soarin’ down for an extended period, they are taking the opportunity to redo the theme of the area.

The kiosk near the Corn Dog wagon featured Soarin’ merchandise. Again, Condor Flats is closed, including the Fly n Buy.

Taste Pilots Grill is also closed, so some of the menu items have are now being served at the Paradise Garden Grill.

In Paradise Park, the two archways that had plants on them have been removed. Looks like they were cut out.

Dug was out near the water wheel since Redwood Creek was also closed.

The walls blocking Redwood Creek

The walkway is blocked just past the Grand Californian walkway.

Nothing visible going on along the walkway. Wonder if anything will change there or if the walls are that far out just to stop guests from going down the dead end?

The Condor Flats walls come all the way out to the line board.

Looks like the name Condor Flats may be going away and it will be the Grizzly Peak Airfield when it reopens.

On the wall, a map shows what is closed off, directing you to the Garden Grill for burgers.

Work being done to the Stroller/Wheelchair Rental facade. Everything is open still, it’s just being repainted.

The work continues all the way into the park.

The Jungle Cruise is closed for the removal of the Christmas overlay.

The Magic Eye Theatre is closed for removal of Big Hero 6.

The Matterhorn is closed for renovation. The wall features the same signs as last year that talk about the history of the mountain.

Looking back at the Matterhorn.

The Big Thunder Ranch Jamboree is closed this week. The BBQ was open and had a crowd.

The old Frozen meet and greet location in Fantasyland is closed. Olaf is still on the roof and they have a face-painting area set up outside.

Preparations are underway for a new fireworks show for Disneyland’s 60th anniversary this summer. This winter Fantasy in the Sky has returned while the work is going on. Here is a video of the show taken Friday night. This is the entire show.

Hope you enjoyed this highlight tour of the Disneyland Resort. For additional photos and details from this trip you can check out the full Disneyland Update I posted on my site, http://disneygeek.com Also be sure to follow me on twitter @disneygeekcom for pictures from the parks.
