Contributing photographer Jason of disneygeek.com sends us these photos from his trip to the parks on Friday, June 6, 2014.

First stop this afternoon, Disneyland and no wait to enter.

In Adventureland, a new temporary wait time sign for the Jungle Cruise.

Walked through New Orleans Square. The Club 33 project is scheduled to be wrapping up in less than a month. Not much visible progress due to the tarps obstructing the view.

Walked around the Rivers of America to the Big Thunder Ranch. At the Springtime Roundup only two characters out this pass by. Thumper (seen here) and Brer Rabbit.

Went for a trip on the Monorail. A look down at the sub lagoon work. Not a lot of visible progress in this area. Note today marked the 55th anniversary since the attraction opened. Too bad you cannot experience it to mark the occasion. It is slated to be closed through Fall (no official date of reopening has been announced yet that I know of).

A check of Alice in Wonderland from the Monorail, less than a month until it is scheduled to return for the 4th of July holiday weekend..

Looks like the concrete extension is done and the track protection is off.

Stopped by Captain EO since it is closing soon for some work.

Some Marvel merchandise is now available in the Starcade

Tomorrowland horticulture with the Matterhorn looming in the background.

A check of the Alice in Wonderland work from the ground.

The underside of the extension has concrete (or whatever material it is) now.

A closer look.

Sleeping Beauty Castle

Walked through Fantasy Faire. Only two princesses inside this afternoon and no wait at all (posted at 5 minutes but they were letting you walk right in).

Beauty and the Beast was being performed at the Royal Theatre

4:00pm means Mickey’s Soundsational Parade is stepping off by Small World. Next week the Frozen pre-parade float is scheduled to make its debut.

On my way back through Fantasyland noticed the canopy for the queue is MIA.

Made my way over to Disney California Adventure. The summer issue of the Buena Vista Bugle is now available.

The awnings at the FFP Cafe are still gone.

Was walking through Flo’s V-8 Cafe in Cars Land and noticed this sign. Is this a new menu offering or just a new sign.. I do not remember it (nor the sign).

Stopped by the Animation Building in Hollywood Land. Planes Fire & Rescue ad in the Animation Building. Interesting that Frozen is still there and not Big Hero 6.

A Red Car on Hollywood Blvd in front of the Animation Building.

Stopped by the World of Disney in Downtown Disney. The collection room which used to be Villains has been redone.

Cash registers are on one side only now and the display cases are gone. I did not see a new one with watches, jewelry, etc.. but I did not explore the store that much.

Downtown Disney has a summer celebration going on. It kicked off last week (June 1) and runs through September 6th. Here are a couple special offerings at Catal.

Rainforest Cafe offerings.

The Disneyland Hotel pool’s vintage sign above the monorail water slide.

Seems like they are having problems with the Tangaroa Terrace. Saw several of these signs around the area trying to direct guests there.

As part of the Summer Celebration on many Friday nights they will be celebrating Hawaii. This evening there was a group called Tupua performing songs and dances from the south pacific including Samoa, Tahiti, and Hawaii. I missed the start of the performance. There were no showtimes posted that I could see.

Of course an audience participation song.

A video clip of the finale to their performance.

Some treats on display at the Marceline Confectionery

Build-a-Bear supporting the LA Kings

At the end of their set they announced the next one was at 8pm so I circled back to catch the beginning. Almost showtime.

The opening and a couple of clips from the Summer Celebration show being presented by Disney Aulani and Downtown Disney.

Made my way to the Tomorrowland Terrace for the 8:35pm set of the Suburban Legends (notice the Captain EO shirt). They performed a fun set that included: Colors of the Wind, Kiss the Girl, Beauty and the Beast, Duck Tales, Sweet Caroline, and Gummy Bears.

Sleeping Beauty Castle, Magical was cancelled this evening due to winds.

So I headed for Disney California Adventure and found a spot just before showtime for World of Color under the Silly Symphony Swings. It offers a great view of the fountains…

…but the audio is terrible (tonight the background music was still playing) and the projections are not really visible and what you can make out is backward.

But you can see the fire clearly.

After World of Color the park was closed to day guests and Grad Nite was taking over. Their party started at 10pm in Hollywood Land and Cars Land and would take over more of the park once the World of Color guests leave.

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.
