Contributing photographer Jason of disneygeek.com sends us these photos from his trip to the parks on Friday, November 14, 2014, the first weekend for all of the holiday decorations and activities at Disneyland.

Returning to Disney California Adventure. The window of Off the Page.

Inside the Animation building the Character Close-up area is closed. Internet rumor is the Frozen sisters will be moving in here.

Time for the Buena Vista Street Community Bell Ringers.

A couple clips from their performance.

One more clip from their performance.

Viva Navidad! has returned to Paradise Gardens. The Street Party was in full swing when I arrived in the area.

Viva Navidad offerings

Goofy was out for pictures when I walked by.

The 2014 logo on merchandise.

This Route 66 sign along the parade route seems new to me. It is hung like the snow flakes.

Time for the lights and neon to come on along Route 66. This week Winter Wonderland was played.

This evening Santa Mater rolled by as the event was happening.

The setting sun and new Route 66 sign, notice the snow flake lights in the background.

The citizens of Buena Vista Street gathering for the tree lighting.
The event was the same as the last couple years.

Here is a video from last year of the Tree Lighting.

The Christmas tree in Town Square lit up.

A Christmas Fantasy Parade making its way up the parade route.

If you were interested here is a look at this section from the old Very Merry Christmas Parade. I recorded this in December 1993.

As expected the jungle does not have a lot of lights…so the pictures are not very good.

The villagers had the generator they found going so their lights were on.

The projection show from last year has returned to Small World Holiday.

I returned to Main Street for Sleeping Beauty Castle Wintertime Enchantment. Here is a video I took last year of the show. It appeared to be the same this year.

Some Hanukkah items for sale.

Over to Buena Vista Street and Trolley Treats. Holiday cookies.

A look around Carthay Circle this evening.

The Mad T Party Band was performing when I arrived. They are concluding their sets with holiday/snow songs and snow fall.

The Mad T Party Band finale from 2012 leading to snow fall.

Snow Flakes lead the way to Paradise Pier.

Time for the 2014 edition of World of Color Winter Dreams.

It now features more Frozen. Included is Do you want to build a snowman?

Here is a video clip of the opening.

Olaf is still the host.

There seemed to be more of Tinker Bell and her friends in the video this year.

A clip from the middle of the show.

Big Hero 6 made the clips package this year. Here are Baymax and Hiro.

In Summer has a new finale

Santa Mater

Here is a video clip of the new Frozen additions and it runs through the finale.

After the finale for the exit music they use a studio recording of Glow (the song that opened the show last year)

A brief clip as I was exiting the park.
