Contributing photographer Jason of disneygeek.com sends us these photos from his trip to the parks on Friday, May 8, 2015.

Friday marked two weeks until the 60th Anniversary kicks off at the Disneyland Resort. This picture set features a look at the decorations that are showing up around the parks and hotels. Also this weekend was the Tinker Bell Half Marathon & the premiere of the Tomorrowland film in Downtown Disney.

Frozen Fun billboards are still up at the Mickey and Friends Tram stop. The 60th ones should be up soon.

The ticket booths have received some signage for the 60th.

The Downtown Disney sign repainting and renovation is complete.

Because of the Tomorrowland movie premiere & after party on Saturday, Tomorrowland will be closing early for day guests.

60th decorations are showing up on the entrance and train station (the flags and banners)

The lamp posts have received their decorations.

Main Street is decked out in a lot of blue for the occasion.

Sleeping Beauty Castle looks more or less the same as last visit. The final items have not been installed.

The scaffolding is down around Buzz, but the work is not complete yet. It sports a new color scheme matching the character and not really Tomorrowland.

The entrance sign received a new look too.

The Monorails featured wraps/ads for the Tomorrowland film.

A check of the Mad T Party installation progress as we pass over Hollywood Land.

Unfortunately I was stuck shooting through a window so not the clearest of pictures. But you can see Grizzly Peak Airfield is nearing completion. It is scheduled to open next Friday.

Humphreys replaced the Fly n Buy shop.

Looks like all the pavement is in.

The AMC Theater will be hosting the Tomorrowland Premiere Saturday afternoon/evening.

Props were being installed this afternoon

The blue carpet will be here leading to the theater.

Where the press line will be.

Next stop the Disneyland Hotel. 60th Anniversary signage as you enter the lobby.

This weekend was the Tinker Bell Half Marathon. Laura will be covering it in depth since she ran in the races. I will skip the Expo pictures in this set.

Outside work still continues on the fall protection.

The Paradise Pier Hotel has a sign up for the 60th anniversary

New 60th banners on the driveway entrance to the Paradise Pier Hotel.

Some of the windows on Buena Vista Street have received diamonds. (the glare was not helpful this afternoon)

A closer look in the window of the Atwater Ink & Paint store

The Carthay Circle Restaurant has started to receive diamonds too.

Work continues on the facades in the Bay Area.

Most of the Frozen Fun has ended. The Snow Fest has closed and the signage removed.

You can still meet Olaf, but he is outside now.

More diamonds, this time the Elias & Co windows

Interesting…noticed some marking around the hub on the ground. Looks like they will be drilling new holes for more crowd control ropes.

Peter Pan is still behind walls and the project was pushed to a July 1 opening date now.

The facade of Pinocchio is still being worked on too.

The Mark Twain now has 60th banners.

The Haunted Mansion remained closed. It reopens Saturday with the new Hat Box Ghost… was hoping for a soft opening Friday.

The Fantasyland side of Sleeping Beauty Castle

Soundsational passing through the hub.

No drum for the Chip/Dale/Goofy/Pluto they were just dancing along the parade route.

No real visible progress above Tropical Imports

Pizza Port has a promotion going on for the Avengers with special food items and a print available. Laura will be doing a food blog, she tried some of the treats.

A lamp post on Main Street with 60th Anniversary decorations.

Over at Disney California Adventure, on Buena Vista Street, the Julius Katz window features some diamonds now too.

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.
