Contributing photographer Jason of disneygeek.com sends us these photos from his trip to the parks on Friday, August 28, 2015.

It has been a while since I posted a look at the projects and changes around the parks on AllEars.net so here is a look at both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure then some Disneyland Forever pictures from in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle to close out the set.

Arriving at the Tram stop in Downtown Disney, the Aladdin Home Video release and Inside Out are being advertised.

Went for a spin on the Fun Wheel to see if you could see anything. From this angle you cannot really tell anything about the progress on Luigi’s in Cars Land.

Guess the fountains in Paradise Park are not going to return. You would think if they were the 100 degree weather is the perfect time to run them.
