Contributing photographer Jason of disneygeek.com sends us these photos from his trip to the parks on Friday, February 5, 2016. The big news this week is the Lunar New Year Celebration and APDays. As always you can view the full picture and video set on disneygeek.com

Before starting the pictures wanted thought I should note that Disney California Adventure turns 15 this week. The park officially opened on February 8, 2001. Here are some video clips I took from the Annual Passholder preview that was held on Feb 3, 2001 if you are interested.

For the month of February the Disneyland Resort is celebrating AP Days with special Annual Passholder Events throughout. Here are signs at the entrance of Disney Califronia Adventure.

Each week will feature a different theme.
