Contributing photographer Jason of disneygeek.com sends us these photos from his trip to the parks on Sunday, April 10, 2016.

Laura covered the Food & Wine Festival in a separate post so I have included some general park update pictures from the visit. My day started off with a calm drive through Los Angeles, but came to a stand still waiting to enter the parking structure at 8:05am.

An overview of the Star Wars construction site on this cloudy morning. The backstage buildings on the left have been cleared.

Here is a pan across the site from left to right.

In the foreground the buildings that were removed this past week. The green fences mark a road connecting the two parts of backstage right now.

No visible progress on the rest of the LCD screens for the ticket booths. The project appears to have stalled.

The current park map and inside ads.

Only 26 days until the Jungle Cruise returns (scheduled to re-open on May 6) and this skipper was excited.

Trees now obstructed most of the parking structure. I am assuming these are the ones they saved from the berm/island.

The views up river are getting more limited. Here is one of the few left from near the Canoes.

Critter Country was empty and I was waiting for the rest of my group so took a look at the critter benches.

Decided to take a hike up the tree house to see what can be seen. A clear view backstage beyond Big Thunder.

Looking up river the other direction you can see the trees right behind the screen and the bare berm beyond.

Moving on to the far end of the Big Thunder Trail.

More cleanup/removal in the Ranch area but not much else visible through the fence.

Scaffolding still up on the hills of Toontown as the final details are replaced.

The Autopia refurbishment continues. The blue matches the Monorail station.

Super Hero HQ signage is still up even though the area is closed and the meet and greet has moved to DCA.

The skies were turning darker on us…there was a 10-30% chance of rain in the forecast.

The Lilly Belle was not out today. Guessing with the rain they moved it back to the round house.

Stopped by Off the Page in Disney California Adventure. There is a rack of vinyl records now. They had some film sound tracks and these.

Captain America and Spider-Man are on Sunset Blvd, where the Monsters University space was. There was a healthy line and no good angle to get them without waiting.

A look at some of the props.

Captain America heading off, to the left you can see Spider-Man

Laura went to a seminar/tasting, I stopped by the Lifestyle stage and Jenn Fujikawa was talking about Food & Fandom: The Recipes of Star Wars. As she talked and answered questions a slide show of some of her creations played in the background.

Something new to me…today they had all the popcorn flavors available at the Cozy Cone and you could pick what you wanted instead of just the two for the day.

By Disney Jr they were passing out free buttons.

To close out some brighter views from the parking structure.

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, https://disneygeek.com Also be sure to follow me on twitter @disneygeekcom for pictures from the parks.
