Contributing photographer Jason of disneygeek.com sends us these photos from his trip to the parks on Friday, July 29, 2016.

An overview of the Star Wars Themed Land construction at Disneyland.



Here is a video look around the site.



The wall nearest Fantasyland has had a coating applied to it.



The walls along the Big Thunder trail have been coated too and are being extended.



A lot of activity toward Critter Country this visit.



Some columns on the wall structure and looks like dirt is being put in between the wall and columns.





A closer look at the far side of the site where they are stalling large steel i-beams. They bore a hole then lower the beam in and fill the hole with concrete. Guessing this will be the support steel for rockwork.



In the center of the site a lot of footers taking shape for the retaining walls for the river, rock work and the backstage Fantasmic marina.



A retaining wall near what appears to be the new tip of the island.



Most of the pipes that were staged here are now installed. More I-beams are on site now.



A closer look at what appears to be the curve of the river with the forms on the left and outhouse on the right.



The new Starbucks in Downtown Disney is open.

Most outdoor vending carts now feature a small podium with a cash register, this one in Paradise Pier.



The Tower of Terror from Sunset Blvd.



The old Mad T Party props are now gone.



Over to Disneyland, a look through the fence at the end of the Big Thunder Trail shows the new wall along the old walkway.



Pocahontas was out meeting guests along the trail.



Some scaffolding has come down on Tom Sawyer Island revealing a new color scheme.



A check of the work from near the canoe dock in Critter Country.



In New Orleans Square some renovation work going on at the Train Station. You can still visit the train during the work.

Time for the nightly Flag Retreat.



The old workshop near the Village Haus is now called the Royal Reception and it appears to be a check-in area for the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. I did not venture inside.



A check of the former Skyway area. The walkways have been removed and new plants and trees brought in.



Casey Jr. had no wait so went for a ride.

Another example of an outdoor vending podium



The Toontown Depot is behind walls for some renovation work.



Walls up under the monorail.

Time for Paint the Night.



Disneyland Forever fireworks were cancelled so instead a couple minute projection/light/laser finale.
