Contributing photographer Jason of disneygeek.com sends us these photos from his trip to the parks on Friday, August 26, 2016.

A quick video look at the Star Wars Construction site from the Mickey and Friends Parking Structure.

An overview of the site

Closer to Fantasyland the retaining wall is slowly taking shape with more wood being inserted between the steel i-beams.

In the distance notice trucks working on the old Skyway hill. In the center of the site it looks like a maze of walls right now as the retaining walls, Fantasmic marina, and river all continue to take shape.

Excavation work for what looks to be one of the show buildings is underway.


World of Disney rolled out Halloween merchandise.

Some renovation work on the west side of the Main Street Train Station

Main Street USA this picture perfect afternoon.

Work continues on the Market House

The Shooting Exposition has re-opened.

No real visible changes jumped out to me.

The Columbia has moved again since my last visit. It is no longer docked on the island. The dock is still out, though.

The Columbia is back in the harbor. Note the top of the masts and a fair amount of rigging is gone.

The Haunted Mansion is closed for the annual transformation as Jack decks the halls.

Walls now extend all the way to the Hungry Bear ramp. You cannot access the lower level from this area.

You now enter using a temporary walkway that is over the small stream area. You enter to the right of the Winnie the Pooh entrance.

Exterior renovation work is underway on Peter Pan. .

Captain Hook was out at the old motor boat dock.

Halloween merchandise is out on Buena Vista Street in Disney California Adventure.

Stopped by the Disneyland Flag Retreat and this evening they were honoring members of the 9th & 10th Cavalry, the Buffalo Soldiers, who are celebrating their 150th anniversary this year. Several members were on hand as well as other veterans for the ceremony.

The Disneyland Band has resumed the Flag Retreat duties now that the College Band has ended its season.

After the ceremony members of the Disneyland Security Honor Detail came back out to present the Buffalo Soldiers with Challenge Coins.

Then they all gathered for group pictures.

Tower Gifts has Halloween Merchandise too.

The Pete’s Dragon preview has ended so nothing is showing in the Sunset Showcase Theater.

This little sorcerer making his way up Main Street USA drew a lot of attention.

Decided to continue the nautical theme this visit was taking on and go for a Jungle Cruise. (Plus it was only a two boat wait).

Found another cruise to take.. .Small World was only a 5 minute wait.

Tomorrowland was not bad for a Friday night at 8:15pm

Found a spot for Paint the Night near Coke Corner.
