Contributing photographer Jason of disneygeek.com sends us these photos from his trip to the parks on Friday, December 16, 2011. In part 2 are shots from around Disneyland including some of the Holiday festivities, a video of The Magic, the Memories, and You!, and some evening photos from Disney California Adventure.

Next stop Disneyland!

Arrived on Main Street as the Christmas Fantasy Parade was making its way down the street. Noticed the lead unit that features Duffy was not there. I liked the Toy Soldiers leading the way!

A very odd sight for mid afternoon. Star Tours Fastpasses available for less than an hour away and a short wait?

Some shots from the Monorail. Thanks to the windows being up and the sun they are not the best but you can get a quick glimpse of the state of things.

Wow out of focus… but you can see how the store facade has been extended with the new steel (the black steel)

Noticed what appears to be new stoppers on the monorail station gates to stop them from swinging all the way open. Guessing this is to help herd guests to the proper cars?

Went for a second ride to get the other side and had a similar problem with the window.

The wait times around 4pm.

A look at the new signage for the Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe which is slated to open in January.

A new weather vane.

Cartoon Spin was down (as was Small World when I walked by)

Walked through the Big Thunder Ranch area as well as Santa’s Reindeer Round-up

The line for Santa was short, too.

Looks like the sign had some issue thanks to the wind I would assume.

The Billies in the Golden Horseshoe were the next stop for me.

The wait times around 5:30.

A look down Main Street.

During the wintertime enchantment/snow event the lights all turn white.

A look at the castle.

Even ElecTRONica felt empty this evening.

Poreotics were performing this weekend. This group is the reigning champion of America’s Best Dance Crew according to the intro. Here is a video of their 8:30 performance.

Back to Disneyland to catch some of the Snow Fall since the fireworks were cancelled due to wind.

Stuck around for the Magic, the Memories, and You. There is a Christmas/Holiday segment added to the middle of the show.

Here is video of the entire show.. it is not the best, seems the camera did not like the location but you can sort of see it and can hear everything. (The holiday segment starts about 7 minutes in.)

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, http://disneygeek.com
