Contributing photographer Jason of disneygeek.com sends us these photos from his trip to the parks on Friday, August 15, 2014.

First stop today, Disney California Adventure.

The Grand Californian is still covered in scaffolding and mesh as the renovation work progresses.

You really cannot tell the progress.

Still working out on the Pier. I did not walk out there.

It had been a while since I walked through Bugs Land. Hopper has returned outside the entrance to Tough to Be a Bug.

The Disneyland Resort 2014 All-American College Band wrapped up their season Friday night.

Made my way over to Disneyland next. A look at the recently completed section.

Heading into Tomorrowland. The Astro Orbitor and Matterhorn.

The second section from the left of the turn stiles that are now behind the walls, this is the last section to be worked on.

Stopped by the Big Thunder Ranch to listen to the Music of Nashville As usual it was not very crowded. The set was already underway.

Probably just over 50 guests in the audience.

Land was cheap this afternoon, only 50 bits.

For the Haunted Mansions 45th anniversary there are prints available at four dining locations. They are $5 with a min. $30 purchase.

The temporary sign is still up even though the scaffolding is gone. Wonder if more work is coming.

Time for the nightly Flag Retreat

The Haunted Mansion turned 45 last Saturday. So paid a visit today.

Last week several people commented on the waterfall in Critter Country. Here is a wider picture showing where it is.. you can just barely make it out in the background here.

Closed out my night with Magical. It started nearly 20 minutes late. I heard there was a delay with Fantasmic and this was the ripple effect.
There was no sight of Tinkerbell or Dumbo this evening.
