Contributing photographer Jason of disneygeek.com sends us these photos from his trip to the parks on Friday, February 1, 2013.

I arrived at the Disneyland Resort just after lunch and opted to walk to the parks through Downtown Disney. Over at the Disneyland Hotel the walls that were around the end of the Fantasy Tower are all gone and the area cleaned up.

A temporary stage set up closer to where the ice rink was due to the work going on where the stage usually is.

Waiting to get into Disneyland. The lines were moving rather slowly this afternoon and were backed up beyond the Monorail beam.

The waits around 1:35pm, not bad at all with the longest posted being 25 minutes only.

This was the last weekend for the Salute to the Golden Horseshoe Revue as part of the Limited Time Magic. There were no tickets for later shows of the Revue but was able to walk right in on Standby for the 2:00pm show.

If you would like to see pictures and video be sure to check out my update from January 11th for an extensive look at the show.

Noticed a time lapse camera set up looking toward the mountain (just to the left of center frame here). Demo work has begun on Rainbow Ridge, in the background you can see the front is gone from one of the facades.

Two of the three Fantasmic light/fountain platforms are being worked on. This is the center one.

Two of the three screens as you enter the Blue Sky Cellar had a short loop of Fantasy Faire work now, last visit they still had the old loops playing.

A look at the new loop (I know the quality is terrible… but you can get the drift of what is being shown, the quality is my fault not with the capture).

Wonder if this video will be altered with Tony Baxter leaving WDI.

Caught World of Color, was in the yellow section I think (there was no real crowd so the far side was open to all).

Disneyland Resort Photo Update - 2/01/13

Just noticed (guessing it changed a while ago) the reserved sections instead of saying preferred or a color now say the dining location on them.

Disneyland Resort Photo Update - 2/01/13

On the way out noticed they had encircled the tram parking area with large plastic barriers.

Disneyland Resort Photo Update - 2/01/13

Guess they do not want guests walking through there anymore.
