Contributing photographer Jason of disneygeek.com sends us these photos and video clips from his latest trip to the parks on Friday, November 4, 2016.

A video overview of the Star Wars construction site from the Mickey and Friends parking structure.

An overview of the site.

Footers are in for the wall to the left of the Fantasyland entrance tunnel.

The Fantasmic! marina looks to be enclosed now.

The new path from Critter Country to Star Wars is slowly taking shape. Dirt has been removed from behind the large retaining wall behind Critter Country.

Footers for the foundation of the show building are also taking shape.

Moving on to the Tram stop work: The closest section of the Pinocchio lot is now fenced off and equipment looks ready to start. Also, the crosswalk has been moved closer to the structure right now.

A closer look at the removed hedges and security barriers:

World of Color Season of Light billboards are at the tram stop now.

Halloween was still present on the tram route.

Over the entrance gates, though, Halloween is gone, but Christmas has yet to arrive.

Christmas has arrived at the Train Station, note that there’s no train out front this week. The traditional Christmas decorations are up on the Train Station.

Town Square is looking festive.

The tree has yet to be installed.

Snow has fallen on Sleeping Beauty Castle. Nice to see it back this year.

A look around the hub:

The Partners Statue with Sleeping Beauty Castle

Frontierland has been decorated, too.

Approaching the end of the Big Thunder Trail… The rockwork is taking shape along the trail.

New Orleans Square has been decorated.

Critter Country decorations are up, too.

Taking a look at the Star Wars work from Critter Country, it looks like the first trestle is taking shape as well as “toothpicks” for the rockwork support structure.

Winnie the Pooh was out near what will be Santa’s meet-and-greet in a week.

The trestle over Critter Country is under wraps and looks like it is being rebuilt/renovated.

Scaffolding in Toontown has moved to the Five and Dime.

The Toons have decorated already. The fire truck is back and looks good as new.

Mickey’s House:

“it’s a small world” is closed while the holiday show is being installed. It reopens November 10.

Hyperspace Mountain has returned.

The Dapper Dans performing on Main Street USA:

Next stop, Disney California Adventure! Buena Vista Street is partially decorated. No tree yet and the window displays are not done.

Disney Festival of Holidays is taking over DCA starting Thursday, November 10.

The marketplaces that were used in the Food and Wine Festival have returned.

Menus are not posted yet, just names for the locations (I have pictures of all of them in my full set if you wanted to see them)

Work continues in the Hollywood Studios area:

Scaffolding continues to go up on the Tower of Terror. There was a posted wait time of 90 minutes this afternoon.

A side view of the Tower of Terror. Looks like scaffolding is up on three of the four sides so far. Just this side to go:

Cars Land holiday decorations are almost all up, too.

Paradise Park is ready for the new World of Color show, Season of Light, which starts this Thursday. The fountains were warming up for the regular show this evening.

There are actually more marketplaces for the holiday than the Food and Wine event had. Here is one in front of the Little Mermaid.

A couple more marketplaces near the Zephyr.

New boxes/barges with equipment are out in Paradise Bay for the new World of Color show.

There’s been a tweak to the Toy Story queue — a new entrance point. Rumor is that FastPass is coming to this attraction. If that’s true, this change to the queue to accommodate it makes sense.

A small stage set up in the Wharf area:

And another marketplace near Grizzly Rapids Run.

Santa will be in Redwood Creek this year.

Back in Disneyland park, Frontierland lights were on this evening.

I found a spot under the lights on Main Street for Soundsational.

Noted a few things on my way out of the parks.

Tupua performing in Downtown Disney tonight.

Route 66 after dark.

A lot of activity going on in the Pinocchio lot this evening. They were removing the asphalt and other debris from near the parking structure.

They are enlarging an opening into the Mickey and Friends parking structure on the first floor.

And finally, the Fantasy in the Sky finale from the structure.

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, https://disneygeek.com Also be sure to follow me on twitter @disneygeekcom for pictures from the parks.
