Contributing photographer Jason of disneygeek.com sends us these photos from his trip to the parks on Friday, July 25, 2014.

A wall up at the far end of the Mickey and Friends tram stop. As we drove around it was hard to tell what is going on. Maybe some paver work.

First stop today, DCA. Notice the light pole is still missing out front.

Walked through Condor Flats. On the GRR/Planes Billboard, the lattice work on the bottom left that was broken is now fixed.

Further along the trail they were setting up scaffolding on the side of the Grand Californian that is closest to GRR.

The covered area on the right is still behind walls and tarps. This project is taking quite a while.

Ornament Valley – Cars Land. They were just filling the queue as I walked by. The Racers had been closed for an extended period, over an hour a cast member said.

Walked through Ramone’s. Some of the new pin-striped merchandise is on the shelves.

The far set of turnstiles has emerged from behind the scaffolding looking as good as new.

The normally peaceful stroll up Main Street was very loud today with what I am guessing is construction noise. It drowned out the background music and most of the other audio.

No water today in the hub.

Made my way to Adventureland to see if any of the elements for the upcoming game are installed yet.

The outdoor vending cart is gone from this area. Wonder if something to do with the game will be going here?

Some work going on by the Adventureland Traders

Curious how the game will work with the already usually congested walkway.

The work on the New Orleans Square roof tops looks to be complete.

The price of land has gone up in Frontierland for the Legends of Frontierland: Gold Rush game, a 50% increase over last week when I walked by.

After eating at the Village Haus walked out and saw no line for Casey Jr. So hopped on for a ride.

Sat in the Caboose facing backwards, also had my choice of a private animal car Here is a video of the trip.

Some stills from the trip.

Interesting… the third character at the Royal Hall is just listed as a “Royal Friend”. Curious who is rotating through there. I did not have time to explore this pass by.

Merida was out in the courtyard greeting guests. Her meet and greet area was temporarily closed due to the parade about to start.

Back to Frontierland.

Stopped by the Golden Horseshoe to see a performance by Miss Lilly & LB.

Spotted a former member of Billy Hill and the Hill Billies out roaming around.

Made my way up the Big Thunder Trail to the Music of Nashville to catch the final set of the day.

This week there was a different band performing: Smith and Wilkes, but one of the lead vocalists from last week remained.

A wide shot of the venue for this set. I was surprised by the small crowd. I would have thought a later set would be more crowded.

Here are a couple clips from this performance of the Music of Nashville.

This week the Frozen pre-parade was listed on the times guide.

It ran before both Soundsational Parades. Her eare pictures as it made its way through Fantasyland before the 6:30pm Soundsational.

Soundsational making its way toward the hub.

Noticed many of the props that were on the display cases are gone. Hopefully this is temporary. It smelled like wood in there, so maybe they were rebuilding/working on the display cases/racks.

Walked through the Mad T Party

Ariel was not moving/dancing in the Under the Sea scene this time by.

We stopped for several minutes in front of Ursula. So here is a video clip of her performance, including an announcement that we were delayed..

The Hearthstone Lounge at the Grand Californian is being renovated. While it is closed there is a temporary lounge set up with some tables outside.
