  Guessing this where a Christmas Party sign goes, but since it is daytime it looks like this.. or maybe there is something else going on here.

  Due to the taping they were forcing you to use the east side backstage corridor to by pass Main Street.
  They have added some paint and barriers since my last trip through here but still very much a backstage feel to it so I am skipping pictures. There was work going on so I am guessing eventually it may be more like what Disneyland has done.
