An overview from the Mickey & Friends Parking Structure	10.21.16

Starting on the left the dirt mound is below the tree line. In the distance you can make out the top of a new backstage building taking shape.	10.21.16

Panning to the right.	10.21.16

The tunnel facing Fantasyland and beyond it work on the old skyway hill	10.21.16

To the right the Frontierland facing entrance and the Fantasmic backstage marina.	10.21.16

	10.21.16

Continuing to the right with the recently finished wall you cannot see the river side work, assuming it is progressing.	10.21.16

Toward Critter Country some cranes in place. They recently drove the large steel i-beams into the ground that we spotted. They are used for retaining the dirt on the right of this shot. So my original guess was wrong.	10.21.16

A new wall taking shape along the soon to be backstage road.	10.21.16

Moving back to the tunnels. To the left you can see the footer and rebar for the wall continuation is taking shape.	10.21.16

A little hard to make out but the steel you see sticking up at dirt level appears to be supports for the rock work on the Big Thunder Trail.	10.21.16

Moving on toward the marina area.	10.21.16

Workers help give a sense of scale.	10.21.16

Forms up where the new walkway will connect to Critter Country.	10.21.16

A closer look at the steel for the new retaining wall. They will be shaving off more of the original berm.	10.21.16

The marina roof looks to be almost done, one more segment to go and they are working on the wall nearest us.	10.21.16

	10.21.16

In the lot nearest the structure more dirt is being moved around for the foundation work to start for the show building.	10.21.16

Lining going in the basement hole.	10.21.16

On the far side rebar for the foundation looks to be taking shape.	10.21.16

Looks like they are almost to ground level near the large retaining wall. That seems like it will be part of the noise buffer between Fantasyland and Star Wars.	10.21.16

A closer look at the steel frame that popped up beyond the dirt mound. Guessing it is a backstage support building with the location.	10.21.16

The rock work on the point of the island looks to be wrapping up.	10.21.16

More steel mesh for rock work waiting to be assembled.	10.21.16

Looks like more dirt will be brought in here to bring it up to the top. The other side of the wall looks like a stone wall.	10.21.16

A closer look at the remaining dirt near the retaining wall.	10.21.16

	10.21.16

A more clear shot of the dirt mound for those tracking it.	10.21.16

From ground level onboard the tram. Looks like conduit work going on.	10.21.16

Moving inside the park, a look from the Big Thunder Trail only this week, Critter Country was closed. You can see steel for the rock work support is taking shape.	10.21.16

Looking through the fence more steel support.	10.21.16

Panning to the left.	10.21.16

As I was leaving crews were still working (it was after 9:30pm)	10.21.16
