An overview of the site from the Mickey and Friends Parking Structure.	8.26.16

Starting on the left/north side of the site. The Mound of dirt continues to shrink as it is used elsewhere.	8.26.16

Wood continues to be inserted between the steel i-beams for the retaining wall in the distance.	8.26.16

Dirt has been backfilled against the concrete retaining wall. Looks like they have just a little ways to go, assuming all the black will be covered with dirt.	8.26.16

On the far hill, the old Skyway hill, they are working on placing more i-beams. In the mid-ground you can see a bridge/tunnel taking shape. On the right are retaining walls for the river and backstage marina for Fantasmic as well as the support structure for the rockwork and waterfalls.	8.26.16

	8.26.16

More rebar and walls up around the river, but not much visible progress on the island itself.	8.26.16

More utility work going on, they were unloading more supplies for the new pipes.	8.26.16

A closer look at the new retaining wall taking shape on the far side of the project.	8.26.16

Panning to the right and the dirt against the wall.	8.26.16

Moving dirt against a far retaining wall of i-beams and wood.	8.26.16

The bridge/tunnel has forms and looks ready for concrete.	8.26.16

A closer look at the structures in the middle of the site.	8.26.16

Guessing that rebar sticking up is for the new retaining wall for the Rivers of America.	8.26.16

In the area closer to the structure excavation is underway. Assuming for one of the show buildings.	8.26.16

Pipe work continues along the perimeter of the project.	8.26.16

Here you can see a second retaining wall on the left taking shape.	8.26.16

Looking toward Critter Country.	8.26.16

A closer look reveals they have removed the old stairs and ramp that led to the lower level of the Hungry Bear and Restrooms.	8.26.16

To the right more utility work.	8.26.16

Between the trees is where the Disneyland Railroad comes out from near the Hungry Bear. Soo guessing they are grading for a new bridge that will span the new walkway to Star Wars Land.	8.26.16

A wide view of the area.	8.26.16

A better view of the excavation.	8.26.16

A crane working further down the site behind Critter Country.	8.26.16

The Columbia is back in the Harbor and missing its masts and a lot of rigging.	8.26.16

The area below is still open, but you have to go to a temporary walkway that is near the Winnie the Pooh Entrance.	8.26.16

A look at the walkway, it is built on top of the stream.	8.26.16

	8.26.16

Where the ramp/stairs used to connect.	8.26.16

Upstairs a partial wall is now up blocking the back dining area.	8.26.16

A look at the walkway from above.	8.26.16

The view from the tree house. You can see the i-beams on the right and a little of the mound of dirt on the left now.	8.26.16

A closer look	8.26.16

The view in Fantasyland.	8.26.16

The trees do an ok job of hiding the equipment working just on the other side.	8.26.16
