    Spotted this CM near the door to the games, could not tell if they were testing/working behind the wall, or if he was on break from somewhere else and just hanging out there.
    The Toy Story queue is showing some wear already
    A couple Fun Wheel shots
  • Page Number: 16
    Spotted what I would guess is a sign for the Fun Wheel on the ground.
  • Page Number: 17
    Looking across the Bay
    A decent shot of the crane. It appears it is being used to lower the platform/stage pieces into place
  • Page Number: 18
    Most of the trench near the parade gate has been repaved. Just one sectino closest to the gate is left, the ODV stand has returned too (my picture did not come out but its the same)
    The forms are going up for the retaining wall/support structure for the swings queue

  • Page Number: 21
    They finally poured some concreate in these small supports. Now a vertical pillar is attached

    The new Bay Area restrooms are being framed
    Also looks like a new addition to the building being added

    No line for new annual passes..
    A couple shots of the new guidemaps.

    In the Disneyland map everything is the same more or less except for the indication of the 3 parade stops (also note it shows the wrong route, the parade does not circle Town Square)
    The DCA map lists the Fun Wheel and Games of the Boardwalk now.
    And the picture has been changed. It shows a sun icon where the Mickey Face was not a ball like the concept art.
