    Most of the signage is now up.
  • Page Number: 20
    Used a game card at the Games of the Boardwalk. The two horses from our group are 7 and 8.. at the midway point it was close

  • Page Number: 21
    The entrance sign, definitely not as grand as the concept art one, but still nice.

    Painting going on nearby (which made it hard to get any good photos from this side

    The new wall is coming along
  • Page Number: 24
    More shots of the compacted dirt for those that enjoy the progress
  • Page Number: 25
    Just a reminder that for even more shots of the work check out the Construction Progress section (also there if you go to the beginning of the work are shots of the before as well as the concept art)

    Not much change on the small bit of the restrooms that are visible

  • Page Number: 37
    The walls are still up in Frontierland
    As are the Pixie Hollow ones
    The Astro Orbitor has been taken apart
  • Page Number: 38
    I believe this is new.. this is near the hub as you walk straight toward partners from Main Street. So now all the entrances have smooth ramps.. so you can go up Main Street, through the hub, past Partners, and through the castle.. going up and down ramps the entire way without having to snake around
  • Page Number: 39
    The Flag Retreat
    Next up the Lasseter Family Winery presentation at DCA

  • Page Number: 43
    This is where the CA wine walk was last week. The new location near the tortilla tour makes more sense

    The walls are down around this set of doors
    But there is a curtain up inside off to the side still.. must be painting
