This page is to help you quickly jump through this picture set. Below you will see a listing of the pages and the captions on that page.

  • Page Number: 1
    The tram stop Nightastic Billboards are gone and the Toy Story ones are back (my guess for only a couple weeks till the Halloween ones go up)
    The far side of the Pinocchio lot has a wall up, could not tell what was going on
    The side of the tram stop nearest Indiana Jones is behind a wall too. It looks like they are repaving, just as they did out by the garage.
  • Page Number: 2
    All the banners in Downtown Disney are back to generic celebration ones
    No real visible process here.
    The Orange Stinger is stripped down to the basics now
  • Page Number: 3
    The lifts for the doors have been installed.
    A wider shot of the viewing area
    Boards now cover the steelwork
  • Page Number: 4
    The painting/aging appears to be done here
  • Page Number: 5
    Some new rails/supports are being installed where all the cables head backstage, wonder if this is for a cover? Or just more cables
    The black tubs are still on the ground.
  • Page Number: 6
    Looks like the cables are connected or at least run into these boxes out on the platform
    The first tier wall is taking shape
    A closer look
  • Page Number: 7
    The new fountain
    The walkway is now even narrower and the parade no longer comes out this far, also notice they have started to dig for the basement of the Little Mermaid building.
  • Page Number: 8
    Here you can see the retaining steel in the background that was driven in over the last week or so. It shows where the footprint of the building will go out to (it will be just inside that if this building goes up like others I have seen).
    The equipment for the swings
    Lamp posts have been taken out
  • Page Number: 9
    A better shot of the boards covering the steel
    Now over to Cars Land
    The buildings are moving along slowly
  • Page Number: 10
    The renoovation work has started on half of the Dream Tower at the Disneyland hotel (the half on the left). You can see the track for the lift on the far side where the windows have been removed.

    A couple more shots of the WoC viewing area
  • Page Number: 12

    They were hosing down the pool area.
    The walkway looks nearly complete
  • Page Number: 18
    Sod has gone in
    More landscaping going in
    For more shots be sure to check out the Construction Progress section

  • Page Number: 20
    I forgot to mention the kiosk near the theater is now a Pottery Painting location
  • Page Number: 21
    A closer view of the lift/elevator attachment point
    There is a large area blocked off with barricades and signs like this
    This walkway was closed (but you could walk down the street)
  • Page Number: 22
    From the other side where the test rooms were
    Only half the tower is closed off
    From the inside

    No visible progress from this angle on the new stroller building (or at least what every says is the new stroller building so I am calling it that too)
    The window has been installed above the door
    due to the lighting I could not get a good picture though
  • Page Number: 27

    The new building backstage by Monsters Inc at DCA

    A new structure has popped up near the ODV carts by the old Motorboat dock (current smoking area)
  • Page Number: 29
    still only 2 birds..
    Hmm.. someone or something hit this rock.
  • Page Number: 30

  • Page Number: 31
    The cart is still out right next to the wall
  • Page Number: 32
    Storybook Land is behind walls..
    Kind of odd to walk by with the tarp but the eye is still moving..

    The window in the castle is behind curtains too

    Rumors early in the week were the dragon was going to return by the end of the week...
    The TLT Dance Club is gone since Summer Nightastic is over... but still great groups. Scot Bruce was there Friday.
  • Page Number: 37
    For those that do not know he does a great Elvis show/
    Well the sun set with the smoke/clouds and the Matterhorn looked great.. it did not photograph that well..
    A small fire on the tracks.. left from the previous train. When our train pulled up someone got out of the cab and put this out.
  • Page Number: 38
    A quick trip through the Haunted Mansion
  • Page Number: 39
    Noticed the donkey was back in Pirates (it probably has been for a while but I had not ridden recently)
    We got to this point in the ride and our boat stopped... then we sat there for a good 15 minutes or so as they recycled the attraction
  • Page Number: 40
  • Page Number: 41
    Made it out of Pirates just as the Columbia was finishing its trip (noticed the Croc is back). So it took me nearly 40 minutes from when I boarded the boat for Pirates till I was out by Fantasmic...
    The dragon did not show again.... maybe someday...
    Noticed the Nightmare Before Christmas merchandise has taken over the first shop (I forget the name)
  • Page Number: 42
    On the way out noticed the Halloweentime Ads are up
  • Page Number: 43
    I had a second camear so here are a couple shots from that one. A wider view of the WoC work
  • Page Number: 44
    Noticed the sod is in on this side of the Grand CA too
  • Page Number: 45
    There were new guidemaps Friday
    The Pier section was looking rather empty
    For being stuck on Pirates they gave everyone a readmission pass to an attraction of our choice (except Toy Story).
