    All of the entrance mural at DCA is now removed.
    They also removed a couple sets of turn styles in the middle.

    They were expecting a large crowd so everyone required a hand stamp today.
    Some of the temporary signage remains so guests can find guest relations, etc..
  • Page Number: 3
    Not much visible difference here except a mound of dirt. Too bad no easy way to look down on this.
  • Page Number: 4
    The Mickey popcorn buckets are throughout the resort.
    The side of the Little Mermaid building facing the restrooms is covered again (it was exposed last trip)
  • Page Number: 5
    Working my way around front.
    A look at the Cars Land rock work.
  • Page Number: 6
    Spotted some trees in the distance. Wonder if these are tests? Seems odd to install trees before painting.

    The steel work is moving along.
    Panning to the right.
    A closer look at the large structure in the center of the racers turn.

  • Page Number: 11
    The Disney Channel Rocks show was starting so I stopped by for a few songs.
  • Page Number: 12
    A bigger crowd than last time, but still not that good, especially compared to the crowds I saw at the Florida version.
    No line for Duffy. Just one family.
  • Page Number: 13
    Looks like the rails up all the time is the new operating procedure on Screamin
    Divers working on the World of Color platform (the right two were submerged and just the one for the Disney Channels Rocks show was up)
    Even though the park was crowded the Toy Story wait was reasonable.
  • Page Number: 14
    As soon as the show ended the techs moved in to move in to clear away the stage.
    Some Fun Wheel shots of the Cars Land Work
  • Page Number: 15
    I was on the wrong side so sorry for the lines... but a couple shots of the dining area work.

    Looks like the roof is going on this structure.

    The stage is almost all broken down and ready to be wheeled backstage.

    Here is where they were working.
    The caravan of stage components was lining up.
  • Page Number: 26
    The divers returning to continue working.
    Noticed a Palm tree was cut down. Guessing one of the recent storms caused some problems.
  • Page Number: 27
    A closer look a the dining area work. The new structure is taking shape.
    Surprised they did not cover the hole.
  • Page Number: 28

    You could not make much out through the tarp.

    In Adventureland they were trying to keep the crowds moving by making two one way walkways.
  • Page Number: 35
    Some crowd shots from the Pirates bridge.
    The line for Pirates.
  • Page Number: 36
    In NOS they have the HM buckets, not the snowman Mickey.
    Got stuck here.. seems quite a few guests decided to ignore the CMs that were pleading (and speaking loudly in a couple of cases) to keep moving and not watch the parade from the walkway.
    Finally made it to Small World just as the parade ended.. here is looking back at the mess.
