    All the work on the parking garage entrance signs is done.. but since I was driving I could not get a picture.. here is one where you can just barely see the top/back side... maybe next time.
    Tonight is a Halloween Party night, so here are some rules.
    The Christmas tree is backstage being prepared for its debut on Main Street in a couple weeks.

    The backside of the work.
    Out by GRR noticed they had a register outside now and some merchandise.
  • Page Number: 4
    Thought the cheap bubble making guns were an odd fit for the area and really did not work..
    Screamin is back in operation and no noticeable changes, just fresh paint and some new track.
    The mesh is slowly making its way along the back side of the mountain range.

  • Page Number: 11
    A couple of workers out by the Flying Tires but no signs of testing.

    Looks like foundation work for the remaining cones is underway.

    The Carthay is moving along behind the tarps.
