  • Page Number: 1
    The banner as you leave the parking garage was returned to Star Tours after the holidays.
    Setting up a mesh around the La Brea Bakery as the remodel/expansion moves along.
    First stop DCA... the facades are really taking shape and looking great!
  • Page Number: 2
    The one above the restroom building has stucco already.
    Noticed they have Minnie hands too (probably been selling them for years and I never noticed).
    The back side of the restroom facade.
  • Page Number: 3
    Looking down toward the Carthay there are now trees around the fountain.
    GRR is down for its annual work.
  • Page Number: 4
    Looks like they are going to be replacing some of the wood.
    Wonder if this area will be repainted again.. the green looked odd to me.. too bad they cannot find trees that will last, I thought those looked good at first.
    The Miner 49ers were performing, only a few weeks left in their run before the act is retired.
  • Page Number: 5
    The Redwood Creek Trail is reopened.
    You could smell the new paint/stain/sealer whatever you want to call it.
    Nothing really new or different jumped out at me on my quick walk through.
  • Page Number: 6

    Dug out for pictures.
    Moving on down the trail scaffolding up as they are working on the building and the lift hill.
  • Page Number: 8
    The rock face overlooking the Pier is nearing completion. Notice anything missing here? They have removed the safety line and poles that went across the top of the range.
    Here you can see a section that still has it at the top.
  • Page Number: 9
    More painting along the Pier.
    The facade work on the shops is moving along. What a difference.

    Scaffolding is up on the back side of the range. They are working their way around covering it up.
    All five cones are painted now.
    A closer look. You can see the backstage wall taking shape behind the cones.
  • Page Number: 14
    An even tighter shot for those that wanted to see up close. I like the detail. That looks like an A/C unit below the window.
  • Page Number: 15
    Looks like the frame for a backstage gate being assembled behind the cones. Also looks like one of the Red Car garage doors is open.
    The pavement work in front of the Little Mermaid sure looks done. Surprised the walls are still up.
  • Page Number: 16
    Over at Maters more testing going on.
    Not much visible progress here.

    Crews pausing to watch the Monorail go by.
    Noticed a long line to get through the turnstile at the Downtown Disney stop. The Cast Member working it was examining hand stamps really closely and taking a long time. This is the same one that always seems to jam up the bag check line too.

    As you can see the store itself is vary bare bones since it is temporary. And a very small space.
