  A pit was dug in one section of the site. Hard to tell if it was for removal of something or the start of something.
  The old berm is disappearing. The earth around this tunnel is gone and very little of the tunnel is still around.

  For scale notice the people on the left by the backhoe.

  A view from the canoe area.
  This scene stood out to me as a recent change.. this was on the left as you walked to the lower level of the Hungry Bear.

  From the end of the Hungry Bear dining area.
  

• Page Number: 16
  

  Some of the walls by the Hungry Bear have been removed. It makes it look much less closed. You still cannot see any of the work really so they appear to have been redundant.
  You can see across the fort now.. so I guess they may return when work on that part of the Island starts.

  Looking up from the entrance you can now see the Hungry Bear again vs walls.
  Moving around to the Big Thunder Trail you can see the large earth movers as you pass by Big Thunder.

  I had the opportunity to attend a World of Color Dessert Party on Thursday night. So I queued up at 7:15pm, it was to open at 7:30. For a more detailed review visit our blog for World of Color Dessert Party here are my 1st impressions and details
  The party is available most nights and costs $79 a person. You can book through disneyland.com
  Cast Members preparing to escort us to the party are. The checkin process was extremely slow. They started at 7:30 sharp and we were about the middle of the line and we did not get seated until 7:52. World of Color started at 8:15 so approximately half the party time was waiting to be checked in.
