  Starting off this visit (like all the other recent ones) at the Mickey and Friends parking structure checking out the Star Wars construction. A pan from the left to right starting at the large dirt mountain that was created.
  As we work our way across the area in the foreground was being worked on, most trucks were inactive this afternoon.

  From this angle really hard to tell what is going on.

  A little hard to tell but there is quite a bit of elevation change going on out there with some paths carved.
  A lone bulldozer moving through the river bed.
  

• Page Number: 4
  

  To the far right the clearing goes beyond the Pooh show building, almost to the emergency gate. So all the old buildings were removed that paralleled the tramway.
  Back to the far left of the site. Here you can see how the project stops short of the backstage road that several of the fireworks platforms are along.
  Back to the center of the project. Two notes here. One the Skyway building is still standing and two the rock archway and tree are gone. Hopefully they were re-located.

  Equipment at work on the area just past Critter Country.

  An ambulance parked along the fence.
  Hard to tell but looks like the river will start to turn just past the canoes.
  Hard to tell how the tip of the island will look. Right now you can see dirt was removed and that is about it.

  A lone worker crossing the site. It helps with scale.
  He stopped to look at something.
  Notice how far down they have graded compared to where the walkway height used to be. Use the cart to help with scale.

  Random Matterhorn picture
  No visible progress on the Skyway building from here.

  A wide shot of the area.

  Looking toward the Disneyland Hotel. Within 5 years this view will change with another hotel between here and ESPN it was reported this last week.
  Another look toward Critter Country from the edge of the structure. Here you can see the leveled area that is being graded. This is parallel to the tramway and runs almost to the emergency gate.

  Notice the bulldozer is going down, helps to give a sense for how deep.
  Looks like a meeting on the dirt mountain overlooking the site.
  One more look toward the Winnie the Pooh building. Notice the fence lines.

  A quick cell phone video before moving on of the site.
  The closed attraction list for the day was no overly accurate. The treehouse was open and the swings are still closed.
  LCDs screens were installed and active at all the ticket booths as I entered.

• Page Number: 41
  

  This sitting area was blocked off. No signs of work. Maybe some painting?
  The number of promotion signs is starting to get overwhelming in places. They are substantially larger than the regular menu (note it in the upper right).
  The Green Army Men seem to cross my path frequently now a days.
  

• Page Number: 42
  

  Almost time for my flight... guessing this FastPasses should change next week with the new film too. Kind of surprised it has not gone to a generic Soarin yet.
  Wonder if the interior queue will change.

  A look out past the Big Thunder Trail.
  

• Page Number: 45
  

  Panning right to left across the site. Here you can see how they have dug down. Wonder if this is to help accommodate the train and keep its path level and not such a big dip to go beneath like Toontown? Or if is is just pre-work before it gets built back up.

  A closer look at the meeting on the mound.

  No visible work on the Island.
  

• Page Number: 49
  

  The view from Critter Country.

  Not sure what the mounds are for/from.
  

• Page Number: 50
  

  It appears the area at the bottom of the back stairs of the Hungry Bear has been cleared.
  A last look up river.
  

• Page Number: 51
  

  Made my way up to the Hungry Bear and the one clear vantage point is now walled up. Guessing because the stairs are no longer usable.
  So that means only some poor views through the mesh are available.
  

• Page Number: 52
  

  You can sit in the cab in New Orleans Square now too.
  

• Page Number: 53

  A closer look at the line, notice in the background it comes down the ramp.

  Sleeping Beauty Castle in the distance.
  Found a spot. 8:50 and the parade has just stepped off at Small World. Main Street crowd has thinned due to the opening of the two side alleyways.

• Page Number: 81
  

  Elsa traveled solo down the parade route on the balcony (Olaf was on the back of the float as usual).
  Due to the wind Disneyland Forever was cancelled. So they ran alternate version, which is the finale Live the Magic song with projections, lights and lasers, just as you would see in the regular show minus the fireworks.
