  On the far hill where the worker is standing there is some steel. Could not tell if that is just placed there as a staging location or for a rock structure on the island.

  Main Street Electrical Parade time.
  

• Page Number: 92
  

  The lights turned on again as they did last week.
  I figured out the lights... they were turning them on/off for the units that had performers walking in costume.. so the Cinderella mice, dwarfs and Pinocchio.
  

• Page Number: 93
  

  It was interesting to see the lights turning on/off following the performers up the parade route. Guessing a new safety precaution for the performers?
