  A couple video clips of the current state of the Star Wars Construction from the Mickey and Friends Parking Structure.
  Through the trees you can see the AT-ATs in the new show building. Today they were adding more steel to the roof.
  On the north side (far left) you can see what looks to be a new backstage building continuing to take shape. In front (closer to us) of that is foundation work for the second show building.

  On the far right side (by Critter Country) a new wall is riding. The building on the right is the back of the Winnie the Pooh show building. The hungry Bear is to the left.
  Panning a little to the left you can see where the train will eventually come out from behind the Hungry Bear. Today they were pouring concrete in the area. Maybe foundation work for the new trestle? You could not really see.
  Moving more to the left in the distance you can see a wood frame on the island. Assuming that is the new cabin (between the crane and tree in the center of the picture).

  They were using it to move dirt from the Star Wars side to the river side. A front end loader was dumping dirt into the hopper on the left and it would travel along the belts through the trees.
  Back to the AT-ATs

  Reached the hub at 8:43 as the lead of the MSEP was making its way through.
  Then came to a halt in Tomorrowland. Had to walk almost all the way to the Orbitron to turn around and walk back through the crowd to the crosswalk. Because of the backup I did not get to cross till the third crossing. Here is a look back with the backup reaching well past Buzz by now. (this was 8:51pm)

  Finally crossing at 8:58 right before Elliot reached the hub.
