  The Mickey and Friends Parking Structure line to park was at a standstill (both lanes). No lines at the toll booth but the ramp and on the floor were like this.
  A video clip overview of the Star Wars construction from the Mickey and Friends Parking Structure.
  In the three weeks since my last visit the attraction show building steel has expanded more and a second crane is onsite starting the second show building.
  

• Page Number: 2
  

  Here is the second crane on the left (north)side of the other.
  The trees have been trimmed and you can now see more of the second attraction foundation work. The forms are removed and concrete walls are visible.
  The first attraction show building continues to grow.
  

• Page Number: 3
  

  A closer look at the building showing the second floor and roof.
  The steel is almost out to where the circular structure is. That structure has a lot of rebar going in and forms up still.
  To the right of the circular structure walls are continuing to take shape.
  

• Page Number: 4
  

  To the right of that the forms are removed and concrete foundation is visible. Assuming walls will start to take shape here soon.
  On the far north side of the site the crane was lowing a support trailer into position along the newly redone backstage road.
  Looking at the far berm toward Fantasyland. Looks like some ground cover around the trees.
  

• Page Number: 5
  

  A closer look shows plants waiting to go in and what looks like tree props.
  This looks to be an old backstage gate.
  On the Critter Country side crews were working near the new train bridge.
  

• Page Number: 6
  

  Moving back to the north side. On the right you can see steel for the millennium falcon attraction building.
  A closer look between the trees on the north side shows the concrete foundation work.
  In the cast member parking lot a new temporary building has been moved in taking away more parking.

  A wider view looking toward the park.
  A closer view of the roof of the large attraction building. Looks like they are preparing it for concrete.

• Page Number: 9
  

  Another view of the steel for the second building.
  Moving back to the scaffolding over the circular structure. (which you cannot even see anymore).
  

• Page Number: 10
  

  A closer look at the top level.
  To the right the maze of walls.
  Crews working on the rebar that will be inside the walls. Looks like two doors/walkways through the wall.

  Dirt is being brought in to backfill around the wall for the new train bridge.
  Random shot of the trees and back of the rock work.
  The rebar foundation work continues to expand to t he right.

  Moving back to the millennium falcon attraction concrete.
  More steel waiting to be installed. Soon the building will take over this space too.
  

• Page Number: 13
  

  Back to the circular structure work.
  A closer look at the rebar work. Interesting looks like the wall will go across.. so my guess of a spiral to get from one level to the other was wrong.
  

• Page Number: 14
  

  More trees going in on the far berm. To help with orientation the tunnel on the right is the one to Frontierland.
  A closer look.
  Crews working on the area over the Fantasyland tunnel.

• Page Number: 16
  

  The trailer has been put in position. Also a better view of some of the concrete for the second building.
  The truck on the flatbed is leaving. Looks like that was the delivery truck for the trailer that was put into position and the truck was also on there going elsewhere (assuming not Disney).
  Looking toward Critter Country.
  

• Page Number: 17
  

  A closer look at the crews compacting and moving around the dirt that is being back filled.

  Time to head to the parks.
  Security was backed up today. They were using less than half the check points which contributed to the lines.
  

• Page Number: 23
  

  So I decided to walk. The walkway is now slightly wider.
  Some work going on in the parking lot. I could not tell what.
  Cars backed up to get into the Downtown Disney lot. With it being a race weekend parking was limited and crowds were up.

  FastPass distribution is across the walkway in the corner where the 60th photo op was. Walls are up so guessing a permanent set is on the way. For now just carts.

  Passed through DCA to reach Disneyland.
  Tomorrowland was busy as always.
  My destination was the Monorail with the hope of getting in a round trip before sunset.

  That failed.. the line stretched down the ramp and would be close to 30 minutes so I reversed course and moved on.

  It was breezy this evening and fireworks were looking doubtful.
  I returned to DCA for the Cars 3 Sneak Peek
  The signs in the queue of the Bugs Theater looked new to me. They were no longer movie posters but instead leave shaped and had more facts on them. Not sure how old these are.. they seemed new to me.. but I have not been in here in quite a while and I may just not remember them.

  The entrance to DCA.
  Disneyland Drive looked like a parking lot
  Magic Way was closed. Assuming because the parking lots were full.
