  Starting on the left/north of the site and working our way to the right.
  Steel is up on the far side of the Millennium Falcon attraction show building.
  The other large show building for the battle escape attraction continues to add more steel.
  

• Page Number: 3
  

  More of the roof is going on.
  

• Page Number: 4
  

  The wood forms are slowly being removed from around the new concrete structure on this side of the building.
  On the right more forms for walls are going up as the building continues to spread.
  

• Page Number: 5
  

  Toward Critter Country they are back filling behind the retaining wall at the entrance walkway.
  Back to the Millennium Falcon building.
  

• Page Number: 6
  

  A closer look.
  

• Page Number: 7
  

  A gap between the two buildings.
  Looking closer at the gap. On the left you can see stairs for the Millennium Falcon attraction building.. they help to give a sense of scale.
  

• Page Number: 8
  

  The doors and trees are still laying on the far berm.
  A closer look at the back fill project behind the Hungry Bear.
  Notice the crane in the distance.. that is along the rivers edge for landscaping work.
  

• Page Number: 9
  

  A closer look.
  A closer look at the exterior wall support and edge of the roof taking shape.
  

• Page Number: 10
  

  More duct work and other materials on the roof.
  The left side has had concrete poured.. the middle is prepped and the right is still being installed.
  

• Page Number: 11
  

  Panning to the right a bit you can see crews putting the metal down on top of the steel beams for the roof.
  A concrete pumper working on foundation work for another building in front of this one.
  A look at the second floor.
  

• Page Number: 12
  

  On the right notice what looks to be a door.
  Back to the back fill project.
  

• Page Number: 13
  

  The steel staging area is looking rather bare this afternoon. Wonder if that means this section of the building is going up soon.. or just in between deliveries.
  

• Page Number: 14
  

  A little hard to see but a new temporary road has been set up on the graded area running through the middle of the site. There are large mats/plates forming the road.
  Here you can see it a little better. Guessing it is to be used to minimize dirt clouds as the buildings continue to take shape. Wonder if that is approximately the main walkway.
  

• Page Number: 15
  

  Cross member supports for the building to give it more strength.
  Each visit it is harder to see through the building.
  A look at the materials on the roof.
  

• Page Number: 16
  

  A fence up around the marina/pump area. Guessing that means they are getting closer to making that operational.
  Trees and rocks still staged around the area between the two tunnels.
  

• Page Number: 17
  

  Here you can see the dirt level on the right is now up to the top of the concrete along the train path. The trestle looks done too. Rails will be installed soon.
  This walkway tunnel is larger than you may think. Later on I will have pictures of that crane on the other side. I am assuming it drove through that tunnel to get into position.
  

• Page Number: 18
  

  Work continues on the Grand Californian in the distance. The other crane is for Splitsville.

  Buses starting to fill the Pinocchio Lot for Grad Nite tonight.
  A closer look at the tram stop billboards since I did not get close to them last visit.

  They still seem to be having issues with the LCD screens at the ticket booths. The one on the right is a traditional sign over top of the screen box.
  The pricing for today.
  I would have liked to have seen two sided banners with the ones facing Disneyland advertising something over there. Having Hero Up everywhere looks awkward. Also of note the background loop has been modified.
  

• Page Number: 26
  

  First stop today, Disney California Adventure.
  

• Page Number: 27
  

  Trolley Treats
  Some Disney California Adventure wait times as of 1:47. Note Toy Story is now as long as Radiator Springs Racers thanks to FastPass.
  

• Page Number: 28
  

  More wait times. Note Guardians of the Galaxy at 90 minutes and all FastPasses are gone.
  The Racers still had FastPasses but they were in the last hour (really hard to see in this picture)
  Work being done to the Cars Land entrance sign for Cars 3.

  A tree has been removed in the Wharf area.
  All is quiet on Paradise Pier.
  Same for Paradise Park.

  Passing through Grizzly Peak Recreation Area. Never noticed on the picture spot sign they call it Grizzly River Park District.
  A duck buzzing the airfield... it flew the length of the runway.

  One more pic of the duck

  In the garden on Sunset near the Red Car stop was this hint of more Marvel to come.
  A quick video clip to help with location of this.
  Extended queue set up leading backstage but not needed this afternoon.
  

• Page Number: 42
  

  The FastPass distribution area did not change at all. (All tickets were gone for today already).
  

• Page Number: 43
  

  This queue was to meet Groot.
  

• Page Number: 44
  

  The windows of the gift shop are now covered/closed off. They appear to be delivery bays in the new exterior. So no more seasonal displays.
  The benches seem a little odd now to be looking at a wall basically. If they were flipped around you would be looking at the garden/queue for Guardians.

  looking at the area.
  

• Page Number: 46
  

  Black Widow is on the move through Hollywood Land. She comes out a half dozen times a day for a Heroic Encounter. She walks/rides through the area then stops for a meet and greet.
  

• Page Number: 47
  

  As the truck turned onto Hollywood Blvd she got on board to ride.
  

• Page Number: 48
  

  Here are some video clips of the event.
  

• Page Number: 49
  

  The stand (that has usually been a bar) nearest the Backlot stage is now called Bifrosties and serves shaved ice.
  The other stand that originally was the Coke place is called the Cosmic Canteen
  A marketplace is being set up in front of Stage 12. It looked just about ready to open.

  Next stop Disneyland.
  40th Anniversary Space Mountain shirt on display outside Disneyana (which seemed odd).
  Inside they still had plenty of the Fantasmic shirts from last month. Seems odd to have a shirt saying you were there for a show that was not that day.

  Main Street USA at 3:15pm
  Disneyland Wait Times at 3:19pm
  Passing by Big Thunder..
  

• Page Number: 61
  

  The crane is still parked just past the exit to Big Thunder so now view of the trail today. But in the new guide maps the trail is not listed as closed.. so the opening is close. (at the end I will have some pictures of the map).
  The crane in the distance is Splitsville
  Working on the island again.
  

• Page Number: 62
  

  Several cranes in view when you look this way. The one on the left is for the battle escape show building. Straight back is the millennium falcon building. Nearest the Mark Twain is the Big Thunder trail one.
  Parked on the far bank is another crane this one doing tree placement. This is the one we saw from the structure.
  Working on effects for Fantasmic.

  A mother duck and ducklings out for a walk.
  Trees have gone in along the banks of the Rivers of America.
  The crane is getting ready for another move.
  

• Page Number: 64
  

  Some scaffolding remains up, the light colored spots are patches for the scaffolding that was there that have not been painted yet.
  To the left the trestle.
  Quite a few trees are in the area now.
  

• Page Number: 65
  

  Looking through the fence.
  

• Page Number: 66
  

  Well my guess of a waterfall was wrong for the terraces.. they are planting trees in them today.
  A closer look

  King Arhur Carrousel is looking faded again.
  Stopped for dinner at the Red Rose Tavern. No waits and plenty of tables.

  Mickey and the Magical Map was just about to get underway so I found a seat and sat back to enjoy the show.
  

• Page Number: 77
  

• Page Number: 78
  

  From the theater you can see the side wall for the new tunnel/berm. Trees are blocking a lot of it already and will fill in over time.
  From Toontown cranes dot the skyline.
  

• Page Number: 79
  

  Pizza is closed well before 7pm.
  The permanent FastPass distribution area for the Matterhorn is now open. Here is the sign for it.

  A lull in the crowd. Tomorrowland was not jammed at the moment.
  The Tomorrowland Skyline Lounge Experience was getting started this evening. This is an add on where you get to visit the lounge (2nd floor balcony of the Launch Bay) and hang out. You get a dessert, drink, character photo, charging stations, games, and views of Tomorrowland and fireworks if they run.

  A couple Main Street Electrical Parade Pictures.
  The crowd waiting to see if Remember Dreams Come True would go or be cancelled.
  

• Page Number: 99
  

  Remember Dreams Come True Fireworks were cancelled due to wind (this happens frequently). In its place they ran the opening and closing sequences without the pyro.. so soundtrack, projections and spot lights.
  Here is some video of the alternate show. They skipped the E-Ticket in the sky section. Also no Tinkerbell.
