  Thanks to the rising sun this morning the glare and lighting was horrible for Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge Construction pictures, so just a quick look, no video this week. Starting off on the left side as you look at it from the parking structure.
  The Battle Escape Building exterior wall preparations have spanned most of the side facing us.
  Another section of the roof concrete has been poured and the decking is going on for the last section.

  The large room that I am assuming is the hanger continues to have more steel added on the sides.
  Work continues on the roof of the structure next to the building. Looks like forms and connection points for steel that will support the facade are being installed.
  

• Page Number: 3
  

  Most of the forms are down, just the far end is left.
  Looking toward Critter Country.
  The steel to support the rock facades continues to grow.

  The colored tiles have been replaced with these now. Assuming these will offer more traction when wet.
  No waits at security this morning.
  First stop Disneyland. Main Street transportation was rolling out as we entered.

  Main Street USA this morning.
  I had a first timer in the group today, my 9 month old nephew. So our first stop was Dumbo. Instead of a feather you get a piece of paper claiming to be a feather.

  The view as we soared over Fantasyland this peaceful morning.
  The wait was only one cycle so under 10 minutes.
  

• Page Number: 11
  

  Stopped for a photo with Dumbo.
  Next up Finding Nemo, which held his interest for about 2/3 of the ride. The dark portion was a little longer than his patience.
  The Disneyland Railroad returned to service today. Balloons up at the stations as well as long waits.

  A train approaching.. not ours.. we would have to wait a couple more.
  It was 30 minutes from when we entered the queue until we were rolling through the Grand Canyon.
  

• Page Number: 14
  

• Page Number: 15
  

  Main Street USA had a queue that went down the steps. I heard several people saying they waited over an hour as the day went on.
  The trains look good as new.

  New Orleans Square Station was busy too.

  The extended seating area looks ready to go.

  Passing over the new trestle just past the Hungry Bear.
  Below the future walkway to Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. Right now just a quiet spot in the wilderness you can visit.
  The trains starts a gentle right hand turn just past the trestle to follow along the Rivers of America.

  The Keel boat docked on Tom Sawyer Island as a canoe passes by (they officially reopened too)
  Looking ahead as we cross another trestle.
  A new cabin on the island.

  It is Mike Fink's cabin.
  Looking back you can see how quickly the river turns now.
  The Hungry Bear looks great on the far shore.

  The story of the flute is still told, but now from on a rocky ledge where you can see him from the train and water craft.

  Stopped by Radiator Springs Racers. Interesting that the FastPass Return was backed up, both to scan and to board. I used single rider and it took me 10 minutes from entering queue till I was back on Route 66. Those with the FastPass in our group took more than double that to get through.
  

• Page Number: 38
  

  Used a FastPass for Toy Story.. I have to laugh at how bad my timing is. I took a picture and did not pay attention.. of course he was blinking!
  Paradise Bay this afternoon.
  Paid a visit to Ariel (since there was no wait at all).

  Stopped by Main Street USA to catch some of Soundsational.
  

• Page Number: 72
  

  Then headed to Indiana Jones to use a FastPass. There was a posted 25 min standby wait only.
  The line inched along. It seems they were letting too many guests in so the standby wait and FastPass return were both almost the same.
  The FastPass return line took us 25 min to reach the attraction and 32 minutes until we were back at the entrance sign.
