    The third floor of the Mickey and Friends Parking Structure had red tape indicating it was closed as I walked by on the stairs.
    A couple of video clips of the Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge construction from the roof of the structure.

    Starting on the left with the Millennium Falcon show building and steel for the rock facade.
    Moving left to the Battle Escape building.

    Next to it another concrete building. Notice the Columbia in the background.
    Moving back to the Millennium Falcon building they are assembling steel for the second half of the building.

    On the roof work continues on the various structures and HVAC projects.
    The last third of the roof has the steel deck laid and they are preparing it for concrete.

    Large steel beems still being moved into place.
    The hanger structure looks nearly complete.
  • Page Number: 8
    A closer look at the roof of the concrete building on the right. Assuming those are for steel to be connected to support the facade mountains.
    Moving back to the support structure on the Millennium Falcon building.

    One more wider shot before moving on.

    Construction is still ongoing on all levels of the parking structure.

    The exterior walls are being put onto the back portion of Splitsville.

    It was recently announced these three stores are closing to clear this block of Downtown Disney. The assumption is the new VR Experience that was announced last week is going here.
  • Page Number: 18
    Wetzel's Pretzels at the far end of the building was not included in the closure announcement so it appears to be staying with the rest of the building turned over to something new.
    A look at the Splitsville work.

    The end of the line for the Disneyland Railroad. Compared to what I saw Saturday and later in the day this was really short.
    After about 10 minutes and with the train in the station not moving the closed down due to an issue. On the way out I stopped to look at the updated train board. Notice they had four trains on the tracks.

    In a couple years this will be a sea of guests. Today it is a quiet spot to relax and watch the trains. It could use some more shade and seating though.

    Through the fence you can get a feel for how the mountains will tower over the land.
    Heading back to the trail.

    A very different feel for this one vs the the.
  • Page Number: 48
    Nice tribute to WED..
    No more looking through this fence.. they have the backside covered now. Would have been nice to have some windows like they have done for other projects in the past.
    Heading back to the trail.

    Interesting how a slight change in angle can alter perception.. this first one shows the steel looming and it looks larger than the second

    I used my second hand to shoot this video of the new northern section to give a different perspective to the one above.
    I disembarked in Toontown so I could get to Town Square faster to catch the All-American College Band. The line here stretched well beyond the station.
