  I arrived to find a very busy parking structure at the Disneyland Resort. The tollbooth line was stretching to the garage entrance.
  It took about 10 minutes to get through.
  Just under 20 from the Freeway until I was looking at Star Wars Construction.

  I looked down and the line now stretched to the over pass.
  A couple of video clips giving an overview of the Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge Construction site this afternoon.

  Forms are still up for the walls along the path to Critter Country.

  A temporary platform has been erected by the opening of the Battle Escape Building. The steel next to it is for a stair well.

  This weekend is a RunDisney race, that is why there are fences along Disneyland Drive. The turn lane for Magic Way was blocked off.
  The left most portion of floor has been poured in the hanger, this is the side closest to Disneyland Drive.

  Long lines at the ticket booths this afternoon. I would advise looking at purchasing your tickets online or through the app and avoid these lines if you can.
  Pricing for today. I would have thought with the holiday weekend it would be peak pricing, but no.
  Long lines to enter Disneyland right now, 1:25pm. These were the longest I saw all day. The rest of the time it was normal. Guessing this may have to do with the 1pm parade that was going on.
