    A closer look at the crew on the roof.
    Not a lot of visible progress here.. looks about the same as two weeks ago.
  • Page Number: 4
    This steel structure appears about the same too.
  • Page Number: 5
    The blue tarp is still up.
    A closer look at one of the rock formations.
    Looks like forms going in for something behind the Battle Escape building. Hard to tell if it will be a structure or a pad or something else from this angle.
  • Page Number: 6
    Looks like more steel up inside the building.
    A video overview of the new parking structure work.
    Pictures of the site. More forms have been assembled and are staged.
  • Page Number: 7
    On the far side nearest Magic Way the trees that were boxed up have been moved elsewhere.
    Looks like several are staying. Wonder if those will be driveways or something? Kind of an interesting pattern to which ones were left.
  • Page Number: 8
    More survey markers throughout the site.
    The earth moving equipment is still on site.. but not active again.
  • Page Number: 9
    On the far side work has begun with rebar being staged now and digging has started for foundation work.
    They have started to install the support columns. Here you can see a trench that has been dug and the first vertical columns being set up.
    Looks like rebar for the walls.
  • Page Number: 10
    On the left you can see a drill and a crane working. The process is they drill a deep hole and fill it with concrete. They then lower a rebar column into it and sink it to ground level. It is allowed to set/dry. Then they come back and start assembling the above ground portion.
    Looking toward the center of the project.
  • Page Number: 11
    Here you can see the crane has a rebar column that is being lowered into a recently drilled hole.
    A closer look
  • Page Number: 12
    Then they come back and attach the next section of the column to the portion in the ground to extend the structure upward.
    Over top of the hole so workers know there is a hole.
    A closer look at the drill. The hose went to a concrete truck.
  • Page Number: 13
    Here they have most of the column sunk in the ground and are working on lowering it to ground level.

    Making my way to Disneyland. I needed to renew my annual pass and with no line the process still took nearly 30 minutes. Would be nice if they gave the option to renew the Premier Passes online.
    As I stepped onto Main Street USA the Omnibus pulled up, so I boarded for a trip to the hub.

  • Page Number: 20
    Onboard the Mark Twain they had the top deck roped off. They removed the ropes as the boat set sail. That was different than usual.
    Passing New Orleans Square.
    On the left there is still a gap where you can see the parking structure. Hopefully more trees are coming. Then it will just be a waiting game for them to grow a bit taller to block the top of the structure.
  • Page Number: 21
    A look at the Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge rock work from the Mark Twain top deck.

    As I neared the restaurant I reopened the app and said I was there.
  • Page Number: 45
    I found the mobile pick up area and waited a few moments for my food to be ready. It then notified me via the app that it was.
    It saved me several minutes since I did not have to wait in line to order. The lines were mild but still it would have been 5-10 minutes at least to order.
