  Starting off this visit checking out Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge from the Mickey and Friends Parking Structure.
  Not a lot of visible progress from this angle. The background spires seem to be stalled.
  More scaffolding down from these formations in the middle of the project.

  Another concrete pumper sending concrete to support columns for the next floor it appeared.

  The LampLight Lounge sign is still the temporary one.
  The bay looked a little cleaner this week, less brown.
  As I walked around Pixar Pier I overheard a couple of groups talking about the overlay and the comments revolved around the thought it was temporary just for the summer and surprised it is still Pixar Pier.
  

• Page Number: 27
  

  No sign of Bing Bong yet.
  Wanted to go for a spin on the Pixar Pal-A-Round but the thought of standing in a line that stretched almost to the top of the ramp in the 90 degree weather did not sound fun so I kept walking.
  Coco was still being celebrated in Paradise Gardens. This is the final weekend before Christmas takes over.
  

• Page Number: 28
  

  A fair number of guests moving around. No sign of the Festival of Holiday marketplaces yet.. but they will be in place by next Friday for the opening of the Christmas season.
  Spotted something new along the trail in the Grizzly Recreation Area. Boxes on several of the posts.
  These appear to be snow machines. Another plus for the area for the holidays.
  

• Page Number: 29
  

  Also spotted additional speakers on several of the trees (a little hard to see with the shadows).
  The bears at the entrance to Rushin' River Outfitters are decked out for the season. A bear wearing a sweater in 90 degree weather helps to set the Christmas mood.

• Page Number: 62
  

  Had FastPass for Racers and wanted to use it but this was the return line. I hesitated then bit the bullet to wait.
  Moved a little faster than I had thought. Only 3 minutes to enter the queue but I could see it backed up ahead.
  6 minutes to the water tower
  

• Page Number: 63
  

  No secondary scan today.. 14 minutes from entering line until I was about to board.
  On my way. 15 minutes. Longer than I would have wanted to spend but still not too bad. The stand by line was barely moving because of the long FastPass return line.

  There are two new dryers located across from the Rushin' River Outfitters so you can warm up and dry off after experiencing Grizzly River Run.
  One is accessible with a ramp too.
  The cost is $5 for about 3.5 minutes of heat lamps and air. You and 4 friends can crowd in (the posted limit is 5 guests).
  

• Page Number: 66
  

  In the couple minutes I was in the area no one gave them a try. It was still in the 80s so no real need for dryers.
  Used a FastPass for Toy Story Midway Mania. My score turned out ok but I left a lot of points on the table and was no where near any of the high scores as usual.
  

• Page Number: 67
  

  No signs of progress on the mechanisms under the gondolas on the Pixar Pal-A-Round. My hope was to get in a spin before it became too dark.. but due to slow loading and one group wanting off on the cycle before mine it did not happen as planned.
  A check of the Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind site this evening.

  A couple walked up and decided to use one. They viewed it as a photo booth/opportunity. They were not on the ride. And took turns inside and taking pictures.
  I did not want to intrude so I only took this one picture from the side. The system is basically a series of heat lamps that turn on and then some fans the circulate the air around. They were commenting how at first it felt like nothing but then heated up quickly.

  The Nutcracker preview was a ghost town. No signs of guests in the couple minutes I was in the area.
