  • Page Number: 1
    Starting off today on the 3rd floor of the Mickey and Friends parking structure looking at the back connection span to the Pixar Pals Parking Structure.
    Signage has been installed.
    Looks like dirt for the landscaping is piled up on the driveway.
  • Page Number: 2
    Looking across to the new structure, looks like some electrical work underway.
    On the ground level they are installing fencing.
    The driveway between the two garages and ramp up to the new structure.
  • Page Number: 3
    More signage in the new garage. Also looks like the spaces have been striped.
  • Page Number: 4
    Crews are still working on the exterior of the structure.
    Landscaping work on the left and supplies staged on the right for the tram stop area.
  • Page Number: 5
    Looking toward the new tram stop.
    Here you can see fences being installed for the tram load area. Looks like individual lanes and no ramp, this will be the front/first car.
  • Page Number: 6
    Looks like most of the pavers for the tram stop area are installed.
    The new tram way does not look poured yet.
    The front connection span.
  • Page Number: 7
    Looking into the new structure.
    A couple of the parking sensors were activated. This one showed red when I was standing in the spot.
    It turned blueish when I walked on to the next one.
  • Page Number: 8
    Looking back at the Pixar Pals Parking structure
    Moving around to the tram stop side of the structure. Pavers are being installed and more landscaping has gone in.
    The roof is being added to the escalator structure.

    On the far side of the site there is a lot of activity this afternoon.
  • Page Number: 11
    A closer look at the roof work.
    Roofs are being added to the escalator covers, notice the 5th floor on the right vs the other two on the left.
    On the ground they are marking off curves and other elements for the paver installation.
  • Page Number: 12
    As of May 1st Disney started enforcing stroller size restrictions. There are size checks by the elevators and security.
  • Page Number: 13
    A closer look at the paver work.
    The elements waiting to be installed.. hard to make out what they are, maybe panels for the roof of the shade structure?
  • Page Number: 14
    The fence posts have been painted and beyond them looks like support posts have been added inside now.
    The elevator structure has been repainted.
  • Page Number: 15
    Looks like some painting going on the top level with plastic up.
  • Page Number: 16
    A slightly better view of the escalator covers
    The other two escalators do not have covers yet.
    The temporary walkway in the center. On the left looks like the new tramway has been poured.
  • Page Number: 17
    A different angle of the roof work.
    Still no panels on the escalators.
    Forms going in, guessing for paver designs.

    Steel being installed around the stair case.
    A wider look at the security entrance area.
    A wider look at the tram stop area.
  • Page Number: 19
    Moving around the corner to take a look at the Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge work. There is almost no visible change and this may be the last construction look at the project. Cast Member previews start in just over two weeks.
    The steel that was sticking out to the right has been removed. So I guess this is the final product.
  • Page Number: 20
    The backstage area looks complete and crews are working on the Rise of Resistance attraction still, it will not be opening until later this year.

    A building in Black Spire Outpost through the trees
    There are still a couple spots that the rock work supports are visible that look awkward from the Mark Twain. Guess eventually trees will cover it. Until then it could use something to try and mask the steel.
