• First stop DCA... the facades are really taking shape and looking great!
• The one above the restroom building has stucco already.
• Noticed they have Minnie hands too (probably been selling them for years and I never noticed).
• The back side of the restroom facade.
• Looking down toward the Carthay there are now trees around the fountain.
• GRR is down for its annual work.
• Looks like they are going to be replacing some of the wood.
• Wonder if this area will be repainted again.. the green looked odd to me.. too bad they cannot find trees that will last, I thought those looked good at first.
• The Miner 49ers were performing, only a few weeks left in their run before the act is retired.
• The Redwood Creek Trail is reopened.
• You could smell the new paint/stain/sealer whatever you want to call it.
• Nothing really new or different jumped out at me on my quick walk through.
• Dug out for pictures.
• Moving on down the trail scaffolding up as they are working on the building and the lift hill.

• Here you can see a section that still has it at the top.
• More painting along the Pier.

• All five cones are painted now.
• A closer look. You can see the backstage wall taking shape behind the cones.
• An even tighter shot for those that wanted to see up close. I like the detail. That looks like an A/C unit below the window.
• Looks like the frame for a backstage gate being assembled behind the cones. Also looks like one of the Red Car garage doors is open.
• The pavement work in front of the Little Mermaid sure looks done. Surprised the walls are still up.
• Over at Maters more testing going on.
• Not much visible progress here.
• The Matterhorn.

• The fountain was on today. As you can see the water was being blown around a bit.
• The gutter work continues. Looks like they are making it more dull in color.

• I have failed to get a clean shot of Oswalds.. so here is a cropped and altered shot to sort of see what is going on.
• Crews pausing to watch the Monorail go by.
• Noticed a long line to get through the turnstile at the Downtown Disney stop. The Cast Member working it was examining hand stamps really closely and taking a long time. This is the same one that always seems to jam up the bag check line too.
• The Lego Store is behind walls as work is getting under way to remodel and enlarge it.
• Get it.. one block down....
• They have moved into the old Island Charters space during construction.
