• Panning to the right looking at the forms for the 4th floor closest to the camera.
• Here you can see the lower ramp will connect to the bridge on the 4th floor.
• All the temporary supports are removed from the original portions of the two ramps. The lower ramp is being connected to the 4th floor and the upper one looks like it will go to the roof span/bridge.
• On the far side of the structure work on the back span looks to be done on the 3rd level and going up to the 4th now.
• Survey tools on the roof where the connection will be today.
• A wider view of the area.

• Concrete being poured near the escalator area today.
• Looks like foundation work for the escalators.

• The new lines are coiled by the fountains but not installed yet on the center platform.
• Work on Pixar Pier continues. The permanent signs for Toy Story have been installed. Wonder if there will be an element spanning the two with the attraction name? It seems odd to have no indication of what the wait is for.
• No signs of progress on the Pixar Pal-A-Round. What appears to be mechanisms to stop the cars from swinging in the station are still there but nothing has changed since I first noticed them several weeks ago.
• The site for the Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind looks to be mostly cleared now. Looks like the old queue will stay.

• Mobile Order pick up are the first windows, to the right.
• Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge from the Hungry Bear
• Wonder if anything will be done to the gaps. From in the land it will not be a problem.. but sitting at a table in Critter Country it looks awkward.
