A check of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge from the Mickey and Friends Parking Structure
A crane working in the center of the project. No sign of what was being lifted. Guessing this is for the Millennium Falcon assembly.

Not a lot of visible progress on the background spires.
More scaffolding removed from this group of spires. On the right you can see holes from where the supports were recently cut out.

Looks like they have started to remove the scaffolding from around this spire.
No real visible progress back here.
Moving over to the Parking Structure project now. A lot of the supports for the escalator structure are now removed so you can see the structure.
Supports for the escalators themselves are taking shape.
It appears the configuration mirrors Mickey and Friends with two escalators to each each set of floors. One to floor two, one to floors three & four and one to floors five and six.
Here you can see where the escalators will go.
A worker inside to give a sense of scale.

The walls are down from around the west side of the hub. The walkways appear the same. The vegetation has been altered and looks like water ways cleaned.

The pathway from Frontierland to Fantasy Faire is blocked off for some work.

Some boxes for World of Color staged in the Bay.
Nothing inside them. Guessing these will be for lights for Season of Light.
Luxo Jr. looks to be in place but covered.
The neon sign from the Lamplight Lounge is gone.
It has been replaced with this sign.
Pixar Pier as the sun sets.
Dumb luck I arrived on Route 66 as the lights were coming on for the evening.
The park was becoming very busy. The DCA entrance just before 7pm when Disneyland closed had almost every turnstile open to enter and it was still over 30 guests per line.
Made a second pass by the World of Disney.
There are three sets of display windows that feature projection effects. Here is a look at them.
Video of the World of Disney windows in action.
The other windows plain and look like this.

Pixar Pier
At 8:11pm the stand by line for the Incredicoaster stretched almost to the Adorable Snowman stand. It crossed its queue.
Toy Story standby wait as I walked by.
Found a spot for Paint the Night about 10 minutes before parade time. Then I waited.. finally about 15 min after the parade was supposed to start and no sign of it I decided to move on. Figuring it either started in Hollywood Land this week or was going to be cancelled.
Turns out it started in Hollywood Land tonight. All summer long it has been running from the Pier to Hollywood. Is this the new norm?
Decided to call it a night at this point. Thanks for clicking through the picture set.
