  Leaving the Boardwalk a little earlier today, it was just after 8am and the goal was to be at the Magic Kingdom by 8:55 for the new opening show.
  A clear picture of the work going on near the Magic Kingdom parking entrance for the new overpass.
  Arrived at the Magic Kingdom at 8:26am. Nice to be able to get this picture again with security moved.

  Decided to use the Annual Passholder entrance since the others had a few guests in line. Someone forgot to change the sign though and it says exit only.

  Since I was early went up onto the Train Station for some Main Street pictures. Scaffolding around the emporium as facade renovation continues.
  Main Street USA at 8:30am. Main Street now opens early so you can roam around, shop, eat before park opening.

  Decided to make my way to the Tomorrowland Speedway since it had been a while since I last visited and I realized I did not have a full video of the attraction.

  The posted wait was 5 min (a little hard to read in the picture). This turned out to be wrong, it took almost 15 minutes. They had only one load zone in service and four cars at a time.
  Current safety warnings for the Tomorrowland Speedway.

  Caught the 10:30am bus to the Animal Kingdom. Passing by the TTC. The security wait looked minimal at the moment.
  Utility work underway in preparation for the new roadways going in.
  Something I do not recall seeing before. People fishing in one of the retaining ponds. These two guys were fishing in the pond as you exit World Drive to Buena Vista Drive.

  Across Buena Vista Drive from Coronado Springs it looks like they are using the area as a staging site for construction.
  To get to Animal Kingdom the Express buses use Western Way and you enter through the back gate. Along Western Way you can see the tree farm for WDW.
  Looking up Western Way before we turned backstage (and photos were no longer allowed).
