The new Pixar Pals Parking Structure is racing toward its completion date — the end of the month. The new tramway is poured and the new load area is nearing completion.

From my vantage point, I could check out the Marvel Project construction. You can see steel is rising up as the building and facade take shape.

I spent a good part of the rest of my day exploring Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge for the first time. Since there have been so many other posts on it, I will skip that for now, but will have more photos as I return to see how the new land develops.
