The backstage marina is moving along. Notice the white trestle structure on the right, that marks where the Disneyland Railroad will cross over the walkway that leads in from Frontierland.
You can see the rock work wire mesh now sticking up above the dirt. Assuming the smoke is from welders working on it this morning.
Work is moving along in the former section of the Pinocchio Parking lot. They are re-configuring the Mickey and Friends Tram Stop to move security out here.The current cross walk to reach the Pinocchio lot and walk to the parks.
Under wraps is the new tram way, it was poured recently.
The planters and barriers have been removed from the load/unload stop closest to the elevator.
