These are from Nearmap and are a older then the most recent ones from bio-reconstruct.

Yeah I know. Just posting them for reference. You think they ponied up the big money for the Nearmap subscription?

The most basic plan is $1000 a year, a lot for a fan site to pay and only to get maybe two or three updates a year.

I agree. Maybe they split it?

It's possible, I notice WDWNT has pictures from Nearmap also.

Pandora --

Registration for Preview: March 24
Passholder Preview: May 13-22
General Public: May 27

If TSL opens around the same time, I would expect a similar schedule. I've already put reminders on my calendar for most of March to keep checking for the Preview because by the time the emails go out, slots are almost guaranteed to be long gone.

Do e-mails go out days late, or do they really fill up that fast even without any sort of notification? If you have to happen to check at the exact right minute I'm not even going to bother.

I have heard of people receiving emails late. I'm not sure how fast they actually fill, but late arriving emails seem to be a common complaint with Disney.

A really good aerial update for SWGE. The berm received trees recently.

Toy Story land will all of a sudden come together as it looks like it’s mainly footpaths and landscaping that needs to be done.

Batuu (I’m making sure to call it that now) seems to have come on massively recently. Still a long way to go but impressive progress.

I wonder whether once Story story is complete that the workmen go over to Batuu, or they move and start serious work at Epcot or Tomorrowland

This is the best part of the construction phase as you start seeing the themeing elements come into place and the land really come together.

I also wonder if pretty much perfect construction weather helps a lot, compared to the heat and rain every single day.

Great pics.

What's going to happen to the path that midway mania currently sits on?

Looks pretty cool that slinky goes under a walkway. Didn’t see that before

It's moving along, but it still seems hard to believe it's complete in just 4 months.(memorial day) I mean, certainly not impossible, but the QS place doesn't look anywhere near ready. (Though i admit it looks better than volcano bay did this time last year.)

Average time to build a Fast food restaurant is 120 days. That’s groundbreaking to opening day. I googled it lol

Which really isn't relevant to this discussion since most fast food restaurants are a design that has been built dozens if not hundreds of time. The average fast food restaurant also doesn't have the level of artistic detail that this will have and isn't being build as part of a larger project.

Most fast food restaurants also don’t have the incentive to open as fast as possible, or the Disney money to make sure it does happen. It’s certainly not an unreasonable timeline.

Based on all the various stuff that is discussed and debated on these boards, I think it is relevant.
