Yes. Not sure what was already completed, but now that the land is clear it makes sense to maintain that clarity. Also, now that land is clear, extending utilities to the site would make a lot of sense.
AK and MK look fine though. Just everyone wants to be at HS as usual.
I didn't see anything about the Village, but yes, that wouldn't surprise me. With only 2 hotels open at the moment... I'm on the fence about the opening hours of the Studios, I would say, open it from 8:30 - 14:00 or something, to keep the EMH and indeed for construction it would be better. From 8:30 - 11:00 in the new opening hours, how much work can construction workers do.

There is some more news about Halloween & Xmas:
Halloween:
- Halloween-themed selfie spots
- Extra decorations in Frontierland, including 3m/10ft high Catrinas (skeletons inspired by Mexican culture, so I presume in line with the Coco decorations)
Christmas:
- No shows (Boo
-Santa Claus will have a place in Videopolis
- Christmas themed selfie spots
- Mickey will be meeting in Christmas outfit
- Characters from Mickey and the Magician will meet (so my assumption is that currently they are out with the new hours in the Studios)
- Surprise outings of character and princesses
Disney + is also finally available for the remaining countries in Europe, like Belgium and Portugal were still out.
Oh, and the last bit of good news is personal: My 10 days of isolation are over after my DLP trip, so I can go where I want again
when we were there first week in August and waiting for COP, I saw several folks from the engineering team ( Dont Ask Me how I know them) inspecting the vertical support columns and noting and pointing to areas that def had cracks and loose concrete. sadly this is my one must do ride every time we go.....
Interesting, I assume also Starbucks will be open in the morning. Last two times I was there it was crazy in the morning. And the Starbucks at Cheyenne and Santa Fe are so slow. The hot breakfast they sell really slows them down. Plus only having one member of staff... also doesn't help.
Isolation upon return is not a problem for me in NL, but my friend in Belgium has a problem now if she wants to go France. Belgium said no to visiting France.Yeah the village hours are only for Disney shops/restaurants so doesn't include starbucks/mcdonalds. No idea about rainforest etc.Interesting, I assume also Starbucks will be open in the morning. Last two times I was there it was crazy in the morning.

Yeah, I saw plenty of pumpkins in DLP on social media.
My next visit is planned in 4 weeks, and I need France to do a little better, otherwise we would have to cancel
This kinda makes sense. And the photo that @TheMaxRebo posted shows just how close the active construction site is. Maybe a footer or some other structure got disturbed and they can't/won't address it until more Tron work is complete?
Word to the wise...
We arrived at HS early to try for a boarding pass (didn't succeed) and the lines were crazy so we headed back to BWV. Thought we'd jump on Skyliner to save the walking; got on at 10:30 when Epcot line opened and we are currently still in line at Caribbean Beach to transfer... 45 minutes and counting. Line is long, winding, and mostly in the sun.
Not sure if it's usually like this? But we are wishing we had just walked
(They were sending tons of empty ones "so the other end would have some to use")

Man. The Epcot line was less than 5 minutes for me at CBR a few weeks ago at opening, walk on from Pop to CBR. That's a big difference. They send the empty ones for people at Riviera, otherwise they would never be able to get on to go to EpcotWord to the wise...
