Here is a good look at what was taken out for toy story

That's a very cool post. Thanks for sharing that one.

I am hyped that all this tear-down is going on - but I am the teeniest bit disappointed that we don't see more work going on in Toy Story Land. Star Wars land is going to be a very intricate job with lots of rock work, but TSL is really pretty basic - and I would think they would be able to get going on it. Two years from now it will hopefully either be opened or nearly opened, so it's time to get going on this!

Well they have been installing drainage systems and underground utilities seen in aerial photos.

I guess that's something. I just feel like I want to see progress.

With the disaster that they had with delayed startups on Rivers of Light and even the Frozen ride, I think they are going to be less and less likely to give us any hints as to when anything is going to open...but visual progress would really make me feel good.

Here is some new aerial photos.

Some backlot props are still out there including herbie...

It's curious that with so much of the demolition complete, they would leave that one backlot tour road untouched and have yet to remove those backlot prop vehicles (Herbie, Flight of the Navigator ship, etc.)

That's likely not a priority right now. They are getting the bigger stuff taken care of first and then will move that stuff later.

Mama Melrose kitchen refurb beginning Sept 12 for 4 weeks. Temporarily reduced menu (no flatbread options)

EDIT- this mean the Pizza Rizzo kitchen will be functional mid-October? (The 2 properties shared kitchen space, right?)

I just hope that they keep it. What I mean by that is they don't have to keep it on property anymore just don't destroy it

They will likely be placed in a warehouse.

"We have top men working on it right now."
"Who?!"
"Top... Men...."

LMA completely leveled when I was coming into work today. To many cars for me to slow down and get a photo. Will try again tomorrow.

Ok is it just me or is this the first time in a Disney park that there was a sign that said beer?

It might be. I'd have to look into that. I feel like I'm the early days of Epcot or something there might've been a sign that said beer but that's just speculation on my part.

We have more aerials!

LMA is completely gone.

That prop warehouse still standing directly in between two empty plots of land is going to bother me from on organized standpoint

I am really annoyed that we will likely just miss this opening as I'm guessing it won't be open in 5 weeks when we are there.
