Then everyone should get an account. Isn't the point, after all?

Not sure why I would want to bother with an account there. What benefit is there?

Considering I post information I get from there here you should be fine. Otherwise they do have several people who are in the know.

All of the entrances received permits except for MK. It appears this could be for permanent metal detector installation or something along those lines.

Update:
Pylons and I-beams being drove into the ground between the world drive lanes for what I'm assuming will be the conveyor system for DHS construction.

I have a wdwmagic account but if I linked to the post on wdwmagic none of you would be able to see it unless you all have accounts.

Gotcha.

The building that's left, is that the creature shop/blue screen section of the former backstage pass attraction? I know it's kind of connected to the midway mania soundstages through a tube so I'm just curious as to why that's still there of all things

I'm not exactly sure.

That would have been the original prop shop where the played the Dalmatian video during the tour.

This is what it looked like after they axed the walking part of the tour up until construction: http://disneyeventgroup.com/sections/decor/

That's what I thought. Wonder why it's still up

Probably to help hide work being done in the back.

Photo update although this was done before the backlot entrance was removed.

Have they run out of things to knock down? Is the demolition phase nearly done?

Well we're getting closer. Only a couple more things to go.

I did a walk around the parks today. Sorry no pictures.

Pizza Rizzo seems to be moving fast. Today they were installing the ceiling and lighting on the first floor of the outside eating area. The sprinkler system also looked complete. The lights are currently a basic black hanging cone design and the ceiling appeared to be a white corrugated steel. The second floor of the outside eating area was getting wired. Also by the exit of Muppets the facade that was the Phineas and Ferb meet and greet is still up. From the aerials it seems just a facade so I'm wondering if they might extend the city look in that back corner and they are keeping it to use it.

The last facade of streets of america, the one next to the Writer's Stop, had guys in a cherry picker and they seemed to be removing detail parts and wiring from the exterior of the facade. I expect this too might be gone within a week. I can still see the lone townhall in the distance, but we already hypothesized about that.

Over by TSMM as stated before the facade entrance to the Backlot tour is gone but the building the was behind the water special effects tank is still there. I also noticed two excavators and a drill. So it looks like we are going to see more interesting aerials soon.

Over in Epcot nothing of note, except Corey and Steven getting food from Poland (I think).

Part of that facade is staying. It may be rethemed but it's staying.
